I've been completely obsessed with the Dries Van Noten Fall 2010 collection for an unhealthy number of months, so when it came time to select a few pieces for Fall and Winter, I found myself gravitating towards military, khaki, and skirts with hemlines that dropped below the knee. One of the items I selected was this washed-out olive-y skirt. And how nifty is it? The length is magical (meaning it hides, what I believe, the ugliest part of the female body, including mine--KNEES!) and the massive pockets are the closest I've come to wearing cargo pants in skirt form. I can easily hide some change, my cellphone, sunnies and a couple of snacks for the road. These are all very good things.
In other news, I've been mocking up some redesigns for this site and have decided on one. It'll be coded up in no time. It's a cleaner and classier aesthetic that I hope you'll enjoy. In terms of content, I'm pushing to update more, not specifically outfit posts (I'm feeling a bit 'been-there-done-that' with those), but with design projects, general inspiration, and tutorials. Trust me, you don't want to see more outfit posts with my mug. They'll end up something like this: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (when I'm feeling especially audacious). FUN.

glad you're back, though i wish you'd credit your items (so that when you say "vintage top, vintage skirt") i can shake my fist in the air out of frustration that i can't obtain the same.
now you have me ultra-conscious about my knees. which i don't love either, but now i'm thinking about them...
hope ur doing welllll :)

jungle-themed scrubs, roar!
i totally forgot crediting my items. unfortunately, the sunnies and the blouse are both vintage finds. the skirt, however, is h&m.
sorry about the knee thing :/ i just had to say, because mine feel bashful from time to time. ankles are tricky, too, but don't get me started...
I hate my knees too, well not a big fan of my legs in general really haha.

I don't think knees are that bad, I think their cousin, feet, might give knees a very good run for their money at times.
All I do at work is look at people's knees, feet, hands etc, and knees are so sleek and organised!! But there's some crazy feet out there!
The sleeves of your blouse is aesome!!
Looking forward to your new post!
Can't wait to see the changes!
