this is the only time i love the sun — when i’m at the beach. went with old co-workers and harry to a local beach resort last sunday to just unwind and hang out. there were good laughs and good food.
(i had this whole write-up prepared but my mood today just isn’t letting me want to talk too much)
just wanted to show you guys this skirt that we thrifted years back. it’s an original united colors of benetton vintage which still has a “made in italy” tag. most clothes (or stuff even) today are mostly made in china. not that i’m hating it…hehe. i wore this once to a company party 3 years ago and was awarded one of the best dressed for the night. wore the skirt as a dress and belted it. (don’t be shocked with how dark i am… i was still playing flag football then…haha!) damn, i miss my collarbones…and by arms… fast forward to 2010 and look what losing exercise can do to you…

Hello Gizelle!
Hello sunshine indeed! Love the pattern on that skirt of yours. I remember getting a pair of similar patterned pants from Benetton (most probable from the same season) years ago and just giving it away to the nearby Elsie Gaches Village because I just wasn't paying attention to it anymore. After seeing your fab skirt … I'm missing it again and kicking myself in the butt like anything!

Confession: I saw your comment on another blog and clicked on your profile just because I have always wanted to known someone called Gizelle.
