I feel pretty!
The real one this time, not a bad spoof!!!
We went to try and find fabric for my Ima's "IKEA hacker-inspired bed-of-doom project" today. Got some really pretty fabric for curtains or something. It's hard to describe what we got. It's thin/gauzy/see-through (can't recall the right name.) It's partly muted-sage-green, and partly muted-brick-red. It also has embroidery all over it in new-copper-penny thread (but it's thick, more like yard) in the shapes of leaves. It's drop-jaw gorgeous! I swear Lashy, you would kill for it!!! AND we got it for 75% off, how awesome is that?!?!? And it's SOOO "Ima" it's ridiculous! It's beyond perfect for her room... and I don't think Dad will mind it either :)
Anyways, we didn't find the perfect fabric for Ima's bed (which is going to "upholstered" by a slipcover.) We did order some swatches though, which should get here in a week or so :)
Then we went out for late lunch/early dinner. Mexican food! Yum! There's no good Mexican/Tex-Mex food nearby (we lived in Texas for a year, we've been spoiled by really good Mexican/Tex-Mex food and have become snobs about it!) so when we go far from the house, that's often the cuisine we choose to eat. It was delicious, as always! (Ironically, one of the best not-in-Texas Tex-Mex restaurants we've eaten at is in Kodiak, Alaska. Go figure!?)
Well, the restaurant we ate at is right by a Talbot's Outlet Store. So we went shopping :D Amelia got loads of ice tops that fit her so well that you can't help but wonder if they came and took a mold of her while she was sleeping or something! I got a cute skirt (that has pockets, score!) for wicked cheap (marked down to $24, and 75% off of that!) I love outlets! Pity I'm not a size 6, because this store was one of the ones that sells all the samples they make for "well, maybe this will be one of the lines this year?" But all the samples are in size 6 (some 8s, but that's not me either!) or in size 18W (Woman's, "plus" sizes, but not just bigger, cut for the different proportions [eg, bigger bust proportionately])
And guess what else I found? *drum roll* The prettiest dress ever!!! It's very "spring/summery", but it's amazing! The cut really makes me look good! For those who know me in RL (and maybe some that don't), you know I dress very modestly. I don't like to wear anything low cut (more than 2 inches below my collarbone), sleeveless tops, pants, shorts, or skirts that are higher than the bottom of my kneecaps. Yeah, "slightly" modest for your average teen... (okay, so I'm not "average"... by any stretch of the imagination!)
However, this dress is sleeveless and low-cut v-neck, and I don't care! It looks that good on me! I'm not even going to bother trying to describe it, because I need to just take a picture of it! I'm going to tomorrow! I love it sooooooo much :) It cost $60. That was half-off the already marked-down price! I don't get new clothes all the often (I'm very pro thrift store), and this is defiantly the most expensive clothing item I've gotten in a few years :) But it's so worth it! I don't feel self conscious at ALL in it, which is saying something! It makes me feel sexy! *loves it*
Alright... I'll stop talking about the dress... It's pretty by the way, in case you were wondering!
Well, that's it for now...
Yes, I'm still planning on doing a voice post soon.
Oh, thumb: not as injured as we orginally thought. In fact, it's not bandaged anymore (although it is a bit achy tonight after I used it all day...) I think I might not have fully dislocated it, just really stretched the joint (sorta/kinda like a sprain, but not) because it defiantly popped a bit. Anyways... I can type, yea!! 'Tis good news :)
