and then my closet exploded

I'm sure it will not come as a surprise to anyone when I say, this has happened before. 

sometime back when I was in High School, we heard this loud crashing sound come from upstairs...and discovered that the bar in my closet had broken in half, and all the clothes were in a nice big pile.

fast forward, oh about 15 years later, to my new apartment...and this is what I found when I came home the other day:

of course this time I had put some heavy boxes up on the shelf...so lesson learned...boxes go on the floor :)

personal intervention...scarves

so we all know how much I love shoes, and now nail polish...but another one of my addictions that I only recently became aware of...is scarves...

when I lent a few to Jen for her trip to Philly for BMAC, I realized after they were on their way, how much I rely on my scarves to put outfits together...a plain shirt, paired with a multi-colored (and usually glittery) scarf becomes an outfit!  so I went into my closet, and pulled out *most* of my scarves to show you in this confession...

so if you are ever out shopping with me...and you see me with scarf in hand...remind me...that I have a problem :)

Pink VT?

I love Tech...VA that is...and they keep coming out with cute stuff on Victoria's Secret PINK college collection...which you can buy (for me??) here


















why don't I have tons of $??

tall people of the world, unite!

I'm tall...well tall-ish I guess I'd say...5 foot 8 or 9 depending on the leg on which I'm standing...

for years I had the constant struggle, pants that were always too short, and oh the shame of it :p then, it happened, they started to make pants for Petite, Regular and Tall heights! I think the first time I found a pair of 'tall' jeans, I hugged the sales person...(I wish I was kidding)...

but shirts were a problem too...I was always layering, and buying tank tops in larger sizes so they'd be long enough to cover everything...and then the trend started for longer tops...again very excited, but I think I refrained from hugging anyone :p

now, even better...I discovered something while browsing Old Navy.com the other day...they now make shirts in Tall! I have to contain my excitement, and I think they only sell the long shirts online...so perhaps I'll start saving my pennies and buy some of these fabulously long shirts...

it's a good day...a good day to be tall :)
