Ride the Dragon

This post title won't make any sense until you scroll down.  One of my neighbors has this cheesy dragon statue in their yard (or maybe it's the Loch Ness monster?  I don't know...)  I've been contemplating getting a photo with it for a while and finally worked up the nerve to do it.  I got some mighty strange looks from people driving by...

Onto the clothes! I liked the combination of the bright colors and different patterns I had going on today.  Any time I mix patterns I have to have something plain in between.  Maybe one of these days I'll graduate to pattern on pattern, but I'm taking baby steps here.

Denim Jacket

New item:  denim jacket.  I don't think I've had one of these since elementary school.  I've seen lots of bloggers making them look cute, so I decided I needed to try one out in my wardrobe.  I think they look best with skirts or dresses, which are probably the things I wear least.  I have been meaning to work on that though...

Sassy Skirt

I read on another blog somewhere that Asos.com had started shipping to the US with free shipping both ways, so immediately had to go check it out.  They have so many clothes it is hard to pick just a few.  I ordered some things, and ended up returning a few of them, but it was so easy!

This skirt is one of the things I kept.  The pattern is a little more loud than I am used to, but I have decided that I need a little more of that in my closet.  Plus, it has a fun side-kick gather.  The day I wore it I got many compliments, and was told that I looked "sassy".
