The Naked Skirt

Black button-up sleeveless top, Wal-Mart; belt and skirt, thrifted; gold and pink almost-flats, Payless; neckless, Guess (thrifted).

This skirt is a very lightweight cotton and is shorter than I am typically okay with. But it's super comfortable. In a moment of fear before I walked out the door, I did end up throwing on black cropped leggings.

Those of you who are SATC fanatics may recognize in my title the reference to Carrie's naked dress. Disclaimer: I am in no way attempting to compare myself or this cheap little skirt to SJP or SATC. And worship the show though I do, I have yet to see the movie. The flea market guys are already offering up a hot DVD of it, but I am waiting out for the real thing, at which time I will gladly curl up on my couch with some health-conscious pop corn and, yes, a cosmopolitan.

In other news -

Weightloss

I am pretty sure it's that special time of the month, because my weight shot up inexplicably. I am trying to talk myself into sucking it up and going to weighin this weekend anyway, but I do believe I will declare myself chicken shit and not go.

Working

I got a very, very parttime job working as a cashier at a Mexican joint downtown - very hip (the place, not the job). I am only doing Saturdays from 10-6, and only then because I get to work with bf's sister. Truth is, I haven't even gone in the restaurant since maybe sophomore year, and even then, I really didn't like the food. So - we will see. My first day is this weekend, hopefully I can remember where the front door is.

Writing

I am proud of myself for having buckled down this week. I'm going to try to go for quantity, not quality (kind of the theory behind NaNoWriMo) and just get something done.
