Trading on Day Trips

So, Friday, I got a tattoo with my sister and her boyfriend:

It's pretty badass. I'll understand if you're too intimidated to read my blog anymore.

This skirt garnered several compliments when I took a day trip to Yellow Springs on Saturday but it almost wasn't worth the high-waisted discomfort.

I'm growing tomatoes in a Shell oil bucket ... That's what we environmentalists call reuse.

While crazy comfortable, I wouldn't recommend this ensemble for a day of ambling about town. I just felt too exposed.

When Forever 21 didn't have the dress I wanted in my size (really? no mediums?), I bought this one instead. I think it's a fine runner-up.

While in Yellow Springs, I stopped at a yard sale and got this dress for $1. Hurray!

That's funny. I love the way high wasted things feel...

And while I'll continue reading this blog, my impressed meter might slide down. ;)

Don't beat me up!

I too have found myself oddly attracted to Jessica Simpson shoes. At first it felt so unnatural, so wrong, but I've grown more comfortable with it all and even purchased a pair. Alas, they were too big but the smaller size was nowhere to be found. Maybe next time.

I like the runner up dress quite a bit!

Erin - Gah, a low reading on the impressedometer?! A sad day, indeed. Maybe my gut is just too unruly for a high waist.

Jess - Yeah, I was disturbed at how many of the shoes I liked at TJ Maxx were from JS's collection. A similar taste in footwear might be all that we have in common with Ms. Jessica!
