Sizing issues?


sizing issues?, originally uploaded by Cohabitating_Closet.

Anne convinced me that green and purple is a great color combination. I agree. I also like green and brown, but I'll try that another time.
I really liked this skirt, but now trying it on at home, I think it might be a smidge to small. But the medium was just significantly too big. Plus this size gapped at the waist. I guess this was meant for someone a bit more columnar shaped. I wanted to wear something more springy but since it's 45 degrees today, I'll keep that for another day.
Does it look noticeably too small? It shows some bum shape on the bag, and I can tell if I look down that there is some tummy clinging (I do have a tummy. I like it but not when a skirt clings to it in a weird way).


Thanks again for your thoughts about my phantom skirt. Someone said on the Flickr page that "Blade Runner" was a big 1980s does the 1940s cultural moment. I wonder if that spurred trends or reflected trends? I also got a lot of compliments on the sleeves so I am thinking I may just keep them on.
In somewhat style related news, Blokey was rough housing a bit vigorously with Lula, and when I woke up from a too long nap yesterday, he had a diagonal scar across this right cheekbone. He's all worried about a scar, although I told him that the Inigo Montoya look is very hot. He seemed displeased with this statement.


Have a happy Wednesday! I am intensely jealous of my prof friends who are almost done with the semester. I have 4 class days after today. I need to just finish this with a modicum of dignity.
