Throughout the course of the day, this outfit morphed three different times. The red khakis and white blouse remained the same, but the add-ons changed. I was like Clark Kent bolting into the phone booth only to emerge seconds later with a whole new look. Actually it was all temperature and foot pain dependent, and unfortunately had nothing to do with me turning into a superhero to fight crime and evil in the world. I figured for the sake of keepin’ it real I should share all three looks with you. And to really keep it real, I took the photos after work so that my pants and blouse had that wrinkled lived in look to them.
My friends, I do believe I have finally mastered the skill of rolling the artfully messy cuff on my pants. More often than not, I prefer a messy cuff to a neatly folded one. But for some reason this particular ability has eluded me forever. Believe me, I’ve studied photo after photo on Pinterest and just couldn’t quite get it. I’ve determined that first and foremost, don’t over think it. Just do it. Make the first roll wide and sloppy, do a quick second roll over it and be done. Don’t fuss with it. Don’t adjust and readjust. Fussing just takes away from the haphazard messiness of it which kind of defeats the purpose. What’s your cuff of choice? Messy or neat?
