A Black Belt In Awkward

Blouse: Thrifted
Shorts: Vintage; will be added to the shop Thursday
Bag: Coach via eBay
Oxfords: Steve Madden
Foundation: Ivory; on legs only.

I often blame my ever bruised legs on my pale skin, being clumsy, competitive thrifting, or any combination of the three. People who don't know me (at ALL) might even think I am involved in contact sports. Then there are times like these when my newly formed calf bruise can only be the result of fake karate kicking the boy, and having my leg land hard on a doorknob. I'm practically a ninja when it comes to fake karate.

It's points for not falling on my as* Monday,

  2. I hear ya. Maybe it's in the name (I'm Robin too) cause my legs always look like I am involved in something top secret or something. I love your shorts though! They are adorable!

  12. Ha! What the... I'm picturing you fake karate kicking anyone. Well, your look today is way too wonderful to even notice the bruise on the side of your calf in the last picture ;) I adore the gingham shorts and the color paired with the buttery, flowy blouse. Where ever you take your photos it always looks like it's in the mid 70's and spring!
