This is the kind of look I see on tall, freakishly chic women (in magazines, where tall, freakishly chic women live). I usually go loose on one half, fitted on the other, because I’m a tiny, only wannabe chic woman.

Maybe I got all pumped up on fireworks over the holiday but I decided to go for it, flattering proportions be damned. I can’t quite decide if I look really cool, or just like I’m wearing a fancy potato sack. But the point is: I tried something new! Another new thing I tried recently? Radishes. (Unrelated… just wanted to share.)

We had quite the non-traditional Independence Day. No BBQ, no fireworks. We started the day with a yoga class, had healthy breakfast at home, went shopping, went to an artsy movie, then went out for ice cream. I didn’t even wear any red (see above). That’s my way of celebrating my freedom – by doing absolutely nothing patriotic on the 4th of July.

But, we did have dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, and what says American gluttony better than the Cheesecake Factory (even though I had a flatbread and French wine, but who’s counting)? And guess we did play with sparklers in the front yard when we got home. Pretty much Miss America right here.
