My Life is a Blur

These days I secretly get excited when I have a chance to dress up even if it is just meeting friends for dinner.

I love this skirt that I picked out of a bag of hand-me-downs. My grandmother always seems to find plenty of friends whose daughters have outgrown their clothing. Digging into the bags, I usually pull out ill-fitting trousers or items from the 80s that should have stayed in the 80s. I had a little more luck this go around. The stretch adds a body conscious element to what otherwise would be a stiff wool pencil skirt, and the interwoven metallic thread adds just enough flair to tone down that secretary look. In general, I try to avoid knee-length skirts unless it's for work, but this I can make an exception for.

It is also the first time I have stuffed a dress into a skirt and passed it off as a top. The thin cashmere material definitely allowed me to pull off the look. I'm afraid anything else would have given me a bumpy torso and buttocks. Sexy.

For dinner, I met up with friends at Black Walnut, and we satisfied our sugar cravings afterwards with generous portions of sweets at Ruggles Cafe Bakery. Good dinner, friends, and yummy desserts always seem to make the perfect night.
