I think it’s important that I finally set the scene for how I blog most days and how I am blogging today. As usual I blog during my lunch break at work. At the beginning of lunch I walk over to Emily’s desk and ask her to take a picture of my outfit with my iphone. We laugh at the awkwardness of the background and how she is practicing taking pictures incognito for “People of Walmart”.
After that I write my post and then email the pics to myself and then post them as well. I like to make it a super quick process so I don’t spend all of my time editing and tweaking the post. It is meant to be verbal vomit (gross) of what I am thinking at the time.
Today’s situation, almost the same except that Emily went out for lunch before I asked her to take my picture so I might just have to add the picture later. Also in the mix today, spaghetti and a white tank. If you saw me eating my lunch at my desk today you would think, did the girl just learn how to eat? How do you graduate from college when you can’t even eat spaghetti? Well maybe you would agree with me, that eating spaghetti is hard because of the noodles. They are long and hard to twirl around the fork… but the main reason I am eating like a complete dork is to avoid spilling red sauce on my shirt. Good luck. It will probably end in complete disaster. Even dogs can eat spaghetti…

So anyways, there is one piece of clothing that always makes me laugh, well not exactly the clothing itself but the adjectives used to describe it. Batwing (Batwinged?). You know what I am talking about right? You probably don’t find it at all funny, but when my sister and I were doing inventory on my closet, any time that we had to label something batwing (ed?) I died laughing. She laughed too, but mostly because we are sisters and she is obligated to.
I have never worn this batman shawl, I have had it since this summer when I bought some things that would be more work appropriate at TJ Maxx, but never really thought of a good outfit to wear it with. You will probably laugh when you see this picture because, it is a black sweater basically and shouldn’t be too difficult to put into an outfit with just about anything, but I always found it difficult.
Today I conquered the batwing (ed?). Together with my new H&M white tank, not very new purple necklace, and pretty new purple knotted suede flats, I did it. We did it. Oh yeah and I also added a headband because my boyfriend turns to me the other day when we are shopping and says “I like it when you wear headbands.” (PS he has never seen me wear a headband but…) I said “okay” and today I wore a headband, ironic thing is most likely I will not see him today. Oops.

Batwings and non batwings. Still trying to figure out how to not make my face look like a 12 year old. One day
