Dog Toddlers: Floral Print Pencil Skirt, White Ruffled Tank Top And Converse

     There are a couple of reasons that I always write my posts the night before. Primarily, it’s a time issue. Especially during the school year, I just don’t have enough time in the morning. Also, my cutting edge wit isn’t fully functioning until at least 9:00 a.m. I need a warm-up period for my sarcasm to reach full potency. Keep that in mind if you ever want to engage me in verbal battle; hit me before nine and you win, hands down.
     One more reason that is in tight competition with the time thing is that in the morning my dogs are like a room full of preschoolers who just snorted cotton candy and bobbed for cookies in a punch bowl full of Kool-aid. They are out of their freakin’ minds. Maybe it’s because they’ve gone without direct human attention (because sleeping wedged against my butt doesn’t count to them) for many hours and they feel the need to overcompensate to gain my focus. I don’t know what reasons are cookin’ around in their furry little brains. In any case if the bullie and the pugabull aren’t brawling with the sheltie barking in circles around them, then they are pawing the crap out of my legs and attempting to crawl into my lap. All of this while the minpin is standing next to me whining repeatedly in a tone that makes my ears bleed and a stare that would turn me to stone if I looked directly into her eyes. I know. Then why do I have four dogs? Because I love them and would be lost without them. And because if it weren’t for their hair all over everything I couldn’t claim to own a fur coat. But just like human kids there are times where I just want to tell them to go to their grandmother’s house. For a week. Or two. I swear every one of them thinks the words “Damn it…” are part of their names (as in “Damn it Bawb!”).
     This is one of my “work skirts” that I decided needed a good dressing down. Hence the white tank top and Converse. A lot of my clothing is dual purpose, neither work clothes nor real world clothes, they go back and forth between the two. But some of my things are categorized in my head as specifically one or the other. This skirt happens to fall under the work category so I figured I’d broaden my horizons a little and wear it in the real world.

OMG! I’ve got a skirt almost identical to yours. Only, of course, it looks better on you. Are you trying to make me jealous?! 🙂

Thanks Kim! I buy a lot of them on daily deal sites like jane.com and sassysteals.com. That’s why I don’t usually have a link. If I purchased one somewhere that you can still get it I do.

Ha! My parents had 5 cats at one point, which was a little crazy, but in a lazy rather quiet kind of way! I can’t imagine 4 dogs! Plus, I’m just loving the converse trend this summer!!

I love the cute skirt, such a pretty floral print! I am a sucker for florals. I always think it wouldnt be too bad to be a dog, they eat, sleep, take a walk, and go out to fun places with us. They sleep in our bed too, curled up and my boy has me trained well!
The white top looks pretty with the floral and love how your paired it with converse! Have a great day Deb

We really do have so much in common, Debbie! Teens whisperers … rockers gals from back in the day … and now dog lovers too! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats! Everything I own is covered in fur. And they’re all very high maintenance because they’re all spoiled rotten! When does school start for you? I go back next week. Can’t remember how I used to have time for teaching and blogging, but I did it somehow. (Though certainly don’t get around to posting as often as you do!)

We have an inservice day the last week of August and school officially starts the day after Labor Day. Too bad we live far away from each other…we’d have a blast hanging out! 🙂
