Since I am very dark skinned,

which I bought because it was so pretty
之所以买下它,是因为它太好看了
that I just couldn't pass it up.
让我不得不为它驻足
I thought that even if it may not look good on me,
我想,即使这件衬衣不会衬托得我更加美丽
it's still a good looking top
它本身也足够好看了
and so I just wore it to work.
于是我穿着它去上班了
And a co-worker complimented me!
没想到,同事居然夸赞了我!
She said "That top is really cute

我立刻哭成了泪人儿
I am feeling good about myself ever since.
从那之后,我开始有了自信
The point is,
这件事让我知道
Don't be so insecure
别让心中的不安全感控制自己
