Why the f*ck did I wear that?

Look life can’t be all about Lofted Settledness. Sometimes you just have to cover yourself and leave the damn house. And sometimes you don’t even realize how you feel until you’re out and it settles in and you feel — unsettled. Grrrrr. Why the f*ck am I wearing this?

What do you do when that happens? One thing I love to do is give myself a second take.

Generally when it happens to me, I’m out and I’m like shoot, “I should have _[worn a different shoe, added a blazer, put a tee under]___ …” So when I get home, instead of peeling off the offending pieces and getting right into my go-to Calders, I discipline myself to try, try again. I thought maybe it would be helpful to share the process. (If it is, will do more of these. Also, feel free to send me your struggle look and we can fix it here.)
