midas is king and he holds me so tight and turns me to gold in the sunlight

Today, I exercised my right as a woman to wear pants, which I rarely do. Pants feel weird. It was probably the fact that the pant legs were about a foot longer than they should be and I had to hoist them up with pins before I could wear them, but they still don't feel normal. But I quite liked the look of them.

to play or frolic boisterously

I hate the word 'romp'. (I think because it reminds me of the word rump, which I dislike even more.) So the word 'romper' isn't much better. A small suit that you wear to take part in romps? I would never wear this in a romp. If I would play and frolic boisterously in this, the shorts or straps would get ripped and the included belt would surely fall off. I'd like to keep this romper out of any kind of romp. It was purchased on a spankin' sale.

swarming

Mosquitoes are the worst thing that has ever happened to this world. At any given moment, there are 4 or 5 swarming around me, sucking my blood and flesh (sorry I'm gross). 2 or 3 sit on my camera (?), thinking they might get some food out of that. My legs and arms are quickly becoming entirely spots and it's not the best look. Why I've spent 4 lines talking about mosquitoes? No one may ever know. I like this top. It's soft.

This dress fills me with delight, joy, merriment, and glee. In fact, this whole outfit does. It was bought in Austin, which is quickly becoming the original home for more than half of my current wardrobe. Anyways, I'm anticipating wearing this nearly every day. Woop de doo!

flailing to the whir of a snack machine

Why did I feel so hillbilly/cowgirl/1998 Britney Spears today? I quite love this shirt, and I decided to tie it in a manner of the ladies above for probably the first time in my life. I think I like it. As with the white blazer, it upsets me that I can't wear this fantastic shirt all summer (It's supposed to be 105 degrees on Saturday. Sweet.)

the crafty smoke that made us choke

I'm seriously having trouble with the notion of what to wear now that the temperature is consistently 95 degrees every day, and this is only the first few days of summer. Oy vey. Anyways, I finally got hold of a white blazer (my mom's, but no matter) and I LOVE it. I hope I have the tolerance to wear it in 105 degree heat, but that likelihood looks very negative.

in this way mr. k will challenge the world

Strange but delightful combination I wore for Mother's Day dinner, which could essentially be described as a mild transformation of my grandmother. She received a nice little pair of TOMS shoes, a new hairstyle courtesy of my sister, and something else that I really can't remember right now. She was very excited.

jabberwock cryptogram

Yesterday was spent at an amusement park in the rain. It could also be categorized as a monsoon, torrential downpour, or mild flood. There was a lot of rain. Everyone at the entire park decided to go to the nearest grease-ridden, hamburger and chili fry-stenched, claustrophobic restaurant and it was quite a miserable, wet 2 and a half hours before we could go back to school. All for the sake of physics. That's my tale, having nothing to do with this outfit.
