I remember a teacher dramatically sending me to the principal's office in sixth grade for wearing a skirt that was deemed too short. Although I embarrass easily, I continued to have run-ins with the principal throughout my education for the same offense. If colleges had dress codes, I would probably have really racked up the detentions by now.
I tell myself that because I am short I can pull off short. Whether this is true or not, I love minis.
Mini minis. And as much as I also love Anthropologie, their dresses and skirts are usually too long (or, um, tasteful?) for me.
These two, however, are perfect. Lace and polka dots and ruffles, oh my! Like my Liberty of London dress that went from dowdy to adorable with just a pair of sewing scissors, I could chop the bottom layer off and take this
dress and
skirt to... new heights.
Because all of the entries were equally funny and so fabulous, I ended up using a random number generator to narrow down the winner of the Meg Cabot contest.
Congratulations, Tania! I can't wait to see what you end up buying at Zappos!
Even though my logical almost-adult mind is never fooled, J. Crew's final sales tempt me every single time. The shipping is always super pricey, and I usually fall for things I don't need, but regardless, I keep coming back for more.
I needed a new pair of flip flops, since my last ones were left on the cruise, and I wasn't about to spend ten dollars to ship a single pair of sandals. Another item was obviously necessary.
So that's how I ended up with the pretty crystal flower necklace, marked down more than half its original price. I wish I had bought these other two baubles and a bottle of mint candy apple Essie polish, too, but there's always next time.
