LJ doesn't want me to express myself; also, I attempt to end a horrifying trend by joining in.

It's Friday night! And I'm more than a little excited about staying home and catching up on Missing. (Last weekend had enough fun to last for a few weeks.)

My extra LJ userpics have expired. *sigh* I still have several weeks left on my paid account--which I will definitely renew--but I can't decide about the userpics.

Change of topic: I haven't talked about clothes in ages. How many times have I ranted about skinny jeans and tunic tops? Well, I'm trying a new tactic: wear them myself in an attempt to bring an end to the look. (Because teenagers seeing their un-cool teacher wearing clothes like theirs should definitely bring about a change, don't you think?)





I still don't think skinny jeans are the most flattering look for me, and tunic tops are hit or miss--it depends on the cut. This one isn't bad, although like the jeans, there are definitely more flattering styles out there for me for everyone. *shrugs* So... we'll see if I have managed to bring about the end of Western civilization stop this whole skinny jeans trend by owning and wearing a pair.

PS (or should that be PP--post post): this is the casually chic 'end of the workday' wrinkled look. ;-P

Heh, I've always envied how comfy tunic tops look to wear, but they sadly don't work for me. Skinny jeans though are the least flattering on everyone I know, good luck!

That's one of the few tunic tops that didn't look terrible on me. Frankly I don't think they look that good on most people; too easy to have that faux pregnancy look.
