I just love this outfit. I recently purchased the sweater and top from Debs {this past Saturday}. The shoes are also from Debs, but I bought those last summer. See a trend here? It is the perfect kind of outfit for a warm day, but a chilly night. I can either toss the sweater or keep it wrapped around me to fight off the cool, {almost} summer night chills.
The color red looks amazing on generally all skin tones. My favorite skin tone to see it on is tanned/dark. It just compliments it really well. That is why I love donning the color of red. It makes me feel bold. Plus, I can add random little things in photos like that flower vase above with the red {fake} flowers.
Have you ever gotten a random compliment that has made you smile ever so much? Like, you really did not expect it, and it just really makes you feel good. Or just brighten up your day. I love those types of compliments. They are much better (in my opinion) than those that you expect. When you least expect it, it means that they are true (usually). Seriously. When have you gotten a random compliment from a stranger (or anyone) that was fake (unless you can tell they're mocking you, but that's seldom)? Exactly. It just does not happen as often as getting a compliment from a stranger that they really, honest to God means it.
So why am I bringing up random compliments? Haha, well today a lady randomly complimented me as I was walking inside of Wal-Mart by saying (really loudly, mind you), "Yeah, girl, keep showing those big, pretty legs." Tiny compliments like those can make a difference in my day as in yours when you get them, I'm sure. As they say, the tiniest things in life can make the biggest impact. Just because of what that lady say, I felt just a bit more confident in showing off my legs as I tend to get a little more "modest" (use that term loosely) when it comes to showing off my arms (hence the daily blue jean jacket), back, and legs. So to hear something as random as that really made my night. Does tiny compliments make your day a bit more better?
Song Choice: 'Home' by Chris Brown. I really like this song. The meaning behind it (when you really listen to it and not just the immense amount of profanity) is...interesting. Saying don't beg for stuff and expect stuff when you weren't there when he didn't have anything, I enjoy this song. You should give it a listen - I think you'll like it. Click below to hear.
