A Serious Case of Ballet Arms

3.25.2010

Yeah, total ballet arms. I have it ingrained in my memory or something… maybe it’s all those years I spent posing for formal dance photos?  Maybe I should do an actual ballet series or something and try to ballet myself out for a while? 

It was supposed to rain today but didn’t.  It was cloudy but still oddly bright, maybe with jut a hint of sun in the late afternoon?  I’d rather have sun!  I saw immature [vs. mature] today and met her lovely boyfriend.  She brought me a green St. Patrick’s Day cupcake last week with Lucky Charms on top!  It was delicious, but this week we opted for Vegan Treats before dinner. 

I’ve seen a lot of tights and shoes matching lately (mostly on What I Wore) and decided to give it a go.  It would be even more interesting to have tights, shoes, and skirt/shorts/whatever matching but I don’t have any bottoms that are this particular shade of pink. 

Here’s one more, I took it outside of work.  Some cars were going past on the road behind me and probably thought I was some crazy in pink tights.  There’s a nice big tree to be my background… however the grass is so tall that I have no feet!  This is what I look like fully dressed in outerwear and accessories with my big obnoxious pink trench coat and big obnoxious bag.  It’s how I would look if you ran into me at Starbucks or Barnes and Noble or somewhere.  But not Forever 21 — it’s a no coat sauna zone in there!

I’ve had this coat forever, which means since I was sixteen.  It still fits for the most part.  I had it tailored in at the sides to fit me better, and the sleeves shortened (they used to entirely cover my hands), but I can’t button it over my chest any more without it looking idiotic/too strained.  I’m not so sure that losing weight would help that either.  I’ve also had this scarf for a long time and it’s one of my favorites although I don’t wear it during the winter too often.  My winter coats are plaid, red, and purple and the hot pink tends to be a little difficult to wear with those colors.  But it goes very nicely with this pink coat!
