Pretty in Purple (plus slightly crippled)

Quick question: why are there so many names for purple? Mauve. Violet. Indigo. Burgundy.  (yes I know I cheated on some of those... but still...)


Next question:  Who noticed that slightly life-threatening fire destroying the mountain up in Alpine?  (google it if not.)  Please keep the people up there in your prayers.  Already groups of my friends have been evacuated, and the winds are supposed to change drastically tonight so who knows what will still be standing in the morning.

Now before I go on, please notice the ugly bandages in the photos below.  Not socks, bandages. (though I did draw a Nike swoosh on one for tennis today...)   No, I do not know how to spell it, let alone pronounce it.  I couldn't even tell my coaches what was wrong with me today.  I just pointed and told them it hurt.  And that I wasn't faking to get out of conditioning (although I wasn't going to turn that down).  But anyways I get to wear these lovely semi-permanent wraps all WEEK!! What does this mean? Trying to bathe (not shower) with my legs out of the tub.  Getting a simply fantastic tanline from playing outside with these. And much, much more.  So yes, now that we've gotten that out of the way.... here's my newest outfit.

This week I tried something new.  Purple....

I picked up this skirt at the Park City J.Crew Factory outlet... for like $29. (no joke, i was a happy girl). Plus it's length is so great!! It comes to right below the knees, but the fullness and cut of the skirt make you feel like Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday, not a polygamist.  As a bonus, there are pockets.  Pockets are always a bonus.  And of course there was my all time favorite hair style, the sock bun.   I was seemingly the last of all the freshman girls to figure out this lovely little trick, but it was worth it.  Just to clarify, yes, there is a sock in that bun.  I accented the outfit with gold earring from Nordstrom Rack ($8!! Single digits!!) and gold flips to accomodate my flexible casts.


That's all for tonight.  I'm going to go stare out my window at the smoke engulfing the mountains.


Ta ta for now.
