Didn't actually wear this today, but when I got home I wanted to see what I had in my closet that might fit the inspiration photo. I probably never would wear this exact outfit because it's not that flattering and the shoes are cruel. It's a "warts & all" photo complete w/ bandaid on my arm and eczema-scarred legs! My waist looks much thicker in the photo than it does in the mirror - not sure which image to believe.

Dress: Wrap dress I've had for a few years, origin unknown. Shades of grey and rose, but photo makes the darker grays look black and the lighter grays look white. Dress represents the sunset sky and dark water.

Cardigan: grey cashmere, Wyton, from Nordstrom. Luxuriously comfy, but so bathrobe-like I mostly use it as loungewear at home over a tee and yoga pants. The cardigan represents the elephants.

Belt: wide black belt w/ wooden buckle to represent the trees. TJMaxx

Shoes: Ecote from Urban Outfitters, plum-brown chunky platform pumps; horribly stiff & uncomfortable so I should just get rid of them.

Necklace: rose beads and mother-of-pearl disks for the sunset sky sky and moon.

Not my best look, but I'm trying to get brave enough to post more photos here, whether they're flattering or not. How can I get useful advice if I don't let you see what doesn't work as well as what does?
