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, …
The Three Faces of This Square Peg.
All the emotions in the span of the day. Or everyday, really, give or take. Grumpy, Somewhat Smiley, Eventual Smile. (I really need to exfoliate/moisturize my kissers before putting on my lip shade. That's Currant by MAC, by the way. Great for the autumn/winter months. It's just the lip pencil used all over.) All right. Onwards, upwards, …
she’s back.
Is it safe to say that I'm quite happy to have my hair back? I think so. Since saying farewell to the braids a few days ago, I've re-entered the world of twist outs and Bantu knot outs, as evidenced above. Viva la petite (and growing!) fro.
Protective Styles and the Impatient Naturalista.
I can patiently wait in line for tickets to see a Broadway show. I can patiently wait in line at the grocery store. (Especially when IÂ have literally one item and the woman in front of me has 26, even though we're in the 12 items or less lane.) I can patiently wait to meet the …

Fabu Fashion Galore.
First off, thanks to everyone who read, liked, and/or commented on The Wedding and the Web. Sharing is caring, and it's always my pleasure to share my writing on This Square Peg. Now.

Blogtober, Europe, and Me.
As we embark on a brand new October starting tomorrow, I'd like to officially announce the return of Project Blogtober! You remember last year's endeavor to blog every day during my favorite month, and my promise that I would do it again this year. Well, we're doing it again! Here's to blogging every day and enjoying …
Summertime, and the Cutting is Easy…
It was going to happen eventually. My longing for change would be manifested via my hair, and that's exactly what happened. Without further ado... I cut my hair. What what? Yes, after making promises to myself that after my cut in January 2014, I would just grow it out patiently and see where it took …
Fabu Fashion #5: Casual Friyay Redux (And a Silent Video)
We've come to the end of our Fabu Fashion Week. After these few days of showing you what I'm wearing, I trust that you've come to realize that: I'm basically a simple gal when it comes to fashion. (Perhaps if I lived in my Parisian apartment and was married to you-know-who during the week, you …

Fabu Fashion #4: The Mod Squad
I'm a sucker for 60s-type mod dresses. I've had this dress for a while and will hold on to it until the seams fall out. It's comfortable enough for these hot, spring-is-now-hijacked-by-summer days that we're experiencing in the Northeast area. I paired it with my mom's shiny flats (she shouldn't leave shiny things around with me …
Fabu Fashion #3: A Bit of Coral
Warning: I had to snap today's episode of Fabu Fashion in the Villainous Lair of Dark Doom; a.k.a., the ladies room with the terrible lighting. Enter if you dare. I need to tell you how much I love this dress. Ah, I love it. The color, the simplicity, the loveliness. At this point, I'm sure you know where …
