Bad quality pics

2008-09-11T20:59:00.005-05:00

I felt really good today.
Got this dress last night. $15. Walmart. They have some surprisingly cute fall dresses! Check it out.

Leather jacket

2008-09-08T17:26:00.005-05:00

The thing I want most right now for fall is a leather jacket. I used to have one-granted it was fake and from Target-but I still liked it. Who the heck knows where that thing went...

I really want this one but the UK 6 is sold out. Maybe they'll get more? $186.00
http://asos.com

This one isn't bad either. And it's cheaper. $128.00
http://urbanoutfitters.com

The cheaper the better. Any suggestions?

2008-08-27T17:17:00.002-05:00

I haven't had a means of posting pictures so that's why I've been MIA.

Here are some dresses I recently purchased since my absence..

Heartbeats

2008-08-14T21:22:00.001-05:00

I don't know why I do, but I love this song.
Ignore that dumb fanvid.

I got 3 new F21 dressies to show you. Later...

yeah yeah.

Grandmother's dress

2008-08-10T15:53:00.004-05:00

After some 10 years, I have another of my father's mother's dresses. I have sold a few of her belongings via ebay (purses) and all I have left is her bedroom furniture, now 2 dresses, a fur coat, and some jewelry. I have nothing that belonged to my mom's mom. I miss having grandparents. They're all dead on both sides of my family.

Anyway, my cousin on my mom's side wore my grandmother's dress to her high school graduation like 10 years ago and now it's back in my hands. I love it so. Does anyone need a date to the prom or something?

Then and Now

2008-08-07T18:19:00.003-05:00

I realized today that I am wearing the same dress I was wearing almost a year ago in a picture with my dog, Chloe. I thought it'd be neat to see how different we look.

She's grown so much and my hair is longer! Uploaded to Facebook Aug 27, 2007

Hiatus

2008-08-02T22:38:00.002-05:00

I don't have any money to buy new clothes and I don't care to make interesting outfits as it's just too hot outside and no one is worth dressing up for at work because I just work with a bunch of women at a bra store.

So, until I get money that isn't eaten by bills.....

I guess I have nothing to post.

But I'll visit your pages.

Here's a cutesy video/song to delight your ears.

Beer hair

2008-07-22T22:22:00.004-05:00

I'm alive. In case you thought otherwise ;)

Haven't worn anything picture worthy and have no money to buy new things at the moment.

I have however been working on this conditioning of the hair thing.

The first night I used the olive oil masque I saw immediate results. But every other time I've had less than fantastic. Tonight I thought I'd give flat beer a try. I don't know what order you're supposed to do it in. Beer, shampoo, condition? Shampoo, beer, condition? Shampoo, condition, beer??

I did beer first. If it doesn't work, I have plenty of flat beer lying around (I don't pick up my room nearly as often as I should) so I can try it again tomorrow night. I'm also wondering how flat is too flat? I'm not beer expert when it comes to drinking it nor pouring it on my head! Tonight I poured nearly an entire 16oz of Steel Reserve. I also have budweiser and miller high life to try. I wonder if a certain brand adds more conditioning shine than another?

I've got the olive conditioner crap on right now. Is it so much to ask? I just want GOOD HEALTHY non dry hair. That's all. I blame the media..those stupid hair commercials. Is that sleek long hair even attainable!

edit:

Okay, so the beer WORKED! I think. Maybe it was a combination of the conditioning masque and beer but my hair is shiny and soft (er). So I'm going to keep doing it! And I got compliments at work. So..give the ol' flat beer a try!

Hair again, gone tomorrow

2008-07-16T18:27:00.003-05:00

I straightened my hair today to give you some idea as to if I can do a cutesy bob-like Katie Holmes in the entry below.

I went to the Regis Salon in the mall to get some good conditioner and left with some olive oil masque thing. 30 minutes twice a week. I really hope it helps my dried out mane!

