This top has two of my favorite qualities in summer  clothing: it’s light, and it’s and colorful. Aaaand I’m now realizing how often my clothing’s qualities are the polar opposite of my own personality qualities. Opposites attract, as they say. Incidentally, this skirt loves skydiving and chit chat.

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.)
