Here's hoping the calendar flip leads to...something cool for those of us whose summers have been less than stellar.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I want to be all "Woo-hoo, September is totally not August and that rocks!" but today is not working out for me, so I'm deferring my "Yay new time period" to Tuesday.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Trudy Patient Booth. No, it just doesn't sound right.
No, it really really does not.
But he's lovely. And worth a little effort. And I kissed the HELL out of him. Shocked him nicely in a hydraulic fashion, tyvm.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Shallow clothing question:
I love the "skinny" jeans-tucked into boots-tunic look. However, am I too curvy for the "skinny" jeans? They are sooper tapered at the bottom and I'm afraid I'd look like a V from the waist down. (This is not a body image demon thing, just an I know my body shape thing and not sure I could be impartial enough to know it didn't look good on me since I love it so much. Jilli, quit flinching.)
Kinda like this outfit: [link]
Or this, but with the boots. [link]

So far September is not doing me any favors, though it hasn't tried to kill me yet.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I don't think that look flatters anyone who is not 12 years old or a size zero. But if you experiment, you should be able to find a jeans/boots/top combo that works for your body type.

Yeah, I'll just have to stick with my boot-cut jeans and boots. At least the tunic and belt will be cute, though.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
However, am I too curvy for the "skinny" jeans?
I think the key to making this look work with curves is to make sure the boots are slightly chunky (so you don't look like you're going riding, and avoid the V-shape thing), and that the tunic isn't too big and boxy. You don't want to look like you're only wearing the tunic to hide your ass, basically.
Personally, I've never found a pair of skinny jeans that fit me at all, because "skinny" seems to be interpreted as "has no ass" rather than "makes you look skinny." YJeanMMV.
