cheap in more ways than one

Awesome: finding a supremely flattering dress in your size
Awesomer: finding TWO supremely flattering dresses in your size
Awesomest: getting the two supremely flattering dresses in your size for $35 total, tax in
Super Hyper Mega Awesome: local designers clearing out the last of their summer stock for super cheap!

Hooray! Now I have something to wear to Ed’s Corporate Holiday Event next month, and something for the fancy champagne reception at Bodacious on Thursday night! I just need to find a way to make the one dress show slightly more cleavage and I’m good to go. After all, you know my motto: “It’s not cleavage unless it makes somebody uncomfortable”.

Don’t try that at home, kids.

With the good, however, comes the confusing. Contrary to logical belief, Pumpkin Pie Blizzards are not at ALL delicious. Not one bit. An excellent idea with a tragic follow-through, I’m now tempted to drop everything and make up my own tasty pumpkin treats that do not taste like cold baby food with mystery chunks.

I have a Plan: I aim to be done my holiday shopping by the end of November, and then spend the month of December baking. I love baking but I’ve avoided it because our oven sucks. I might invade Miranda’s house and use her oven instead, or perhaps run double duty between our apartment and Shan’s – at any rate, baking will be done and it will be delicious and confusing or somewhat disappointing like my non-good Blizzard treat.

Now I am off to nap before heading to the airport at super late times to pick up Josh and Shan.

  1. Hi milez! How ya been?

    DH: It was actually at Portobello West, which is why I didn’t give the locale :) They’re Schaart dresses, which are actually sold at Bodacious too – I love supporting local designers, but I’d never ever be able to afford the original price tag on these dresses ($125 each! omg.) but for $10 and $25 respectively, well holy crap. :D
