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.

  1. That skirt looks perfect! Not too small at all ... but if it feels wrong, that overrides.

  2. I think the skirt looks just as great today as it did on Saturday. I love it with tights and heels :) It doesn't look too small to me. Is it uncomfortable?

    I always worry about scars and bruises from Jude too - one time I thought he broke my nose, so I was expecting my entire face to be purple (readers: Jude is my dog, not an abusive boyfriend or anything like that). Vitamin E oil is supposed to help scars heal better, and the other thing is to make sure that while there is a visible scar, it doesn't get sunburnt. That pretty much guarantees that it won't go away.

  7. Love the shape and colour of this skirt and it looks great on you, especially with the purple tights.

    The Vampire Cat also gets rambunctious and he has opened veins many times on me but I don't have any battle scars. Anne and Anon have the right idea. But I also agree with you about Inigo Montoya.