And what I wore to work..nothing special.

hair

2008-07-15T20:53:00.004-05:00

This is the hair style I've been thinking about. I'm fairly certain my hair can't do this though. I don't have fine hair. It's on the coarser side. And it's really dry from dying it so many times. UGH!

I want longer hair but I'm sick of my current blah style. And I'm due for a trim anyway.

Hate Mischa, but I stumbled upon this pic. I like the dress. And the wedges. I'm so ready for fall!!! The saturated colors, tights, prints, scarvs and coats. mmm

Asos

2008-07-09T17:35:00.009-05:00

My dress from Asos came in today! I had a feeling it'd be waiting for me.
I'm not sure about it though. I like it but then..well, here take a look:

It fits great in the waist/hips (if not even a big snug!) but ...the arms. I'm hoping this is just part of the design. I don't know anything about UK sizing. My other french connection dress is a 0. But this is a 6. It's definitely not an American 6 because that would swallow me whole.

I just threw this belt on to see if would make a difference. Hmm.

And they threw in a free tote! Weeeeeeeeeeeeee

I don't know who Russell is. Should I?

Oh! And tell me what you think of the website I just finished (I started at 10:30 and it's 2:30 now) for my mom. She wants to breed pups and sell them. CLICK CLICK! I haven't made a full-fledged website since..gosh, I was maybe a freshie in college. Like 4 years ago!

50th post!

2008-07-08T20:45:00.005-05:00

I know my shoes and dress didn't exactly mesh today but whatever, I just went for it! My new shoes and swim suit bottoms came in yesterday. I've searched Target, Old Navy and Wal-Mart for a swim top and have had negative zero luck. I hate having a chest! I think I'm having a love affair with stripes. Hopefully by being small, my stripes don't hold true the the horizontals make you look fat!

Anywho, go janes and an $8 Target dress!

Receiving via post

2008-07-02T18:59:00.005-05:00

Oh, sorry for the confusion! I do work at Banana Republic but not often. I recently took a full time job at a bra boutique, The Fitting Touch. I still work at BR on the weekends--so I can keep the discount!

And excitingly enough, today I found out I got a small raise! More spending money! YAY!!

Last night I was feeling a little down and bought myself a dress from Asos and heels from Go Jane. The dress is French Connection. I really like their stuff. I'm just hoping a UK 6 translates into a US 0/XS.

Does anyone call mail the post anymore? Well, I'm excited to have these things coming! Still waiting on the swimsuit bottoms.

I'm glad the boots are liked. I'm wondering if I should try to ebay them? 5.5 isn't really my size. It's a tight squeeze.

Mom's visit

2008-06-28T15:37:00.005-05:00

My mom visited me today. Visits always ensure something new.

We went shopping at various shops, I bought her a bra from the bra boutique I work at, and she bought me new Victorian boots, a much needed wallet, and some used books. She also brought my roommate and I some pictures for our bare walled livingroom. Woo! I am sad she had to leave so soon :(

boots $25, Great Expectations and The French Connection $6 total, wallet $10.

Who is Lina Lee? And why are these boots $210.00? Thank goodness for consignment shops!

new top

2008-06-24T17:33:00.004-05:00

I'm trying to buy up some tops, I have none I really like...except my stripey tank.

Bought this at BR last night. I think it's prettty.

It's kind of low cut..but what of mine isn't!

Swim

2008-06-22T18:33:00.002-05:00

I just ordered these bottoms, $15. yay.
I hope I can find a halter top at old navy or target. My chest will not fit in that dinky bandeau top.

Summer SALE

2008-06-21T22:05:00.004-05:00

Summers sales are everywhere! Sadly, nothing good is in them!
I went shopping yesterday with hopes of finding a few key items.

I found nothing.
A vest from Anthropologie, a top from Arden B., and 2 pairs of Victoria Secret unders.
I hate shopping. Why is it that when you have cash in hand, the racks are bare. When the bank is dry, there's clothes everywhere! AH.

I look chub. I paired the vest with this pencil skirt and a tank from Old Navy (which a lot of people have!)

