Trying new things can sometimes be confusing, be exciting, be frustrating, and/or so many other possibilities… but one thing is pretty standard: it’s exhausting. I’ve been trying all kinds of new things lately… entering not one but two (and maybe even three!) photo contests is just one of them. I’ve always avoided contests of all kinds, always certain I’d never win and therefore embarrassed to even try. But I finally realized something… a contest is not about winning (though don’t get me wrong, I’d of course love to win lol!), it’s about striving, it’s about participation, it’s about stretching yourself even just a little bit further than you already do. And that is, yes, mentally exhausting (and depending on the stretch, possibly physical as well). Wow, I need a cigarette break! (Not that I smoke in RL any more lol!)
As for this all new outfit that’s EXCLUSIVELY for those of us who wear the awesome Tonic bodies, all I can say is double-Wow! Pairing the shimmery silk elegance of the blouse and its four levels of sheer (I’m wearing it on high sheer with a bra underneath) with the rich leather sheen of the mini skirt with its strappy thigh slit (in 16 luscious colors!) is a brilliant combo… and I absolutely fell over when I saw these amazing wedges which also have 16 colors that can be mixed and matched together for all kinds of looks. For me, they were absolutely the perfect finishing touch!
