Day 2: Grace's Inspiration

Grace chose today's photo. Here's the lovely Reese Witherspoon:

And here's the Jen:
 
This silhouette is not my favorite. It's hard for me to surrender my waist--it's one of my favorite things about my body--so I much prefer fitted clothes that show it off rather than hide it. Which is why when I bought this boxy tee (in two colors, no less) I almost immediately regretted it. "I just don't know if I like them that much," I whined to David. "I think I'll take them back tomorrow."

"Put one on," he instructed. So I did. "You look cute. Keep them," he told me. So I did.

I'm so glad, too, because I wear them all the time. And the loose, flowy, not-so-hourglassy look is growing on me. It's still not my favorite but at least I gave it shot. Plus I'm always a fan of the side braid, so that helped.

    1. I don't think anyone has ever called my blog "super fun" before. Maybe I should step up my game and make that happen more often! :)

  3. Ha, we think alike. =) I'm so used to pairing baggy with formfitting that baggy and baggy just threw me! However, I think this sillouette is really cute on you! Your husband knows what he's talking about. =)

    1. I hear ya. Baggy on baggy will probably always be a challenge for me. But at least it's breezy and cool when the weather's all kinds of sweaty.

  4. I totally agree - the loose top + bottom was really tricky for me. But I think you look adorable! Comfy and casual.

    1. The stripes are what sold me initially. Aren't you so glad they're everywhere these days? Stripes rule.

  6. Side braids are the best, right! And go with the flowy shirts - nice and comfortable for summer!
