a mostly ballroom dance, but also a bunch of other stuff, blog

about

I own and rock people’s faces off teaching ballroom dancing at Dancers Studio in St. Paul, MN. My husband and I compete professionally in American style and wrangle eight children in our spare time. I’ve been teaching and competing in ballroom dancing for over 25 years and have lots of opinions on it. I am an expert by any means, but there are quite a few dancers who are better than me and I have a solid knowledge of basic technique, so suck it.

Sunday Special – Back of the Closet

March 24, 2013

This skirt has been taunting me from the back of my closet for years. YEARS. A simple, black pencil skirt with a geometric, vertical ruffle over one leg. None of my shirts seemed to pull it together, let alone ANY OF THE SHIRTS EVER MADE.

Today I said, "Screw you, skirt" (except with fouler language; happy Sunday!) and threw on all the clothes that confound me (yet I still own).

PUT ON ALL THE CLOTHES!

LOOK AT YOUR SHINY SHOES!

POWER CLASHING!

FANCY BRAID BUN!

I'll stop yelling now.

Clothes stuff:

earrings – from me ma
scarf – Wal-mart. What.
sweater – Target
blouse – Karma Boutique in St. Paul
skirt – Express a million years ago
shoes – DSW? (gift from The G)
belt – came with a dress from a million years ago

Have a great week!

You silly git – there is NO REASON for that skirt to taunt you!
All you have to do is go to the Twin cities Magic & Costume Co. (http://www.twincitiesmagic.com/) to get the matching pirate top, bandana, and sword.
How couldn’t you recognize that was a playful pirate skirt?
