Soooo…here’s a subtle and understated top I got recently. It didn’t look quite so outrageous in the photos online, and once it came in the mail and I tried it on, I realized it was ridiculous, so naturally I kept it.

Luckily, I had plans to go to a Janelle Monáe concert, and this top looks like it should go with the pants in her Pynk video. Just slightly less, you know, anatomical.

Now I just need to find at least 2 more appropriate occasions to wear a shirt that looks like it belongs in an upscale circus so I can prove I made the right decision.

My very first job was slinging yogurt at TCBY. I loved ice cream and froyo so I wanted to work there and get free treats. My mom insisted I would start to hate ice cream after being around it all the time. Boy, was she wrong. Not only did I always cash in my free product on each shift, but sometimes I went there with friends when I wasn’t working. I still always keep ice cream in the freezer and home, and getting serve-yourself froyo with a boatload of toppings is one of my favorite special occasion treats. (Sometimes the special occasion is just Sunday evening.)

I usually pick 2 or 3 different non-chocolate yogurt flavors, and then I pile on all the chocolate toppings. Cookie dough, peanut butter cups, and Oreos are a must. Kristin always gets a tiny dollop of vanilla with just rainbow sprinkles, and this is something I will never understand about her. Not quite grounds for divorce but still very concerning. Treat yo’self, woman!

What’s your go-to frozen dessert?
