I Was Committed


Sweater - Zara; T-Shirt - Smart Set; Skirt - H&M;
Tights - Secret; Wedges - Aldo

Yesterday, when the alarm went off I wasn't ready. I'd stayed up late the night before glued to the US Presidential election. I couldn't go to bed; I just had to know! Anyways... I wasn't exactly prepared to start my day at 7 a.m. so when it came time to get dressed I was looking for comfort over chic.

When I finally settled on this look I was happy; I was comfortable, yet I felt put together (enough, put together enough). I spent a good part of my morning strutting around my apartment just loving it.

And then I walked outside.

Overnight it had somehow become winter. Within two seconds I realized that my skirt was much shorter than I thought, and rode up while I walked exposing so much leg to the elements. No thickness of tights could have spared me the horrific chill. I hadn't walked more than a block away from my apartment, but I knew I couldn't turn back - I was committed and I soldiered on.

Thankfully my walk is only four block, so I wasn't exposed for long.

What would you have done - gone back and changed? Or, forged on?

  2. When I saw the title "Petite Adventures" within the comments on Emmett's blog, I knew I had to come see what you are all about. At 5'1'' I'm firmly ensconced within the "5 Foot Mafia". Us shorties have to stick together ;)
