Shopping

I need some spring and summer clothes and when work is slow (and I'm extra-special bored), my mouse tends to wander to such clothing websites as ModCloth and Lulu's, to name a couple. Yesterday I was lucky enough to find a discount code for Lulu's, which I dutifully utilized after days of staring longingly at the the items I had saved in my shopping cart. Wanna see what I got?



I loved this flowy little number from the moment I laid eyes on its sweet ruffles. The color is just divine, and it could be worn with a skirt (which I never wear), jeans, or pants with some cute, strappy sandals (which I need to buy more of as well).

And speaking of strappy sandals, I bought this oversized bag a few weeks ago and have been patiently waiting to transfer the contents of my fall/winter bag until I can safely wear cute, open-toed shoes without fear of frostbite. (The bag wouldn't look as good with winter shoes.) Uh-uh, not quite yet.

Bought these earrings yesterday. They're actually made of recycled buffalo bone (now, how do you recycle bones, I ask ya?). I loved the pattern, and the fact that even the posts are made of bone. I am hoping that, because of this, my ears won't react to these like they do with anything made of nickel. Lulu's also has a bevy of wooden earrings that look really smart, but I worry about buying breakable things. I'm that clutzy.

And last but not least, this top. I like the drawstring, peek-a-boo neckline and the light, airiness of it. I could pull this off at work, I think. Well, not PULL it OFF, literally. That sounded bad. Okay, moving on...

So that's what I've bought from Lulu's so far. I should add that I like Lulu's because their styles range from classic to trendy, they have a TON of items for sale, and their prices are pretty good.

I should get the tops and earrings by late next week. Hopefully, they'll fit and not make me look pregnant (like my brother thought I was over the weekend-- that's a whole 'nother story).

Ta!

So, I'm not new to the whole blogging thing, just so you know. I seriously doubt anyone is these days, since so many people feel that their daily sturm-und-drang is worth blabbing about in an open, public forum such as the Internet. (I'm including myself in this statement.) I had--okay, have--a Livejournal account that I sometimes/almost never write in anymore, unless Josh, er, ahem, "people" piss me off so much that I feel I have nowhere else to vent but online. However, I've stopped using it to talk about fun stuff like baking, or gardening, or makeup and hair stuff, and I'm not really sure why. Probably because it got clogged up with so much venting that I felt that the people who read my journal had likely stopped due to all the negativity I was spewing. And why blog if you don't have an audience for which to blog?

I suppose I could follow that up by asking, "Why do ANYTHING without an audience?" But that's probably just the former actor/current Leo sign talking.

Maybe I've decided to create this new blog today out of sheer boredom, or perhaps I was in need of a hunger or online shopping diversion, or better yet, maybe I want to try to get myself back into regular blogging because, well, it's fun! And I need more fun in my life. We all do. So here's to hoping this isn't me starting something I won't continue with.
