the return of the pencil skirt

Is it weird that every time I hear the phrase "the return of the..." I automatically think "King" or "Jedi"?

But that's neither here nor there.

What is here, guys, is a pencil skirt -- which has not been on my bottom half (or any other half of me, come to think of it) since early April. I had forgotten how much I missed my pencil skirts, and it was a joyous reunion, especially since it heralded in the fact that I am now getting back to my old, healthier size.

So in celebration, I ate an entire cake.

Just kidding.

OR AM I?

Yeah, I am.

This picture totally happened. Lisa, are you looking to do another outtakes post soon? Haha!




Also, have you noticed my new wall decor? I finally decided to get some art prints I bought ages ago framed and now we're going to be slowly adding to this collection. I already have a gorgeous illustration from Rachel I need to print and frame as well. It'll be exciting to watch the collection grow!

    Oh don't you worry, outtakes are going to making a comeback soon, bwaha ...

    I don't know what I love more, the skinny belt with the pencil skirt, or your wall art. I am so serious when I say that I don't have a decorating bone in my body, it is kind of miserable to see my empty walls - but maybe I'll just come off as "modern".

    I love the new wall art. My eyes totally went to that, after taking in that pretty, purple pencil skirt first.

    Glad to see you back in action and whenever I see the return of, I think Jedi too.

    Thank you for the warm welcomes, ladies! ^^ You're all too kind!

    Bar Chic -- The Gotham print is by Justin Van Genderen. Boyfriend and I are both big Batman fans, so I knew it would be a perfect addition to our home! I also got Boyfriend the awesome (or should I say FANTASTIC?) Fantastic Four print as well -- just need to get it framed! Here's a link to his site: http://www.2046design.com/
