Let it be known that this is living proof that I actually wear something other than dresses sometimes.  :)  The weather's getting really cold these days, so I thought it was high time that I wear these plaid taffeta trousers.  They've been sitting in my closet since the spring, I think (I got both of these pieces on sale, though they're up to normal price again... and there is even a matching dress and skirt in this line - both are to die for!).  I wish these pants were slightly less cropped, since they can't really be worn in the winter, but they are incredibly cute, and this ensemble reminds me of something my mom would have wanted when she was younger.  I take after her in the matchy-matchy department.

This past weekend, I went to hear my friend Aaron's band play with my friend Kim... I went to see a fantastic show, The 39 Steps,  directed by my friend/former director, Sean (and got half price tickets, thanks to my dear friend Mary!) with Wayne... I had 2 shows (oh, and the skirt of my costume FELL OFF during our last performance... in front of 600+ people... I handled it pretty well, but god, that's something straight out of an actor's nightmare!!) and caught up on sleep... and I had a great time at our cast party and laughed until my voice almost gave out.  My shows are over now, and I don't have another project lined up until February, so I want to keep busy as much as I can.  But I don't want to keep distracting myself, because I think that's sort of just sweeping how I feel under the rug.  I'm starting to feel okay about taking time for myself, to more or less be my own person again.  Acceptance is a really difficult thing, especially when we are all so resistant to change.  But I'm getting there.

Have a great Tuesday!