Navy

2008-06-18T22:45:00.002-05:00

I wear this tank entirely too much. Today was work so I paired it with these stripey navy pants. The stripes on tank are navy as well.

Theme: France

2008-06-15T17:16:00.006-05:00

(Just a french prop, don't worry I don't smoke)

Last night a friend of mine and I had a dinner party with a French theme. It was so much fun! Amazing food and too much wine!! We danced til 2:30am. My legs are killing me. I'm so glad you like my shoes.

Delicious!

Back, back, back it up. HA..Me and my roommate dancing.

They are too much! Trying to be oh so french.

Stripes girls! How cliche are we?

My skirt is BR. Tank as well. I can't wait for the next dress up dinner party!

Gladiators

2008-06-12T18:03:00.008-05:00

The idiots over at hot_fashion on livejournal said they were hooker shoes that look bad from the side.

I can't wrap my mind around this. They do not look like hooker shoes nor are they any less hot from the side? Furthermore, is anyone REALLY going to be staring at my feet from the side??? Is this really something people consider when buying shoes? Sure, I look in the mirror at all angles, but the front is what matters most to me. I guess I'm just weird? Whatever.

Someone even said gladiators are 3 years ago. Um, hello? Have you been on a shoe website lately? In a store? Or read a magazine? That's all that's out there! People never cease to amaze me. And while I can realize that may true, as my gladiator flat sandals are circa 2006...fashion is cyclic so get over it.

Rant done.

They were only $20 and worth every penny!

I can't afford $600 dior or some such designer gladiator heels so in my mind these are just fine. They make me think of Carrie Bradshow and runways. Suits me! As long as I can walk...

They're 5.5 inches. My tallest shoes ever. Now, I just need to play with my wardrobe and see what fun things I can put with them.

Life

2008-06-10T19:25:00.002-05:00

As you probably do not know, I majored in Psychology in college and I want to be a social worker. Yesterday I received a call and have an interview set up! I am very excited and very disappointed at the same time. My first choice was to stay here in this city and the 5th or 7th choice was a county close to the beach. Well, one of those latter choices is the one that called me so the open position is in the middle of no where!

Do I take it if offered the position? You're probably screaming YES but..I have a lot to think about.

In fashion news, I ordered a pair of shoes that should be here on the 12th. Super excited. I haven't had new shoes in ages!

Widelegs and a whiskey shot

2008-06-07T01:33:00.005-05:00

I can never take a good picture of my wideleg pants.

2008-06-06T00:57:00.003-05:00

Since fashion and music go hand in hand..

here..my new favorite singer: Santogold

Dancing

2008-06-04T23:25:00.004-05:00

I feel like dancing! And kissing and sexing and swimming and laughing and letting it all go.

When you think french fashion what comes to mind? Go! Tell me now. I think all the cliche sort of things.

Yelle in the summertime

2008-06-03T19:08:00.003-05:00

I can't even begin to tell you how hot it is in my room in our apartment. Why did I volunteer to take the no AC room again?? I bought a bar of chocolate last night from the store and it was melted within minutes. I'm not lying. I put it in the fridge this morning and got it out about 30 minutes ago. Melted again in the living room. This place is a regular inferno!!

It didn't help that I wore a sweater dress today. From Banana Republic's (in case you've forgotten, or didn't know, I work there, and ONLY shop there because I get a 50% discount) Spring 2 or Summer 1 line. It's a thin sweater material but no less HOT HOT HOT.

I'm going to see the Sex and the City movie tonight. I guess I'll just keep this on.

I'm listening to some sort of french pop music. Yelle's album Pop Up. Have a listen!

3 outfits from this week...

Pomp and circumstance?

2008-05-19T23:51:00.004-05:00

Apparently this little piece of paper along with a liberal arts education is supposed to land me a great job. HA! I've been out of school since December and have yet to have anything substantial come along.

Sigh.
But yesterday was fun. I got to walk across the stage like the rest of 'em.

