I’d like to share my new mantra with y’all.  Ironically there isn’t even a smirk in the pics, but trust that I’m smiling on the inside.

The blog has been a yawn fest so I decided to take a little field trip.  Moustache Man came along for the adventure and green tea chai.  It tastes like liquid green tea ice cream.

I wish I could have gone to Marfa with the BuyDefinition gals, but alas.  I will live vicariously through Marfa Lites.

My friend, H has always been really supportive of EXTRASKINNY.  So when she suggested a collaborative project, I was ecstatic.  Here is one of two Mike & Chris dresses she lent me to pull together a look.  I used layers, but sparingly so that I could show off the cool skirt shape.  I’m not sure if the outfit is her style, but hope she likes it nonetheless!

Moustache Man and I are moving out in a week, so I’ve been a bit distracted.  Packing and unpacking is the pits, but I want to get it over with so we can finally get settled!

I’ve been distracted for the past few weeks looking for a new place to live.  Well, guess what?  Moustache Man and I begrudgingly trekked to the zillionth apartment today and  it’s THE one!  Everything just fell into place: we knew immediately when we walked in the door, the landlord loved us (or rather just MM) and we got approved the same day.  It is such a  relief to know where we’re going at the end of the month.  I’ll be a bit antsy until we get settled, but we are homeless no more!

This is the second time I’ve belted my Rachel Comey top.  Here’s the first.  I think it flows quite nicely over my high-waisted booty shorts (whilst hiding some of the booty).  The browns of my belt and boots don’t match, but surprisingly I don’t mind.  What about you?

When I yawn, I let it all out.  Why hold back when it can be known to everyone how thoroughly bored you are?  But I tricked you.  I’m not bored in this picture, I’m nervous.  It’s a condition called agoraphobia and both Moustache Man and I are coping with it.  Weird thing about this dress.  It’s a vintage find from Popkiller, but I saw a girl wearing the same dress on a phone commercial.  Even more weird, she looked like me.  I don’t mean because we’re both Asian, but because we really looked alike.  Hmmm, I wonder how much commercials      pay . . . I bet I could buy some fancy cupcakes with that cash.

This VPL hobble skirt seriously deters me from walking in normal increments.  I don’t know how ladies back in the day got anywhere on time without being carried around.  I wouldn’t mind that actually.  I recently crept around with Moustache Man to get some moody pics.  Nighttime photos are a bit tricky because of the light.  Moustache Man doesn’t like flat light because he says it looks like he’s been using the flash.  “What’s wrong with using the flash?” I asked.  He didn’t even dignify me with an answer.  I guess I’m just a simple-minded snacker.  Doughnuts anyone?
