Sunday Best: Thrifted Blazer, Tulle Skirt, Blue Shoes

In an effort to avoid tearing through my closet (like most Sunday mornings) like a maniac, I decided to lay out my clothes last night before going to sleep. Meh. It didn’t work. The proposed outfit was all wrong; the button on the blouse was missing, I had a snag/hole in a pair of favorite tights, and the shoes I wanted to wear were not in their box.

I tore a blazer off its hanger, zipped up a black skirt, added a belt, and was hurriedly on my way. During praise and worship I looked down and saw that I was wearing blue sequined shoes, with a black tulle skirt, and a bright orange blazer!! In my fit of I-have-nothing-to-wear-rage I forgot to exchange the shoes for a pair of black shoes. To make matters worse I was wearing peep toe shoes with tights. “Oh, woe is me.

Not! If there’s anything I’ve learned over the past several years, it’s this: the fashion rule is that there are no fashion rules.

27 year old teacher wearing a tulle skirt? Rule broken.

Black belt and blue shoes? Rule broken.

Horizontal stripes on a non-stick thin frame? Rule broken.

Growing up I was very matchy-matchy and color coordinated. The color of my shirt had to match my shoes, I refused to wear pantyhose/tights with open toed shoes, and the very thought of wearing anything tulle was laughable times 1,000.

So, while standing in church and looking at my strange choice of shoes, I got over myself and proceeded to do what I went to church to do (it did not involve mulling over some blue shoes).

After all, they’re just clothes and shoes.
