olive & ivory.

2.26.2013


 do you ever put on an outfit and just feel like-- a woman? with my body, i often feel like i'm still kind of a kid, it doesn't really bother me, but occasionally i see someone with a really womanly figure and wonder what it might be like to feel really sophisticated and grown up. when i put this outfit together and looked in the mirror i felt like that and it was fun. I'm glad to know i have something in my closet that i can go to when i need to feel, well, more grown up!

i feel it's only appropriate to end with this:
and feel free to discuss those male back-up dancers, because--wow, i really want to hear what you have to say about them...

I always go for cinched waists and fuller skirts, but as someone with a "womanly figure" sometimes I would kill to look a little less grown up, to be honest.

You look really lovely in this outfit. Especially that skirt! I have a "womanly figure" and love to embrace my curves, especially on Sundays. It would be nice to dress more casually with the ease you do.

I think I'm just gonna go ahead and buy one of those male backup dancer's shirts for my husband.
I love Shania Twain but this music video is ridiculous! haha

1. love the outfit 2. i think when I wear black leather like a jacket or skirt I feel most attractive....and put together. 3. Those dancers with the guitars are most talented. I mean "step together step" and those shirts....wow... :)
