It’s the last day of the year, and I’ve run out of words. I did a pretty good job of rationing them throughout 2014, I’d say. I should be restocked on words – hopefully witty ones – in 2015. See you then!

I finally figured out how to not look overwhelmed on top when I’m wearing a midi skirt: wear a shirt that actually fits me. It turns out I acquired quite the collection of somewhat loose-fitting tops during law school, all of which look great with skinny jeans, and all of which look frumpy with a full skirt. It doesn’t help that all my favorite stores are doing this vanity sizing thing. I decided not to expand with the rest of America, and somehow my normal size outgrew me. Now I have to get ridiculously small expanded sizes if I don’t want to look like I’m playing dress-up. This sweater is an XXSP – it took me a while to realize that this is apparently what size I am now, even though XXSP sounds like it should be the size of a dog sweater for a Pomeranian. Apparently, to Ann Taylor, it’s also the size of a sweater for a thin adult woman whose height is only 1″ shy of the average. Go figure.

And yes, I’m fully aware that complaining about how I’m too skinny for regular clothes is a good way to continue having no female friends.
