But I
have figured out The Secret. Yes, that one. The one on which the only-recently-fallen empire waist...well,
empire... was founded, and that only fell because people got sick of looking semi-pregnant. And now, two years behind everyone else who's ever worn clothing made of something more sophisticated than fig leaves, I know this secret: High waists.
They make your tits look bigger.
Now, I actually found this out by accident this morning while I was getting dressed. I had put on a a longish skirt, whose hem I wanted to raise so that my new
skeleton socks were a little more visible (do I actually think like this?). And, just as an experiment, the kind you'd never try out unless
you were all alone with the mirror your roommate was very fast asleep, I sort of...pulled it up. And.... well, I belted it. And
bang! Where did
you come from? I don't know what kind of optical-perspective-illusion-THING this is, but I shall definitely treat it with care in the future. I feel like there's a reason I didn't get the memo about this when it first started happening...no matter. I don't like to be in current style anyway. So, yeah, I kind of loved what I wore today - so much that I didn't even change it between classes. Crazy.
(Credit for these two goes to my neighbour again)
But this post was actually meant to be ALL about my legs. I know, right? I always thought of myself as a semi-serious writer... but I get too
excited about tights to let these past you. So, maybe not
my legs, but the way I present them to the world...or some other pretentious bullshit like that.
I like clothes, so get over it and then I'll talk politics with you. It doesn't make me a ditz. I
adore tights and an early birthday present I ordered myself from
Sock Dreams (I couldn't think of another excuse) arrived yesterday. There's difinitely a theme to what was in the package, but I plan to wear these all year:
The photos of the
stripey tights and the
spiderweb fishnets are from the SockDreams web site...haven't worn them yet but I can't wait. But I took these:
I think they're my new favourites. They come to just above my knees, but I'm quite tall. These all shipped for free, by the way. So go get some. I was everyone's favourite Leah today at school (I really hope I did okay on that math test....and there's a chemistry exam tomorrow! Eeek!) and had loads of fun - several people sort of looked at me like I had three heads when I told them I ordered
socks online.
Not a great day for food - dinner was pretzels and goats' cheese, but I've got a Plan. It involves pancetta. I will keep you posted. And I've got some other news that I don't have time to go into right now - they're about to switch off the internet - so don't let me forget to tell you what I'm official photographer for.
Good night!
