Have you been swinging from powerlines?

New addition to my bag family.. not quite sure whether I should keep her yet, so this post is mostly to showcase her.

I am definitely loving the cooler weather. It's nice to be able to layer and wear sweaters comfortably. This week has been full of rain and clouds, and while most people dislike this disgusting weather, I enjoy rain once in a while. It reminds me of when I studied abroad in China and we hiked during a rain storm, or playing ultimate frisbee the first month freshman year at college in pouring rain. I wish I could do stupid stuff like that again.

You can purchase the sweater here. My mom was staring at me during dinner one night (when I had the sweater on) and finally I asked her what she was doing and she commented that the sweater was really nice and asked where I got it. She was relatively surprised to find out it was from Forever 21 and said "I didn't realize they made such nice things."

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..