I returned my coral colored Banana Republic dress and got this one instead for graduation. Wore it again today..like this. Those gladiator sandals are from 2006. time for new!

Boozin' it after grad....ha.

Summer's coming

2008-05-13T19:26:00.006-05:00

Apartment is still a mess. Little Bird started moving in today! I'm excited to see how our stuff will "mesh." I have stuff everywhere; my dresser isn't here yet.

Will be the dining room when we get a table...

I don't feel like taking my clothes off, otherwise I'd show you the dress my friend gave me over the weekend. Maybe next time. It's a tight little vintage number.

But for today:

Anthopo dress and Bobbi Blu? tstrap mary-janes.

2008-05-09T18:32:00.005-05:00

I've moved into my new apartment. Still getting settled.
Expect sporadic posts, I don't have internet.

The other night my friend Danielle came down for a visit. It was much needed for both of us I think. Banana Republic dresses, thai food, and martinis!

Nothing new fashion wise. My mom is coming to visit the 16-18 for my graduation. We're going shopping. I'm hoping she'll buy me some jeans. Not that I need any, but all of mine are skinnies, and I'm reallly wanting some widelegs.
Preferably
these or these. These are both BR (I get a discount!) but do you know of any others you really like? Inform me please!

Oh, and since Carrie tagged me I'll be doing a post about myself next time. Well, all of these are about myself. Ha..you'll see.

New things to cheer a sad soul

2008-05-03T21:03:00.004-05:00

Retail therapy?

Last night I went out wandering from store to store in search of a dress for my college graduation. I finished in December but have to walk this month.

I'm saddened by the fact that someone I don't like very much is planning on wearing the same dress I plan to wear. Maybe Mom will buy me another. I know I'll look much better in the dress than said girl but still.

This is the dress I chose from my workplace, Banana Republic.
Sadly this photo doesn't show all it's loveliness.

on the model.

Today my father called and broke the news that my childhood pet that I've had for 18 years (since I was 5) passed. I am sad. On top of that I've gained weight and feel like an ugly cow so I went to Target and spent too much on beauty products to make myself feel better. I also got candy which I didn't need. Maybe I'm just ppmsing (post pms?) but I feel like a sad sack of shi*.

Soap & Glory lip plumber and deep conditioner, Burt's Bees deep cleanser and blemish stick, hair dye, mascara, gum, swedish fish, hershey bar, and olay cleansing cloths (I swear by these).

2008-05-01T19:32:00.004-05:00

I raced over to the consignment shop this evening to get one of those furs.
I get there and ask the sales woman if she knows where they are..they aren't where they used to be. "I don't know what you're talking about."

USELESS!
So, I didn't find one :( Dagnabbit! However, I did walk away with $20 from consigning. YAY.

Yesterday NV posted she'd purchased a feather headband from UO. I've had my eye on that headband but haven't been willing to shell out $20 for it. I'm CHEAP like that.

So..I decided to make my own. I had a plastic headband lying around, some fabric, and a feather from a pair of my grandmothers earrings. I don't think it looks all that amazing...but there it is.

I don't know if I'll wear it out in public but it was fun to make.

I trimmed the feather..but it may need more pruning. It's so ..fluffy.

fur this.

2008-05-01T00:52:00.003-05:00

Thanks to Yvan's picture on facehunter..

I've always been drawn to these furry things (what is their proper name?) and just seeing this one on this girl makes me want to go out and buy one. And I know just where to get one! I hope the consignment shop still has them. It did when I bought my aviators last week.

I'll go tomorrow and see. I know it's getting too warm out for a furry neck but...I don't care. It'd be cute with a lacey silky dress/cardi emsemb. YEAH!

Moving out

2008-04-29T17:23:00.004-05:00

Tonight will be spent moving my furniture into the new apartment. OH how I dread it! A huge sofa down 3 flights of marble stairs, across town, and up to 3329D.

