Dear Dairy,
So, in my last entry, I was all earth and hearth,
trying to be the perfect homemaker right? Well, all that’s over now! Yes, I wanted
a makeover for my apartment this month because I grew up enduring my mum’s annual
redecoration tradition (you’ll never really know how these things seep right
into the very fabric of your being, until you catch yourself doing those same
things no matter how much you loathed them while growing up; parents had better
be careful about what they do around their kids). So I only got as far as the wallpapers,
furniture fittings and covers, sheets and drapes, a cozy carpet, and a few wall
frames and light fixtures (what?! So what’s left? Oh yes, I remember, I stopped
short right where I began to consider bouquets and garlands).
Having totally spent the homemaker in me
(she probably wouldn’t be making any more appearances till next year),
I have moved on to my next obsession: the perfect skirt! Yes, I know this is very strange as I’m not really a skirt person (give me a fetching dress, or good pair of pants and the right heels, and watch me take over the world!).

My recent obsession with skirts, and not
just any skirts, but all variations of skater skirts, sprouted from a purely innocent
activity; a family vacation. Knowing the kind of family I have, my Christmas vacation
closet was made up of as many skater skirts as I could find (sufficient room to
hide the inevitable weight I’d gain); and then, I ended of falling in love with
the skirts!
For the next few weeks, a great portion of
my time would be dedicated to designing and making skater skirts of all
variations; and I’m super excited by this project. Below are some of my
inspiration. Off course, I already stalk Eleonora Sebastiani (@eleosabastiani
on IG); she’s the queen of skater skirts (and dresses too), and one of my
current woman crushes...
P.S, two lifesaving rules for family
vacations (especially in winter):
1) Shop for roomy
clothes
2) Don’t go on a diet
before; save it for after (because you’ll need it, and that’s a promise)
