July already?

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 [...]

Summer fun

Okay, so it’s not quite summer yet. It certainly feels like it at 78 degrees yesterday (in April! In the Upper Midwest! A sign of global warming?). Now that summer has arrived, I feel the need to break out the cute skirts and capris and summery-casual shoes. Only one problem: I have no cute tops.
It’s [...]

Money doesn’t grow on trees…

Too Many Shoes?

I went on a trip to the twin cities (aka Minneapolis-St. Paul) this weekend with a club from school and, of course, we went to the mall. I was searching for a nice, flirty black skirt for social dance, and some dance shoes if possible. I found both: a black A-line skirt from H&M with [...]

Silk and Crocodile

The other day, I purchased a set of lovely silk pajamas that were on sale, and in a very interesting light turquoise, teal, lavender, pink, and yellow print that I liked very much, consisting of a little neglige and a gorgeous robe. I have since come to the conclusion that every woman should own silk [...]

Ahh… I feel so… cleansed.

Well m’dears. I have officially and ruthlessly cleaned out my closet. Clothes that I never wear, even though I might wear them someday (maybe), are going to the thrift store. As are most things that don’t fit, are worn out (you can only repair a pair of jeans so many times, people), or very out [...]
