saturday i woke up mad as a sprayed cockroach. sometimes that just happens. but i've been working on my anger management issues(which is weird in itself because i have a great life). i've been taking body combat classes at the gym. i love pretending i'm punching and kicking people. especially when the instructor yells, "go for the groin!" and i think, "why yes i will go for the groin!" i get a week's worth of angst and aggression out in a one hour class. and then when that's not enough, i do yard work. i rip out weeds. i chop down trees. i snarl at chipmunks. following this formula, saturday was saved. an hour at the gym and then several hours in the yard, i was happier than a dead pig in sunshine.
completely unrelated, this is what i wore to church today.
this is the same skirt from here. everyone who commented said to keep the length, but i just can't do mid-calf skirts without feeling like a cow(barn humor! cockadoodledoo!). so i chopped it and made it knee length. and i don't love the color combination, but i do love the silhouette of a fitted sweater with a full skirt. silhouette and fit is more important than color combination for me.
and my shoes! hurray! i thrifted them for $4! thrifting shoes makes me want to throw up a little in my mouth, but these looked so new i thought i was snatching up someone's shoes they had left on the floor whilst trying on something else. so you know i high-tailed it to the register with the shoes in hand before their rightful owner could claim them, just in case. a nice alcohol cleansing(who says alcohol doesn't solve problems?) and they are finer than a frog hair split four ways.
sweater- target
skirt- tulle
shoes-thrifted($4! boom shakalaka!)
have a blessed memorial day y'all!

You look lovely! I can't do mid-calf skirts either. I always think they always look frumpy on me. Although, I like both lengths of this skirt equally on you.
Barely anyone can do midi skirts, so who wants to worry ^^ I have one question though: How happy is a dead pig in sunshine?
Relatable Style
Your posts are so funny and the skirt looks great!
Love your use of similes (is that how you spell the plural form??) in this post!!
So cute. I thought of you yesterday as I was getting dressed for John Evan's birthday party. It was so hot yesterday and just the idea of wearing pants or even shorts was too much. "It's just a party," I told myself. "I can't wear a skirt." But then I remembered how you always say you're overdressed a lot and so I took a chance and wore a skirt and I was cool and comfortable all day. It was a black and white skirt so I wanted to give it color and wear a top other than black or white, but I couldn't be THAT brave so I ended up just wearing black. But comfy and cool was I!
I miss you Heidi
Heidi! Love the skirt. This morning I thought of you and had the guts/inspiration to take a pair of scissors to my clothes. I got out of bed, found an old cream corduroy skirt in the back of my closet I haven't worn since whitney was born (because it's mid-calf length) and at 8:00am I cut it to knee length, hemmed it and it was ready to go by 8:15. I did it with the sole purpose of wearing it to church today. I know. Kinda risky, since me and a sewing machine don't get along. I read this blog all the time and never post. I always get inspiration from your posts though. Thanks!
Have never seen a cockroach look this pretty before! Skirt is so cute!

Your lipstick looks so great with the blue of this skirt! Stunning.
This skirt is FAB.
Ask the Duplex
The skirt looks great! I am always partial to a longer skirt length, but both look good on ya!
ps-I bought a dress the other day and I can't decide if it's too short. I need you to come over and tell me. It does have a thick hem so it could be let down. But I'm not sure if I should bother...
Oh and I'm sad I didn't find those shoes...what size are they?
