sooooo..... i discovered i can blog via email at work! yippee, i beat the system! still can't comment on other's blogs here (ack! and i really wish i could, how frustrating!) but maybe i'll discover that Secret Trap Door someday...over that rainbow...
i'm bored and hyper and have nothing particularly important to say. so i'll talk about the weather.
it's nasty foggy right now. and i was stupid enough to curl my hair :). humidity is the DEVIL. ah well! at least its not hot out there.
CONFESSION: i almost did a bad sinful thing yesterday. i'm Amazed that Ebay isn't blocked here (thankyouJesushallelujahknockonwood). yeah well, i've been looking for a pretty maxi dress to wear to an event and i resigned myself to getting THIS ONE which i like ok, but i'm not In Love with it enough to spend 60 bucks and get only 20% off.
early on in my quest (yes, quest) i spotted THIS but it's unavailable since it was part of last season's collection and HAHAHA! i can't afford diane von furstenberg anyways. well, i stumbled upon the same dress on Ebay! in my size!! but it wasn't to be. bidding started at $35 so i was hopeful but then it started climbing, hitting $70+.... and i was thinking, "weeelll, i could put it on my card" - BAD JEN!! but yeah, anyway the auction ended at $106. and i didn't give in. :)
so i'm gonna bite the bullet and sew a dress, which is frightening, lemme tell ya! i choose the Easiest patterns and it still takes me days. hilarious. i like the yellow-ness of THIS FABRIC since i can't have my beloved DVF dress. it looks like a tiger sort of....unleashing my inner tiger!

Oy cute dress!
JEN!!! I love you: you make me laugh! I love the material that you picked and it will look awesome on you! =0) The JC Penny one is cute though too!
You can email pictures to your blog to post them too! Did you know that already? lol
Oh yes, I def like the yellow dress better too, but the JCP one is cute! I don't think I could put one of those off - I'm too short! Hope it works out for ya!
k, so note to self: when blogging via email, DON'T use hot pink ;)
GT - aren't they purty?
Bekkster! - i luv you too! no, i didn't know but i guess it only makes sense, eh? gotta figger out this newfangled technology stuff!
Brookie! - i want it to be as long as possible, lol, i'm afraid that i'm condemning myself to trip and fall!
I'm feeling a little out of it in the fashion world. I hadn't heard the term "Maxi dress" in a few decades! (Like sometime in the 70s, long before you were born...) Then low and behold, I open a catalog today and there were "Maxi dresses"! Everything always comes back!
I'm sure you'll look dahling in whatever you go with!
i love how fashion comes around full circle! i hadn't heard of maxi dresses until this year!
I have NEVER heard of MAXI dresses before!!!! It reminds me of something...LOL What is a Maxi dress?!?! Okaaaaaaaay I like the blueish one the best!!! And how do you blog through your email?!?!
Mary,
Maxi dresses were popular back in the 70s - they were the answer to MINI dresses!!
thank God there is an alternative to the mini dress!!
mary - you have to set up an email address through blogger. it's really easy.
I am at a job where you have to look for things to do also. I Thank the Lord for Blogs and such also. Hallllleluyah!!!!! I like the yellow one too.