I really do enjoy this boy's deep v from UO. I'd like some more! No need in getting all dressed up just to get dirty and sweating moving, lifting, and rearranging.

It's beautiful out-if a little cold- so I went to the park.

Remind me to paint my toenails. My feet are comparable to that of trolls. Gross.

Dress ?

2008-04-27T23:57:00.003-05:00

I stole this from someone's livejournal comment in reference to a pixie 'do...
but look how wonderful Michelle Williams looks! Who'd a thought..I was never a fan of the Dawson Creek.

I love her hair. That dress! Where's it from!! I don't know how current this picture is given that Heath is RIP and all.

2008-04-25T14:59:00.005-05:00

Third day this week to wear my new skirt. I can't help it, it's just so easy to put on. A skirt is half a dress after all.

I've been feeling about as fat as a house lately.

Today Little Bird and I sign the lease to our new apartment. Pretty soon pictures will take on a change in scenery. YAY

Candycanes in summer

2008-04-24T23:15:00.009-05:00

Today I volunteered at the hospital as a candy-stripper. Just kidding! Do they still have those???

I just made a late night (around 10:30) trip to the neighborhood grocery store where a strange fella stopped me and asked me where I got the dress. I think more men ask me where my stuff comes from than women. ha. I found it at TJ Maxx last summer but have seen it at Parisian and Anthropologie.

Not too thrilled about the shoes but whateves. I need to get a black casual wedge. These are Target last year. Or the year before? I don't know.

Save the polar bears!

Good day off

2008-04-23T15:41:00.002-05:00

Today has been really lovely and it's only 3:45. Days seem endless when you get up early--okay, I woke up at 11:45.

After a job interview, I decided I wanted to go purchase some aviators I tried on yesterday. $14. I've been wanting some but they're too big for my face. These seemed smaller. I think the mirror in the store lied about how they look on my face.

Let's face it; I look like a waxy robot in sunglasses.

It's been a throw-on casuaul sort of day. After buying the glasses I went to a nearby pizza diner and sat and sat and sat eating my pizza. It was very relaxing. It feels like summer.

Summer Style

2008-04-22T00:52:00.003-05:00

I had a little bit of money today from consigning some clothes and thought I'd check out Gap since I get a discount there from working at Banana Republic.

I loved the bland colour palette but wasn't in love with any one item. But it made me decide that I want my summer wardrobe to be pretty monochromatic-lots of whites and beiges. It makes me think beach. Or a Ralph Lauren ad.

Then I went to Urban Outfitters (where I spent my bit of money on a pretty denim skirt) and decided I wanted to mix the beach with a vintagey 70's feel. Skirts, dresses, and wedges.

It looks good in my head. Now if I could just get some pieces to get the look started.

What's your summer going to look like?

Broke and naked

2008-04-16T21:21:00.002-05:00

I'm so bored with my clothes. With my hair. With everything.

Not having money to buy pretty lacey frilly new things makes me ever so sad. Ever. So. Sad.

cheaper

2008-04-13T22:40:00.004-05:00

There's always a cheaper alternative...

(click it)

MJ coat is 2000, BR is less than 200!
I just need to find cheaper dresses. I'm attracted to ones that cost $500+

Soldiers

2008-04-12T21:53:00.004-05:00

My style is at a standstill as I can't afford the things I so desire. Such as a silk Imitation of Christ vest and pretty silk flowy dresses to layer with silky lacey bits.

Today a kind woman asked me to be her personal stylist. I was incredibly flattering.

Sometimes it doesn't make sense, but it works. IRL.

Lipgloss

2008-04-08T23:54:00.002-05:00

I'm almost out of my favorite lipgloss from Anthropologie.
I've been using it since December 2 years ago. Don't you think it's time to give something else a try?

I want this. A little luxury for my lips.

At $30 a pop I'm not so sure though...my old tried and true is just $8. Hmm!

Hair

2008-04-04T03:36:00.002-05:00

I did a stupid thing tonight; I cut my hair. I had a good hairdo too. Dang it. Oh well, it'll grow out! It's not bad now, just very "To Kill a Mockingbird."

