Rain on

Today was not a particularly good day. At work I was completely incapable of doing anything right, from the very first thing I did all the way through - - 5:30 could not come fast enough.

When I finally got home, it was just in time for a massive downpour. I waited a while, hoping it would stop, so I could at least take my outfit shots. Eventually Desmond (the xsi) (yes, my camera is named after my favorite Lost character) and I just decided to get a little wet. I considered rigging (duct taping) an umbrella to the tripod, but I decided it would be too much effort.

At least my new skirt of Jungle Paisley is bright and cheery. It was kind of hard to not get a little matchy when you've got five colors to pull from, so I chose yellow and turquoise.

This turquoise belt is from the thrift store and is insanely long. At 42", I imagine it would fall under the XL sizes. But since it was 50 cents and a great color, I brought it home anyway. I used my favorite little tool to punch some new holes in it.
Here is a totally random picture from 2003 that I took when I first got it to do costume stuff.

Then I was really excited to see my new shoes, the Hive and Honey ruffled pumps from Piperlime had arrived.
I tried them on, and more disappointment. I don't like the way my short stubby toes look in them, they are completely covered by the ruffles!

So they are going back. Sigh. Now which shall I choose...?
