It’s not often that I’m in the mood to rock a short skirt. And this is about as short as my skirts get. Short skirts make me a tiny bit self-conscious. It’s not really a body image thing – I mean, my legs aren’t spectacular or anything, but I have no complaints. I have two of them. They work most of the time. What more can I ask for? We can’t all be Gisele. My self-consciousness is more of an irrational fear that my butt cheeks are hanging out or that someone will see my underwear or (more likely) that I’m flashing some cellulite. But for whatever reason, weekend before last we were heading out for a date night and I felt like strutting my stuff in a mini. And not only did I wear a short skirt, I wore all black. Who am I?? A leggy, classy broad, that’s who.

I’ve been meaning to get a thicker brown leather belt for a while now to mix up my never-ending parade of dresses and midi skirts. I ordered this one on sale at Madewell in the XS, but the smallest notch was still slightly too big for my waist. Yes, I know, this is why I don’t have many female friends.

Being the classy broad I am, I used scissors and blind ambition to poke an extra hole in the belt. I thought I put it in a good spot but it ended up being a little farther away from the last hole than I meant. Soooo let’s just say I was squeezing a little extra juice outta these lemons. But you know how the saying goes, when life hands you lemons…and you’re skinny…nobody cares about your “problems.”
