Bell sleeves are great for those days when your forearms are feeling totally bloated.  Such a common problem, amirightladies? And if you can make it through a whole day wearing bell sleeves without dipping them in any of your 3 meals (or 5-6 if you’re like me), congratulations! You’ve just earned yourself a big glass of wine. Now that I think about it, bell sleeves kind of look like upside-down wine glasses. That might explain why I’m a fan of this trend.

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.
