Okeydokey, so here’s how I write an outfit post.
Phase 1: Wear the outfit.
Phase 2: ?????
Phase 3: Profit!
Okay, not really. But that profit part sure would be nice.
It’s more like this…
Phase 1: Wear the outfit. Get my Gorillapod or my husband, D, to take a photograph. Preferably at the beginning of the day, before all of my makeup slides off my face and I get mayonnaise stains on my skirt.
This never happens rarely.
Phase 2: Wait forever for my ancient computer to upload the photos, choose the best ones, crop them, etc.
Phase 3: Open up TPY and write a nonsense sentence, because I’ve forgotten what I want to say about the outfit. Post outfit photo. Search TPY tags (e.g.: gap, aerosoles) for items I’m wearing. Copy and paste descriptions and links to the last time I wore the item. Post accessory photos.
Phase 4: Have something to say. Say it. Hopefully remember to change that first sentence. Take off outfit. Put on old pajamas and zit cream. Sleep. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I know, I know. It’s all so impossibly glamorous. But don’t worry, I haven’t let my fabulous lifestyle go to my head! I still put my dresses on one armhole at a time.

I’m 5′2″, and I measure 32D-29-35. First off, finding a 32D bra was like finding the damned holy grail for awhile, and then I discovered that there’s a lovely lingerie boutique in my town that carries just nearly everything. Including 32D. So that’s one problem solved.
I am extremely high-wasited. I have an 18-inch torso, and while I can find shirts in petite that fit my waist, they don’t usually comfortably fit my bust. I’m either about to bust free [pardon the pun], or my shirts look sloppy because they’re a size too big.
And because of my high-wasited set-up, I have a 30-inch inseam. If I want slacks that fit me properly and aren’t too short or too long, I have to find women’s pants with a 30-inch inseam. But not only do they need to have the inseam, they also need to comfortably fit my waist and hips. This leads to the silent dressing room scream. Because belts fit me weird as well, so I can’t use them for cover up.
So, those are mine.
And I totally posted this on the wrong entry. Crappers. I’m gonna move it.
