I’m a frilly, ruffle, bow tie, cardigan with a skinny belt kinda gal. I’ve always had my way with trends. In high school name brand baggy jeans was the stamp of fashion approval. I wore the baggy jeans, but I’d wear it with a button down shirt and a tie. I thought I was the biz!
Recently I had an experience on FB. My friend posted pics of a few of us ladies hanging out after work. One of her friends made a sarcastic comment about the pic saying that my flower is “HUGE”.
I, in turn said it is huge and that if she wanted to borrow it, it’d go great with her ears. It ticked me off…but I didn’t want her know that she got under my skin…I just wanted to jab back a lil. Shame on me…to let a lesser get to me in the first place. She’d have no advice to offer anyone considering on her best day she gets her pieces from racks that sit outside the store on the sidewalk. Then I made it very clear that she and Em are friends….and we are not.
Afer that I second guessed my HUGE flower choices. I like huge flowers, but I wondered if they were an offense to the masses..lol. I later read a post that TBS did on the dramatic corsage. I felt back in my glory again. Vindicated if you will. The Huge flower isn’t for everyone…nothing is. Lesson learned? Never let a lessor heffa make me second guess me. We ain’t the same kinda people.
Saturday, I decided I would wear a royal blue suit that I hadn’t worn to church in a while. Normally, I wear it with a brooche. Instead I opted for a Huge flower!
My flower swing is in full effect. I did a lil something different today. I’ve not paired either of these items together before. I wore my sheer sleeveless plum shirt with a turtle collar, paired with a yellow cardigan, and grey slacks. My fave part is the flower accenting the black skinny belt.
