Let's get right to it, shall we? For most of my days on this planet, I've been reminded by my mother about how this thing that sits on my neck nearly cost her her life. If you have a large coconut, I'm sure you've heard similar stories from your mom. And lest you think Mom …
things i currently need #8: swimsuit edition
I will preface by telling you that This Square Peg is perfectly fine in her swimming trunks, a tankini top, and a cover-up. Because she's quite comfortable with being comfortable--including at the beach. And as much as I adore the beach for being the great body unifier (in other words, no matter what you feel about …

Fabu Fashion Thursday: Jump, Jump
My love affair with jumpsuits continues. I went ahead and wore one to work today. Here it is, compliments of an empty ladies washroom. So until today, it's never dawned on me to wear a jumpsuit to work. I don't know why. I just never thought of it. Perhaps it didn't strike me as providing the …

shopgirl?
I don't know what it is about entering a store and looking through racks of clothes and trying them on that fills me with pre-root canal-esque queasiness, fear, and disdain. Most of my friends hear my "I detest shopping" complaint and are shocked that my recent weight loss didn't translate into a complete change in mindset, …

Fabu Fashion Monday: Poncho, Please.
Let me tell you about the last time I wore a poncho, which was sometime in the early 2000s: quite unnerved by the lack of actual sleeves, I wore it once and stuffed it somewhere in my drawer after ripping it off at the end of the evening. Yes, folks, my name is This Square Peg, …
