Keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters

Today's post title is brought to you by the fact that I'm doing a "Best of The Shins" hour at work using blip.fm. The two other 'creatives' I sit with at work and I decided to take turns playing DJ in one hour chunks throughout the day. We had a "Bob Morning" a couple mornings ago- Amy played an hour of Bob Seger, Guillermo played an hour of Bob Marley, and I played an hour of Bob Dylan. Eclectic mix, no? Spices things up a bit.

Speaking of spice, this skirt!

I love the color, which happens to match my fave j. crew socks just swimmingly. And how stinking cool are these scalloped pockets?! I'm obsessed with them. Hands go in and out of the pockets all day, and fiddle with the scallops...

Amy took these pictures, and I love how bright and ethereal they turned out! Great work, Ames!

Also: I got a new ring! It's a sparkly amoebic thing, and it certainly makes life a little more fun. I got it at Banana Republic, which I love but normally stay away from, on account of their prices being a little out of my set budget range; BUT they're having a huge sale! Seriously huge: when I went, all sale merch was an additional 50% off. This ring was normally $32 and I paid $4.50. Four.Fifty. A word about me: I love me some deals. !!

Still working away on the splits....anyone else have any tips for me? I'm working toward doing the "middle splits" first, and then the "side splits" (sorry; unsure about the 'correct' terms for those). Thanks again, Dayna, for the tip to stretch in the morning- just wish I were more of a morning person! :/

Enjoy your Wednesday!
