When I saw this skirt on Annie of The Other Side of Gray I fell out of my chair.  The falling had nothing to do with the skirt, I'm just clumsy.  This skirt is just awesome.  It's tweed.  It's the perfect shade of lime.  It's the perfect length between pencil and mini.  However, it was sold out online (and out of my budget range at $128).  But then, as I was perusing the J. Crew clearance rack at the mall, I came upon one last lime green tween skirt in my size.  It had  no tags, so I assumed it was just placed on the rack by a lazy customer coming out of the dressing room.  I brought it to the register, just to see how much it was.  And then I started to panic.  I hate not buying something after I make the cashier look up the price for me.  I know, I am a weird social freak.  Anyways, as I was panicking about how I was going to nonchalantly leave the store after the cashier told me the skirt cost as much as my monthly grocery bill.  But, then a miracle happened, the skirt rang up $30 after the 50% off sale items.  I think my own personal little J. Crew elf left the skirt for me.

And oh wait...I also wore some faux leather.  I'm just a fashion glutton.  I've also been a food glutton the past few days weeks.  My absence from the blog world is due to my attendance at 4 (wait, 5?) Christmas celebrations.  I have a big family...and we like to celebrate stuff.  So, I've been eating my weight daily in mashed potatoes and cookies.  As of January 2nd, I am going to quit that behavior.  I only have a few more days of absurd gluttony.  I must bask in it.
