There’s the woman who will turn to her significant other and say: “Does this make me look fat?” And then there’s me, who asks: “Does this make me look like velociraptor?” And because I have a wonderful significant other, the answer is: “Yes, but in a good way.” (I thought velociraptors were the ones with the neck frill thing, but now that I try to find a photo, I think it’s a dilophosaurus. Whatever.)

I tend to wear more black during the winter, but I prefer for my black to have a little flair to it, so if it can be reminiscent of some kind of dinosaur (the species isn’t that important), that’s a bonus.

I got this skirt because (1) I love yellow, (2)  I love midi skirts, and (3) Nicole from Writes Like a Girl has this skirt and she’s a great style role model if there ever was one! I will probably never be as outgoing and genuinely positive as Nicole, but I can at least dress like her. She’s probably the kind of person that when you go shopping with her, she picks out all kinds of cool things for you to try on, and then she tells you enthusiastically how amazing you look. On the other hand, when you go shopping with me, I say “meh” to the first 5 things you pick out, get bored, then wander off to do my own thing. I’ll meet you at Starbucks in 45 minutes. (But Nicole, if we ever get to meet in person and go shopping, I promise I won’t abandon you.)
