I snagged this polka dot dress on sale at ASOS and was instantly excited to receive it in the mail.
When my package showed up, I tried it on, and was somehow unimpressed.
Regardless, I hung it up in my closet, and decided to wait it out.
Fast forward a couple weeks, and I needed it, haha!
My boyfriend and I went to dinner at Canoe Restaurant (highly recommend this place btw) and I needed a dress that was semi-formal.
Lo and behold this was my only option.
Usually I’m not an advocate for keeping anything that you don’t love instantly… but to my surprise, sometimes it works out.
So often we set ourselves up to believe that we can’t pull off certain “trends” or pieces of clothing. (I know I do at least.)
When in reality, sometimes we just need a boost of confidence.
That being said, next time you buy something and are contemplating returning it, I challenge you to wait it out a bit, and try to determine if your reasoning is lack of confidence.
By all means, if it’s ugly, return it lol - but if you need a bit of confidence, hang on to that dress/those shoes or whatever it is until you muster up the courage.
