This past weekend was my Aunt Judy's surprise birthday party--it was mid afternoon but I still wanted to look festive and cute. This outfit seemed to fit the bill.

I really liked the belt and thought it added a lot of curvature and shape to the outfit but my mom and sister saw it when I walked in and told me to take it off, that it looked better with the jacket open by itself. Then Dad said he didn't like the pink shirt sticking out under the jacket.

In other words, the outfit I was thinking was ultra cute and feeling ultra snazzy in was an ultra flop with my family.

I still don't get it. I think it looks cute. I should have just kept the belt on. But I could snack more on the great food without it...come to think of it, maybe belts are bad. Especially at holiday party season!
