Dear Self,

You have too many skirts. So many that they don't really fit into the closet so well and you have even more back in Provo. When did your fetish start. How did this happen? Remember back when you were in 8th grade and you used to fight with your mother over wearing skirts to school? Remember? Now look at you! 26 skirts here at Cedar City (and about 10 more back at Provo), and you want more!?!?!? That's right, 26. So you don't believe me? Here, let me show you.

Skirt 1: Plain black, A-line skirt
Skirt 2: Plain black stretchy number from Old-Navy
Skirt 3: Black, polka dot with ruffely bottom
Skirt 4: Long black with white Hawiian like flowers
Skirt 5: Wool black and white with velvet ribbon next along the bottom
Skirt 6: Wool pink skirt with pink velvet ribbon (see skirt 5)
Skirt 7: Wool brown and turquoise
Skirt 8: Wool purple and black plaid A-Line
Skirt 9: Brown and yellow pleated with beads one top
Skirt 10: Brown, fluffy, with pink blue and white stripes
Skirt 11: Silky red flowered
Skirt 12: Long red with little white polka dots
Skirt 13: Long, tan, that is all
Skirt 14: Tan with white embroidered flowers
Skirt 15: My "La Cucaracha" skirt from Tar-get
Skirt 16: Poofy brown with orange flowers and sparkly stuff
Skirt 17: Dark red A-line
Skirt 18: Pink and white number from DI-$3!
Skirt 19: Blueish flowered one with blue trimming that hits just below my knees
Skirt 20: White and tan flowered A-line
Skirt 21: White A-line with embroidered with sequens along the bottom
Skirt 22: Short denium
Skirt 23: Turquoise J-hook with turquioise embroidery (a Hillary Duff specialty)
Skirt 24: A line flowery skirt with purple and tan flowers (aka the Marilyn Monroe skirt)
Skirt 25: The classic white fall back
Skirt 26: The pleated light pink one

So you see self? What is up with this? The next time you are at Gap and see the "skirt of your dreams", don't listen to that little green monster who whispers in the back of your head. Tell him "no". Tell him that even though that the skirt may be perfect for church the next day (and yes, you have indeed bought skirts just because you wanted something new to wear to church...stop lying to yourself) you don't need it. Remember the poor purple number back home in your closet who is so sad because you would rather wear something "new". So my dear self, remember that your skirt to pants ratio is 26:7 and due to the fact that there is only harsh weather ahead, you should probably buy some pants insead.
Also, you should probably remember to floss tonight.
Love,
You

*Stay tuned for the post about how this blogger wore a skirt each day of the week*

Yes, you have A LOT of skirts but they are so cute! I love that you love skirts! I don't think it's a problem. But you do need some good pants for winter. You also need to decide on some boots that maybe Santa can bring you. He was just wondering...
