I don't wanna talk about my excess of shoes. And the thing is? I mostly wear one of 3 or 4 pairs.

I got this dress for disguising cathair and hanging around the house: [link]

Yes, beige. It matches my cats, carpet and loveseat... I don't usually wear beige. Or light colors, really. Oddly, it reminds me of a striped knit top and skirt (in terms of color and stripes) I had back in 7th grade.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have an orange skirt.

I'm not sure about this. I don't wear orange. But it's not near my face, and it's a pretty colour.

Buying it was an exercise in effort. When I asked the woman if they had it in other colours, she simply said yes. Make the magic happen, lady! Then when I suggested she see if they have the other colours at other branches, she finally looks it up and asks if I want it in M or L. Uncoincidentally, madame, I want it in the size I brought up to the counter to buy. Which is a S.

I think her 70s disco headband was exerting too much pressure on her brain. She looked seriously stupid. I felt like telling her she looked dumb.

Me too. And all the others tend to look alike. I think I need a moratorium until I wear some of them out.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

No new shoes for you. Put all the other shoes you plan to keep in a bin or shopping bag. Once you wear a pair they can put away in a normal place. In month or two clear out some that have not been worn.

I have a few too many shoes too. And I bought a pair this morning.

But I really didn't have a pair like these! Slightly Oxford style. Can wear with socks or tights, pants or skirts.

::sigh::

I really should sort through my closet. I think I have way too many pairs of dressy black heels, and I wear those maybe once a year. Open toed, closed toed, how many pairs of 4 inch heels does one flatty woman need?

Does anyone know if the bra store Soma is related to Victoria's Secret? My sister got my hopes up that it was a high end bra store, but it felt just like VS and the staff was even more uninvolved.

If I hadn't just organized them, this would be a really good plan. But it would mean undoing some of the work I just did, and I don't see that happening, I'm afraid.

Well, I just sorted through my shoes and I still have too many heels I'm not willing to get rid of. I would really hate to have to buy them for an event again.

Our wings are not tired.

ita, I think Soma is related to Chico's.

So... I went to Target, and accidentally bought 4 dresses: [link] [link] [link] [link]

Pretty dresses, shrift!