If that makes any sense?

2008-04-03T15:33:00.003-05:00

Do you ever have those days when your plans are shot to hell in a bucket and you feel lousy because you slept til 1:45 pm? And then your hair doesn't work and you seem to have nothing to wear in your closet?

So you turn to that dress you purchased a year or so ago. That dress that used to be your favorite. With it's soft jersey fabric that hadn't started to pill yet. Now that dress is your go to comfortable dress.

Do you ever have those days? That outfit?

I purchased this dress today for $10 from a vintage/consignment store to make myself feel better. It reminds me of this dress

Okay, maybe not really....

Happy Birthday to me

2008-03-28T18:37:00.006-05:00

I am twenty-three years old today. Can you believe that shizzledizzle? Yeah, me neither.

New cheapo F21 dress for dinner tonight. I know it's probably a knock-off. $30 beats $300!

I look like a Freddy Krueger lobster because I was at the beach all week. Ouch.

Easter

2008-03-23T18:53:00.003-05:00

Happy Easter.

Layers

2008-03-14T01:09:00.002-05:00

If ever there was a frumpy old lady dresser, it's me. I can't help but love flowy layers. But I think my old lady style of drapey cardigans and dresses far surpasses the MK trashcanhobo style of yesteryear. It works for me.

I'm ready to picnic in the fields of Montevallo. Or wherever boy is taking me.

2008-03-12T19:40:00.001-05:00

Today was absolutely beautiful. I'm sad I had to go into work, I would have much rather been outside. A manager went tanning on her break and all I could think about was how I wanted the warm sun toasting my skin. By the time I got to the park at 5:30pm it was already a little chilly but still nice as people were playing with frisbee and kissing beneath a tree (seriously.)

Here's to hoping Spring is finally here! I do not want another cold rainy day!

Forever 21; surprisingly good for Spring

2008-03-12T00:08:00.000-05:00

If you're broke like me, but want some pretty new things to add to your spring wardrobe, I suggest you go to your neighborhood Forever 21. Yeah yeah, I know you think it's going to fall apart in a day, but not if you sift through to the well made stuff. I've only had 1 shirt fall apart, so I don't know where people get that nonsense. If you like pretty lacey things (like me!) that bring to mind images of Victorian girls in lace boots, running through a meadow, or an afternoon teaparty--you are sure to find something at F21. There are tons of pretty tops and cute knitted cardigans. And quite a few jersey dresses (mmm jersey! so cool on a summer day). Go now.

Got one, finally

2008-03-11T20:53:00.000-05:00

Now I just need some hot guy to roll around in the sand with.

It's true

2008-03-11T01:35:00.000-05:00

Definitely purchased fedora from men's side. I like it. I hope it's not too big?
I want more. Hats could be my new Spring accessory

2008-03-10T21:42:00.000-05:00

I again went out looking for swimsuits and had no luck :(

TJ Maxx, Target, and Old Navy were all no gos.

I want chic cheap. Okay?

I did however get a fedora and an awesome rug for my next apartment which I shall be moving into at the beginning of May. Oh YAY.

Spring Cleaning

2008-03-06T13:42:00.000-06:00

The windows are open, letting in fresh clean Birmingham smog. I'm airing the place out. It's yet another day off and instead of spending it in bed or on the sofa, I'm cleaning this box from top to bottom!

40 in counting

Tonight I decided to count and photograph my dress collection. Since the beginning of 2007 it has more than doubled. I had 16 then, I have 40 now. Since no one reads this journal, I do not care to post all the pictures. I already did that over on LJ and Facebook. Stalk them there if you're curious.

Interview Attire

2008-03-05T02:05:00.000-06:00

I really feel like I'm dumbing myself down by applying to these retail positions. I have a degree and I want to use it!

I spent the last 8 hours (okay, that's an exaggeration) reworking my resume and filling out an application for a Social Service Caseworker.

