So, I got holla'd at the other day. It has been a long time since that has happened (oh, when I was about 16 and my friends and I hang out at the mall for fun) so it stuck out to me. It also stuck out to me because um, the boy who holla'd was around 15. And no, I was not wearing this outfit. I was wearing leggings and a t-shirt while walking my dog in the park. I didn't say anything, I just ignored it and kept walking, but he persisted: "hey girl, come over here and talk to me." I completely ignored him but I really wish I would have said something witty and made him feel silly.
"You're on track to become a predator, kid."
"I'm 26 and have been married for 4 years, so you are promoting infidelity."
"Ew."
Luckily for the kid, I am the most non-confrontational person ever. So I just kept walking and thought about the fact that he was far enough away to not notice my
stray gray hairs and slowly appearing eye wrinkles. Oh guess, what? He also kind of made me feel good.
I've still got it, yo. Whatever
it is :)
I would have been flattered, too. Sure, he was 15, but hey, you must have looked hot for him to make such a fool of himself. Although 15-year olds rarely need an excuse to embarrass themselves. I'm not sure where I'm going with this. Oh yes: You've still got it! Woot! :) I love the turquoise jeans with the Aztec cardigan. Love! I just discovered you lovely blog through a link-up...I'm so happy to now be following along!
ReplyDeleteHaha, yes, as I remember, 15 year-old boys rarely do need an excuse to embarrass themselves :)

Thanks Caroline! I'm so glad you're here!
DeleteI love this cardigan! You look so cute. That is hilarious about that guy. I was walking down the strip in Vegas (by myself) heading back to the hotel after shopping, and this young guy yelled 'Hey! Are you alone?!" Creeper. I practically ran back to the hotel.

Hahaha! Um, I don't know how he didn't realize that asking someone if they're alone is a HUGE red flag!? Vegas is so fun but it can also be so terrifying!
DeleteLove your sweater!

Thanks, Lindsey! I love it so much that I probably wear it too much :)
DeleteAlmost bought this exact same sweater but opted for a thicker one!! Love it! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's such a fun pattern, isn't!? I'll have to check out the one you bought!
DeleteOh man, kids these days... I think you made the right choice to ignore him, but if I was in that situation I would be tempted to have a witty comeback too, like "Sorry I don't babysit" or something :D
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is lovely, and goes so well with your green pants!
Haha, I like that response! I wish I would have said something so badly :)
DeleteIt's nice to have those reminders sometimes, isn't it?! :) I love this outfit on you! Skinny jeans rolled just a little bit is one of my favorite things right now and you did it so perfectly here! :)
ReplyDeleteJess
Aw, thanks Jess!
DeleteYeah, it's a weird feeling - half creepy, half ego-boosting. But yes, you do still have it! And this outfit is fabulous. Love the combo of colors and prints. You're making me think I need green jeans. :)
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need green jeans, Amanda! I don't know how, but I swear they go with everything :)
DeleteAnd yes, it's a weird feeling. I hated that it made me feel a LITTLE bit good, but it's the truth!
Anyone would have been flattered though I am twice that boy's age. I love this Aztec Cardigan and you always make some fun outfits out of your Green Pants. Cute earrings, too.
ReplyDeleteInterested to Guest Post for me in February? Let me know.
Haha, yes! I'll put something together and then email you!
DeleteTHis is super pretty! I love the whole blouse, sweater, jeans combo with all the colors and patterns! You really nailed this one, you look amazing!
