i try not to care but people are just so annoying
so i went to work in this outfit. i was nervous about it, to be honest, because it has the kind of age-associated issue everyone from work’s been commenting about (basically, they say i look like i’m in high school). but really, i think no matter what i wear or how much make-up i pile on i will still look a lot younger than i am – mainly because of my height – and i wish people would just leave me alone.
purple belt – thrifted
oxfords – thrifted
headband – gift
bag – local bazaar
trench coat (that looks more like a sack than anything else, but i love it to bits) – thrifted
trench coat (that looks more like a sack than anything else, but i love it to bits) – thrifted

but now, the hallway’s so full of things like a colorful painting and elaborate fake flowers and all these magazines piled together. it kind of makes you wonder what they think employees will be doing in that place. or maybe someone knew i took my pictures there and decided to give me better ambience?

I think it’s a great look. Don’t worry about looking younger than your age — I always did (look younger) and as my mother says, time takes care of that.

believe it or not I’m not really a people person I find most so annoying and inconsiderate but on a positive note I really like your outfit!

i know exactly what you mean about looking alot younger than you are. i am 20 and look 12. its good and bad and annoying and amazing all at the same time.
i love your outfit however, esp the shoes!!

That dress is a fabulous thrift! The white shoes really make this outfit though!

Is your post about shopping gone? It’s still in my google reader, was great – I loved to see where you got all your items from!! I am all about thrifting, would love to go in your city, great shops.

I guess, looking younger is better than looking old? 🙂 & I love your yellow bag!

same thing here with the age thing. i'm almost 25 but ppl think i'm 18 or something! tops 20! my sis is almost 22 but she looks older than me! but don't mind all those ppl. when we'll be 40, we'll look like being in our 30's! who will be laughing then? ha! 😉
