Well, no, but I might be wearing a witty thong!

Maxi dresses have a tendency to be too long on me because I'm so short, so this one from H & M is no exception (it's probably about a foot of fabric too long). First I thought about getting it professionally hemmed, but after the estimate turned out to be more than the dress, I rejected this idea (to hem jersey material is ridiculously expensive). Then I toyed with the idea of just chopping off the bottom and leaving it raw, but my OCD rejected this idea. Today, as I was dressing for work, I put on the dress and belted it, coming up with this look which I actually quite like (perhaps more than just having the dress on without draping it). So ended my nightmare of what to do with this dress, I just loved it too much to part with it on Ebay.

Oh, and since I always like to mention a little bit about work.. I've managed to get some virus on the computer rendering it completely unusable at this point. Considering I am probably the most computer literate in the company besides the IT guy, it sucks that I got such a bad virus .. so sad.. been mourning my computer all day..

I have got, pants down, the best birthday present ever.

Today was my birthday! Long weekend, bbqed, partied in the city last night, fun times. This outfit was from last week, we got an email at work regarding our dress code, which is still casual but they reiterated the fact that we can't wearing anything that hits above the knee (there were a couple of knees showing that day).. so I came up with this for work. I'm cutting it close because it's not actually long enough but really, who wears stuff below the knee at our age? And I'm super short, so it just makes me look shorter. They didn't hassle me about it so I'll have to find more stuff to wear for the summer.

Tired now.. need to recharge. Off to Phoenix for a big volleyball tournament.. hopefully I don't melt because of the heat.

Wow, how did I go my whole life without ever learning any of those words.

Falling in love with these shoes.. versatile and comfortable, most likely you'll see me wearing them often. Did my hair today with a braid again, these pictures are actually after a whole day of having it in my hair. As far as my hair, it held up well considering a) i suck at braiding my own hair and b) my hair is so thick that braids look god awful in it.
