I finally decided to bite the bullet and wear the Aquatalia Vavoom Chianti rain boots that I bought last month because I decided I should either wear the things I bought or else return them. It hasn't rained at all recently but I decided to wear them anyways. I wore them with my Nordstrom teal cowl neck sweater, a black braided belt from Forever 21, and the Gap Always Skinny jeans. (I was debating between those and some black legging-like jeans...which do you think would look better?)

We went to my daughter's ballet lesson and then to the park. I felt a little overdressed compared to everyone else, especially at the park (mostly everyone was in T shirts and sweats, and a lot of people were wearing Merrell Mocs, the same ones I used to wear everywhere!). And when my husband saw me in the morning, I got the dreaded "Is that what you're wearing?" comment. I think he is getting a little annoyed with my fashion kick and told me I am obsessed with taking pictures of myself (I'm only doing it to get feedback from you guys! And to document the major changes I've been through). I think he thinks I am too vain now. At the park I was asking him to take pictures of me and the kids because I really like having pictures of our family (I like to take tons of family pictures and he doesn't like being in them so much), but he thought it was only because I wanted pictures of myself in my outfit (I did want some pictures of my outfit, but that wasn't the only reason). He said, "It's really not as interesting as you think it is." So I am feeling kind of bad today. Am I being too vain? I'm just having fun and trying to learn how to dress nicer but now I feel kind of guilty about it.

ETA: Thanks san, I really think I should explain that my husband is normally very very supportive of me, and initially he was really happy about my finally wanting to become more fashion conscious because he has been bugging me to start dressing nicer for a long time. He has complimented me a lot on my new looks. I think he is just getting a little fed up with me taking pictures of myself and posting them on the Internet because it isn't something that he would normally do and he thinks it's weird (he was teasing me for posting my muffin top jeans pics on the internet). And he thinks I spend way too much time on this forum. I hope it was just a one-off bad day for him, because I really like this YLF group and I am having lots of fun!
