in which i play mint tetris

Last Easter Week I was graced with marvelously cloudy days, threatening April showers.  Not so this time around.  Also, it is frigid.  Don't let the big bad sun fool you--I was quite chilly (and the wind didn't help)!

(skirt/blouse/hat: thrifted; shoes: seychelles)

This skirt was another Goodwill find.  I am having a bit of a love affair with pleats (even if it is mostly from afar), and the mint print immediately caught my eye, so I had to have it.  It reminds me of tetris.  I was never really into tetris (back in the day I used to play marathon games of some dropping gem game--I think you had to find three or more in a row and click quickly, or something equally mind-numbing), but there was never much tetris in my life.  I do love puzzles, though.  And mixing prints!

Today is Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry's, which reminds me--I need to start on my next summer dress!  I just need to sew the bottom hem on my first dress and it will be finished (!!), and then I can start the new one.  Sometimes I love finishing projects just because it means I'm free to start another one (when I finished the first draft of my novel I immediately started writing another... maybe sometimes I'm a little overeager).

  1. Haha, I think starting another is probably a better idea than sitting doing 7 drafts like I'm doing. I like the new skirt (is this one of the impractical midis you were talking about)? And I love the blouse!