Tomorrow I go on yet another mindless interview in which I'm sure to be turned down. I know I haven't been prepared going into these things - I didn't know you had to wear hose or I didn't research the company (mostly because my mother sent out a bunch of resumes to people and I just answered the phone. How was I supposed to know what the company even was?) and my resume was probably subpar. But now that isn't going to happen because I'm not returning any calls I don't recognize, I've fixed my resume, and I'm clued in on appropriate interview wear.

All that is well and good, but tomorrow I'm interviewing at a teeny bopper clothing store - not as an administrative assistant or receptionist of some kind. Think Forever 21 but one of the competitors. I am desperate for work as I can barely pay my bills. In fact, well, I can't. Not on what Banana Republic pays me.

Anyway, the point is that I don't need my resume, my degree, or even my interview attire. I just need to have managerial skills (I do!) and look good. Or look skank? I don't know. But this is what I plan on wearing:

Spring Break packing

2008-03-04T18:47:00.000-06:00

Oh, I'm so excited for the beach!

I need to get that swimsuit. Batteries for my cd player, snacks, sunscreen, cds to make some mixed beach tunes, and a camera. I'm sure I'll think up something else.

Pack a dress or 2. Or all dresses?? Oh, my newly made denim skirt! I can bring that.
I saw this one at intermix:

I think the one I made is just as good.

So yeah, swimsuit, batteries, pillow, dresses, undies, sunscreen, toiletries, OH, I need some flip flops!, um, snacks, camera, beach chair, yeah....

I need a swim suit ASAP

2008-03-04T03:33:00.000-06:00

I absolutely hate swimsuit shopping. It is nearly impossible to find a suit for my oddly shaped body. 5'1, petite, and big boobs.

Last year, a shelled out a heck of a lot of $ for a two piece, and now I hate it. It deforms my chest and I do not want to wear it again this year. 2-pieces are out. I want a 1-piece. I'd like a monokini but fitting my chest in one that doesn't show most all my goods doesn't seem possible.

I want my bum and bust tucked in and covered. Coverage is key. But at the same time I want mad sex appeal. Not mamaswimsuit. No. And there's a lot of mom suits out there.

Here we go:
Said swimsuit from last year.
It's still a really good suit, but some small boobie chick would look better in it.

Do you see? Do you? It's terrible. Why did you let me go out in public in that thing?

Someone once told me bigger chested girls should wear halter tops. It keeps 'em up and high. Well, I think it makes me look shorter and I just look fat in this. $20 from TJ Maxx last year. Never wore it.

So, yesterday I went to Macy's to check out their selection. They had nothing!

Yah, you know your 87 year old grandma would rock this. Ugh.

So, I decided to skim the internet. These are my top boobs in, sex up, selections.

1.

2.

3.

I think I could pull these off. I have a really hard time figuring out what color would look good on me since I'm so pale. I never get more than a golden glow (after severe burn)..so swimsuit shopping is all around a scary horrible unexciting chore for me.

VERNAL EQUINOX

2008-03-04T01:06:00.000-06:00

I love March. It's my favorite month. March is synonymous with Spring!, daylight savings, green trees, flowers blooming, warm breezey weather, swimsuit shopping, spring cleaning, and of course equipping my wardrobe with pretty delicate drapey dresses and flowy skirts and blouses in colors most romantic and dreamy. Think Marie Antoinette-that's how I want my Springs to be.

Here's a few items on my wishlist (dresses of course!):

This dress is beautiful. But at $2000+ I think I can live without it. There's always something similar at a cheaper price.

Mini dresses are great. I love the pretty detailing at the sleeve and the pale yellow.

I love the pop of red. It's super feminine yet has a touch of menswear. Mmhmm.

These last two dresses from Francesca's and Target, respectively, won't break the bank.

This dress is only $40 from the Go Internatonal line. This month is Jovavich-Hawk. What does Jovavich NOT do? Act, sing, design clothes. She's one neat lady.
