Compliments from Budding Fashionistas

 This is a new top that Nick picked out and it’s already gotten a lot of wear. He has great taste, doesn’t he? I wore this outfit to one of my last clinic days where a 14-year-oldish patient came up to me to tell me how much she loved my shoes. I could tell that she was a budding fasionista herself because she was wearing a cute little top half-tucked into skinny jeans, and lace oxfords. When I told her that I found these shoes on sale for $13 at Old Navy, her eyes lit up. I’m pretty sure I know where she went right after her appointment! I wish I could have taken a photo with her, but that probably wasn’t allowed. She definitely made my day, and I hope she found a pair of green heeled sandals of her own.

I wore this outfit again last week for my internship final evaluation presentation, where I was complimented again by the field placement director on being well-dressed and appropriate for the work place. So, I would definitely say this outfit is a win; it makes me feel great each time I wear it.

I was afraid that the statement necklace wouldn’t make much of a statement, and I can tell from these photos that I was right. It did get lost in the chevron pattern but I tried several different necklaces with the same effect. Next time I might go with a simple pearl necklace or a solid scarf instead.
