just girly things

[ironymaiden]

a local shop is doing a BOGO sale, so what started as a "new pants for C" trip turned into new pants for C, two dresses and a skirt for me. one dress has bookshelves, and the other has an allover print of scientific equipment. then i was going to order tights but instead ended up with a garter belt and extra long thigh-high socks.* i've worn dresses a lot more in the last year, so i might as well have warm legs. i'm not sure why i got out of the garter habit, as someone who is both heavy and tall "one size" in tights never fits (and the color choices for things that do fit are bland). more like i got out of the skirt/dress habit and the underpinnings dwindled away as they wore out or my weight fluctuated.

i have also finally committed to preordering a pair of Bernadettes. they claim to be walkable due to the heel construction. (if it's really true American Duchess may take a lot of my money.)

Several folks in my circle are doing the Snowflake Challenge, and #12 "resurrect an old meme" amused me. so here's a real blast from the past:

you are yellow #FFFF00

Your dominant hues are red and green, so you're definately not afraid to get in and stir things up. You have no time for most people's concerns, you'd rather analyze with your head than be held back by some random "gut feeling". Your saturation level is very high - you are all about getting things done. The world may think you work too hard but you have a lot to show for it, and it keeps you going. You shouldn't be afraid to lead people, because if you're doing it, it'll be done right. Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.
