What I Want Wednesday: To Rock Out
I usually like to be very girly, flirty and feminine. But sometimes I need an outfit to wear when I want to unleash my inner badass. Something that I can walk around town in with a major attitude and rock out in my car to “Just a Girl” by No Doubt (an old fave) without looking corny. I think…
