The Uninvited Guest

Cardigan, J.Crew. Blouse, Tommy. Skirt, belt, and pumps, Banana Republic. Yellow necklace, thrifted. Pearl necklace, shady little shop in Paris.
News flash: I have a hidden talent. No, not the footfist thing, that's old hat. I can predict Oscar winners like it's Roger Ebert's business and last night was no different (what up, six years straight!). I can also stuff my face into a coma, complete with recurring nightmares, new nightmares, and a nightmarish bloat. The latter has decided to overstay its welcome and I am ruefully stuck indoors because nothing will (comfortably) fit at the moment. Does that happen to you? Well, it happens to me so often that I almost never wear pants (unforgiving), which usually gives people the wrong impression: that I'm fancy and overly girly. I guess it beats grumpy and gassy! I'll take it.

Love all the color! And very bare legs - I can't wait until I can get away with that.

rlutz said...

ha...sadly that is another reason that I rarely ever wear pants...dresses and skirts are so much more forgiving!!

You are a master of colorblocking.

Another one for the "I'm copying this" folder on my desktop! I am bloated and gassy all the time... But I love jeans so I recently went and bought a few pairs a size up for those "balloon" days!

Ashley said...

All these colors = AMAZING!

ash said...

ah i see you choose the skirts over pants, so clever! i opt for oversized shirts. so while you look "overly girly" i look like a middle aged mom in the 90s. must rethink that...

Popcorn, Pugs & Peonies said...

Wow, I never would have tried to put those colors together, but they look amazing. Must remember this idea.

B said...
