'Wear that damn skirt and dark lipstick!'

These are the words I said to myself as I stared at the mirror. When I go shopping I have a habit of occasionally buying something I would love to wear but hardly ever have the courage to. This year I decided that I wouldn't buy any more new clothes for a while, and would instead try to wear the clothes I haven't dared to go out in more often. It seemed like a good idea at the time but when I faced it in front of the mirror I wasn't so sure. What would people say? Was it a step too far? Should I just not bother and change?

However I decided to put on my Dr. Martens and take a selfie to capture the moment. Sometimes you've just got to go for it and try something new, while keeping the comfort zone close by (the Dr. Martens in my case).
