giddy blues

I am a nerd and a big fan of manga (Japanese comics).  I'd made an order at my bookstore-within-walking-distance (!!!!) and it took a few weeks, but fiiiinally came in, and I was so thrilled I dashed right out the door.  And then I realized I was wearing this long, narrow skirt, and it was really hard to take my usual long strides while walking (even though I'm short, I walk pretty fast normally!  especially when I'm going somewhere I want to be quickly.  Like high school or the bus stop, or a bookstore with desirable books, or a warm building when it's cold outside...).  I had to take many tiny-short steps.  Such a bother!  So I got impatient and rolled up the waistband to shorten it a few inches, and then continued on my way.  It was sooo much easier!

And then I got my beloved books.  And I read them.  And one of them (pictured, barely) had a cameo by a certain favourite-character from another series (that I haven't actually read much of, only seen pictures from) so I was thrilled to pieces.  Glee!

classics

sweater - Old Navy
tie - VanHeusen

I left one of the knit flowers in my hair (since it was already braided in) and made sure my outfit matched it.  My Peter Rabbit earrings were well-received :D

soft and sparkling

sweater - So
scarf - handmade
skirt - Ann Taylor

I got a new skirt!  A couple, in fact.  Not that I needed them, but when we had our monthly get-together with the extended family, my awesome cousins had an impromptu mini clothing-exchange, and I got to join in (though I didn't have anything to offer)!

I'll have to be careful not to let this skirt get covered in Finny's fur.

Still got braids!!
