    Let’s pretend.

    Let’s pretend that I’ve hemmed this skirt to a more flattering length, that I’m not really American (oh, yes, definitely that one), that I’m a secretary from 1943 who has a dashing employer(preferably one that looks like Toby Stephens) that will one day sweep me away to live in an Edwardian-style mansion where we will live happily ever after… and that you will all unequivocally agree that the larger pictures are better. Let’s also pretend that I’m really going to wear this all day because I don’t have to go to work and be practical. Or perhaps let’s pretend that I can wear this to work because it never gets too…

So look on, and be jealous of my amazing thrift-store shopping skills. 😉 This is the only decent picture I got today. The best friend was in the room, and I kept laughing. Most of them are like this: So… y’know. The green shirt and skirt  are two of the things I bought on my birthday-shopping trip. The rest are as follows: This one was one of those skirts that I tried on for the fun of it and ended up…

    My library is better than yours.

    So this is what I wear when I go to the library. I always wonder if they ever try to figure out what it is I do, because I’m always dressed up… and I always go in around ten or eleven in the morning. Hmm. Anyway. Yay for more semi-awkward pictures taken by my mom! I so need to learn to stand still and wait for the click of the camera. Secret: this skirt? It’s a dress. Yeah. Shocking, eh? I mean, it’s not like I’ve ever done that before… Okay. Maybe I have. So I have another confession: I’ve committed a very grave fashion sin. I bought a dress…
