Wow! Long time no post!
Summer is underway up here, well underway. Ridiculously, hotly, humidly underway.
The skirts I so longed for in spring are now fun and lovely, but it is still annoying to shave one’s legs every day.
Also, I have discovered that I do not have nearly enough cute, summery blouses.
I am happily employed post-graduation at a museum. Except that it’s in the country and I’m the only employee, so as of yet, no need for office wear! It makes me so sad. And I found the loveliest chocolate brown fits-me-like-a-glove jacket the other day, too. And on sale! Was $70, I got it for $20. Amazing, I know, but c’mon, it’s me we’re talking about here.
Also, I feel the need to rant a teensy tiny bit. I like the new babydoll trend that’s going on right now with one exception: If the babydoll tops are longer than your bum, they’d better damn well be long enough to wear as a dress. I bought the cutest mauve babydoll knit top the other day and tried it on (fit wonderfully), but I was wearing a skirt at the time. So I tried it on with jeans when I got home and…? Major disaster. The knit fabric came down below my bum and clung there, throwing the lovely, A-line shape the top should have been giving me completely out of whack. It was on sale for $8, so I don’t know if I should just return it or attempt to hem it slightly shorter. It is really cute. I’d hate to have to send it back. Hmm, we’ll see, I guess.
Is it terribly awful that I want it to be autumn already? *grin* Though I haven’t worn the swimsuit (nor gone swimming) yet this summer, so maybe it should last for a little while longer, eh? I just want to be able to wear layers and jackets and sweaters! With gusto!
Alas, it is at least two, possibly three months away still. Also, autumn = the shortest season this far north, which sucks hardcore as it is my favorite! Summer is too hot, winter is too cold. Autumn is perfect!
Ah well, back to my grant research and writing I suppose…
