Day 21. comfy

This one might be my favorite word so far.  Comfy is more then often what I strive toward in my style. I dont like being uncomfortable but I do know when sacrifices need to be made for the love of the art!!  The fashion trends right now have been putting comfortability up front and center.  Baggy, draped pieces are in, in, in and I love, love, love it.  Now we must be careful when approaching this trend because looking "comfortable" is not always a good thing.  Sometimes that is a translation for looking "sloppy." EEEKkkk

This dress I bought recently from the sale rack at Urban Outfitters.  Their sale racks are too darn good that they steer me away from ever shopping in the rest of the store!  Anyway, when I put this on in the dressing room I didn't even have to contemplate buying it.  I instantly saw myself gravitating towards wearing this all the time and I had to have it.  Its not just one of those baggy, box dresses.  It falls in a way that shows off some curves while having movement.  I could lounge around the house in this dress, I could sleep in this dress, I could run errands in this dress, I could go to the beach in this dress, and I could even throw on a belt, a sassy necklace, some heels and go to dinner in this dress.  What do you think of that?  Cant say that about too many things now can you?  Now I feel like the word of the day is versatile and not comfy.  Guess I got a little side tracked.

Dressing comfortable is all about the fit.  Its when we start wearing things that dont really fit us that we feel restricted.  I immediately just thought of a waist belt.  Yes, I love them and they can add so much to your figure but, there is nothing comfortable about going out with a non stretchy waist belt to restrain your every breathe.  I have come to realize that the belts I tend to wear all the time are the ones that have elastic in them, so I dont have to loosen it after dinner!! I recommend purchasing elastic waist belts to help stay comfy while keeping the look you want.  You'll thank me I promise!
