the long of it

I've decided that I don't like maxi dresses. Sure, I might feel like a total badass stomping around campus in a shapeless, sexless, unflatteringly long piece of fabric that is kind of sort of completely not what the other girls are wearing and is kind of sort of definitely more "fuck you I want to feel like I'm going to go hike up my skirts and shuck corn and then have a quilting bee" than cute, but the real issue is that I actually found the huge amount of fabric cumbersome, especially because I was lugging my laptop around all day.

But there's a first time for everything.
