Thank you, Dwight Howard!
It hasn't been a great year to root against Philly sports teams, but now that the Sixers have been knocked out of the playoffs, all is right with the world again.

Procrastination & Suiting
Right now, I should be writing an essay on Kant's objections to the world state, but am just not feeling it. I will work on it ... later. After this post. After the study break. After I get some more coding done.
That being said, here are some of the things I've bought recently.
Was in desperate need of some more business casual for the internship this summer. And this isn't your grandmother's business casual, made up of equal parts business and casual. This would be more like two parts business to one part casual, with a dash of baller and a pinch of awesome. Or at least I'd prefer to hallucinate that last part. AC, VL, and JS helped me choose out this suit, with its pinstripes and two buttons.
Tahari by ASL Pinstripe Pant Suit (Navy/White)
I really like this. The two buttoned jacket was totally the right call, and it looks good both buttoned and unbuttoned. One thing that isn't immediately visible in the picture is how high the rise on the pants is. When they tell you there's a 14-inch rise, they're NOT KIDDING OK. The pants literally come up to the bottom of my rib cage, but that's completely alright. It's a built-in excuse never to tuck my shirt in!
When I wore it with the hammered silk tank (J Crew) and asked Mike what he thought, he told me I looked like a "feminazi." Yay, success? This also came after he told me I looked a) kind of weird, b) like I worked for the mob helping people into their concrete shoes, and c) like someone he would purchase flowers from (?!).
This next thing I've been lusting over for quite a while, but with a pre-sale price of $195, I never really thought it would happen. Was browsing the JCA Weekly Swap and there was someone selling it for $55, including shipping! I emailed them immediately, and have never looked back.
J Crew Wool flannel golden roses dress
When I showed JT this dress, his first comment was on how "oddly long" the model's legs were. Here's to hoping it has the same effect on me!
J Crew Marcella blouse
Got this for $20 off the Weekly Swap, mostly because of my antipathy towards tucking in shirts. This is considerably less saturated in color than the orange perfect fit t's, and is more of a pumpkin color. It's still orange, though! Can anyone say "new favorite color"?
