black coffee

So, I went through this phase in high school where I thought I was a hippie.  Looking back, consciously entering that stage was probably the single worst decision I've made in my life.  (Okay, maybe I exaggerate, but it was really bad).  So it's no wonder that when my mom brought home this lovely skirt she found at a garage sale, I paled a bit at the memory of that year of poor choices.

But, I tried it on somewhat reluctantly while I was fretting over what to wear that day, and lo! it was glorious.

I don't know what it is, but I just adore the fit.  It's a wrap skirt, and I think I may make a pattern from it and make one or two of my own in less...earthy fabrics.  The embroidery is really pretty, though, and I love Indian textiles.  It came with a top, but it's a backless halter, and I just can't hack that.

A better look at the embroidery and a peek at how I take my photos.  Remote shutter FTW!

I suppose that's about all for tonight, internet.  I need to get some rest - this is WAY past my bed time!
