I just grabbed this skirt and these shades from Madewell a couple days ago (and when I say “grabbed,” I don’t mean I stole them – I literally did grab at these sunglasses as soon as I walked in the door and saw them because they’re so freaking awesome). I’m pretty excited about the skirt because I’ve been wanting a black and white striped skirt for awhile, but it’s hard to find one that doesn’t make my lower half look like a bloated upside-down pear. I like this one because it doesn’t taper into the knee, and I think the way the side panels break up the lines creates an optical illusion that’s a little more slimming.

In fact, I love this skirt so much that I’m making it my Take One, Pass it On item, so you’ll see it again tomorrow! (In case you forgot already, this cardigan is my repeat from yesterday.)

My feet are buried in leaves, but I really was wearing shoes, see?…

So here it is December, and most of the country was way above average temperatures the past couple days. Americans are all about their freedom, and apparently the weather thinks it’s free to be 70 degrees at the time of year when everyone is singing “Let it Snow” and “Winter Wonderland.” But hey, I’m not complaining (except about having to shave my legs). I took the opportunity to put on my favorite breezy skirt and go do some studying at Starbucks. My first exam is on Saturday and it’s very tempting to stay cooped up in the house for a week. But if I spend too much time at home, ironically I begin to look like a homeless person. So. Real clothes and fresh air it is!
