Dress Your Best Week: Day 1









This week, I am participating in Academichic's Dress Your Best week. The focus is on dressing to accentuate your best parts, rather than focusing on hiding the parts you don't particularly like. For Day 1, my focus is on collarbone, legs and butt.

This off-the-shoulder top is great for drawing attention to my collarbone and shoulders. I was not working today (last day off to recover from removal of my wisdom teeth), and I spent most of the day in my apartment and lounging around reading at my local tea house. I chose the leggings because they are super comfortable and they show the shape of my legs while at the same time allowing me to remain covered and thus warm enough.

I was initially thinking of wearing just the t-shirt and leggings, but I felt too undressed for public, even though I do regularly wear less clothes when dancing. Since I wasn't dancing (except during my photo shoot), I added this short skirt to make the outfit just a bit more decent. I feel more dressed, but the skirt is short enough that it still allows my legs to be seen. And, you can still glimpse my cute little butt in the pink skirt.
