listersgirlLast night I coerced ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sarcasma into going shopping for spring clothes with me. I really hate shopping (and am quite bad at it), but it can be fun with other people. Sometimes. ANYWAY, I was looking for cute spring skirts and dresses.
Dresses I had no luck with -- I am too short-waisted for the style of dress that is all over H&M right now, and apparently Old Navy dresses were built for prepubescent girls, because there was no containing my breasts (which, seriously, are not that big, so I can't imagine how most people would fit). Right now I wish I lived in the same city as my parents so I could teach myself to make very simple dresses on my mom's sewing machine.
But I bought a bunch of spring skirts at H&M, in a continuum of obnoxiousness from black linen to diagonal and horizontal stripes in 7 or 8 different bright colours. I don't know what I'm going to wear with that one, but with that many colours, I must have something that goes.
Today's middle-of-the-continuum spring skirt (worn despite the fact that it's snowing, yeesh) is knee-length, a-line, dark brown with white and chartreuse patterns all over it that look like wood-block prints of tree branches with blossoms. Or something like that. However, someone complimented me on my springlike skirt, so clearly it's doing the job!
