Dinner with Friends

May 24, 2008

I was too casual in my Stitch’s jeans, Kaporal army jacket, and knee high boots. I just really didn’t expect the tanks, halters and sequins in Chicago, in March. I felt like I was in LA. One very prim and proper looking woman had on an all sequined black tank. I have one but it is in my “Vegas” suitcase.

The Perfect Black Shoe?

May 21, 2008

I have 24 pairs of black shoes. Yes, really 24. I counted them the other day when I was trying to decide which pair to wear. Not one of them worked with what I was wearing.

Directionally Challenged

May 20, 2008

“They” say it’s healthy, right?…to laugh at yourself. Well, here’s one for you.

Say It Isn’t So

I had a limited amount of time, a specific apparel need and a preconceived idea of what I wanted. My Sales Associate, “Lori” was quick to pick up on my [...]

But if you happen to be visiting in the winter (usually from Halloween to Valentine’s Day), don’t be fooled. A jacket is definitely recommended, especially if the wind is blowing. We know [...]

Avoiding The Black Hole

May 14, 2008

So I have always been the type of girl to carry a fairly small purse. I am usually drawn to them but also I am afraid that if I carry a bigger purse I will become my mother and it will take me 15 minutes to locate my car keys in what my friends [...]

Scratching That Itch

May 13, 2008

There are times I have an overwhelming itch to buy something. By “buy something,” I mean buy myself something fun like clothes, shoes, jewelry, a boat, whatever. I’ve sworn off using credit cards, so there are times when I get this itch that I don’t have much to scratch it with. [...]
