Snow Day

Today was an unexpected snow day, and rather than using my suddenly free time to be productive, I was engaged in four iPhone scrabble games, got caught up on a few tv shows (White Collar, Leverage, How I Met Your Mother), tormented-- I mean photographed my dog, and experimented with my teal knit skirt and black eyeliner.

The problem with the teal skirt is the length, and the fact that I bought it online, probably choosing to ignore the length measurement, and believing that something just above the knee on a model would work for my height.

Since I wont bother to return things if I have to pay for shipping, I just kept the skirt assuming I would figure out how to make it work. Hemming is clearly not an option, but perhaps cutting off from the top and creating a new waist band?

For today, I just pulled it up as high as I could and belted it to keep it in place.

I also spent far too much time trying to find a cute - but classic - trench coat, and failing. Now matter how hard I try, I always want the crazy ones. The yellows, the pinks, the patterns... The closest I came to 'classic' was this ruffle trench at New York and Company, on sale for $30.
