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.)

One day the other weekend I decided to ignore all other responsibilities and just have a Sunday Funday. We took an impromptu trip to the Indianapolis Museum of Art to see the orchid exhibit because orchids just happen to be my favorite flower. I like how they’re not symmetrical all the way around, which makes you think: what are all those other boring flowers doing wrong? And it’s almost intimidating how beautiful they are. Basically, orchids are my role model.

The excursion got even better when someone recognized me from the dance performance I was in a few months ago and he wanted to tell me I did a great job. I pretty much felt like a celebrity, just gallivanting around in my suede jacket looking at fancy flowers and getting approached by fans. I think I’ll ignore my responsibilities more often.
