Got invited to kind of a “summer hangout/Pool party/ day drinking stuff” and showed up in a bikini, a cute fishnet top with a silk scarf, sunglasses, and my Jacquemus bag feeling iconic and was like in the mood to go to a festival or something. Everyone else wore linen shirts and chill shorts. Total startup energy. I barely knew anyone and so I didn’t even walk in. Saw the crowd from a distance, realized I looked like a cringe music video extra, panicked and left. Now I regret it, because it could’ve been a great chance to meet new people. Wish I’d stayed and owned it, but I kind of panicked and left. What makes it worse is that the person who invited me is actually kinda cute. Super Great. Now I’m the “unfriendly girl who ghosted the barbecue.”

TL;DR: Misread the vibe, dressed completely wrong in a full Coachella-like outfit, bailed before even saying hi, and now I feel dumb.
