Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend

I've been trying to cut back on computer time for the last week... could you tell? I thought it would help me to "get more things done", but I have still managed to sidetrack myself with other things. Usually in a day I like to do nothing at all, so it's become a matter of choice to avoid all things productive rather than simply being distracted. It's my state of mind, can't really help it... do I still have to say sorry for not posting? OK OK I'll say it: I'm sorry.

I wanted to quickly show off this skater skirt + bloomers combo that I made a few weeks back. I've been wanting to make some bloomers for the loooongest time, and I love the way mine turned out. I love it when babies and toddlers wear their cute little dresses with matching bloomers over their diapers, espesh with lots of frills and lace and ruffles! Squeee! Can't help myself, I just love it too much. So although I'm no longer in the age bracket of 1-4, I figured it would still be okay to rock this combo myself... feel free to let me know if you disagree and tell me that I've totally lost it. I AM aware that I'm not in kindergarten, but still... can't resist!

Whatevs, I'll just say I'm a Lolita and wearing this kind of thing would be completely acceptable. Am I right? Ahh, I love how fashion forgives the insane.

I made the skirt and bloomers out of a sheet that my mom was using to PROTECT THE CARPET WHILE PAINTING! C'mon, wayyy to nice to use as a rag! I mean, I really only like florals when they're quite small and dainty and this was the PERFECT print that I had in mind for my skirt. I asked my mom if I could have because I reeeeally liked it, and she almost wouldn't give it to me! "Well, I'm using it for painting"... seriously? You could use any old ugly sheet but still I can't have this one? One that I'll turn into something usefull and beautiful? Umm, no. In the end I won and got the sheet, obviously, although there are a few paint spills on my new skirt that I hope no one will notice...
