fascinators and funky poses

I have to say that I have the best friends. They have just all been so great in helping with the store! If they’re not just giving me things to sell, they’re telling everyone they know to shop with us. In that vein, I have to thank Leah Fleischer for hooking me up with Andria. Andria, along with quite a few of my friends (and now my brother!!) is going to Korea to teach English. If you have lots of student debt and would like to travel, you should look into this. They give you a housing stipend and pay you almost $1000 a month! Make sure you do it Seoul though, otherwise they stick you out in the boonies where there’s nothing going on. Anyway, best of luck to Andria and thank you for selling me all your stuff!

Since I bought a ton of clothes this week I spent most of my day at the store pricing and steaming and I’m still nowhere near done. I did also redress all the mannequins though. I’ll make a post of that in a few.

Everything I wore today except the tights and feather hairpiece were pieces I got from Andria. She has incredible taste!

thanksgiving and waffle house go hand in hand

Wednesday Addams pretty much summed up my feelings about Thanksgiving,

“You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. And for all these reasons I have decided to scalp you and burn your village to the ground.”

Not that I don’t love it when people give me hot, free, delicious food, especially since my diet consists mostly of cereal. I just hate all the running around. This year the boy and I had 5 Thanksgivings to attend, including one we threw for our friends, but it was all a lot of fun. It was really nice to meet the boy’s extended family too. For exactly that reason, I chose a pretty plain outfit by my standards so as not to completely weird them out on our first meeting. Also of course went for comfort with my jersey knit tent dress. No tight pants here! And my new tiny gold pocket watch, which I have worn everyday since I got it. Without further ado…

sooo full!

Then, at about 2:30 in the morning, my brother and I decided that Waffle House was in order. So we drove over the bridge to Kentucky, land of Waffle House, cheap cigs, and smoking INSIDE! I opted for a little more casual outfit for that.

Thanks for reading, hope your Thanksgiving was good!

c’est la vie

Being that it’s been so glum and overcast round these parts, me and the boy haven’t left the house too much. So we decided to make a little trip out to the suburbs (gasp, heresy) and go to Ikea. We were on the hunt for a belt holder and a coat rack of some sort, and we were pretty successful. If only I had more money to buy the big awesome green shag rug I’ve been eyeballing, but not with those THREE parking tickets I got recently. C’est la vie.
