My Gnome Skirt


Yesterday, Ladan and I went shopping together in Park Slope and she found this very cute skirt that won accolades from me due to the fact that A. it was green, B. it had rick rack trim, C. it was an A-line shape which is my favorite and the most flattering to a girl with a big ass, and D. it had gnomes all over it with an embroidered mushroom patch stuck onto it. I mean, honestly, what was not to like, right? Oh, and it was on sale. I was digging its super kitchiness and it made me feel like I was wearing the movie Amelie, if that is possible. When I woke up today, and knew that it was a day that I was going to be at the Skillman, New Jersey campus, I decided to wear the gnome skirt. You know, as a way to inject some quirkiness into an otherwise corporate-y kind of day. It made me super happy to look down every so often and see that embroidered little mushroom — grounding me into my own reality, as it contrasted quite nicely against the boring gray industrial carpeting, in my peripheral vision.
