Here's what I meant by yoga hair band: link

I don't know if scrunchies will hold my mother's hair. They wouldn't have held mine. My sister will have to adjudicate.

I had a need for a shoe that I didn't know how to satisfy. I don't like wearing shoes with no socks or hose, only sandals. But sometimes, shoes, you know? You're wearing a dress and you want to be a little less casual than sandals and the tights free ballet flats have just not been...nope, not comfortable. Found these on sale, and that's great! Not something I need to wear to work (always socks or hose there), and it's like bonus Mary Janes.

I love me some Mary Janes.

I swear Aerosoles used to make this boot [link] without the zipper, just stretch pull on. It was my one true boot. I have it in black with the zipper from a year or two ago and the zipper folds at my ankle and rubs and hurts. I want them in brown this year, but way.

See, I feel the opposite, Zen! If I hire someone who owns their own cleaning service, then yeah, they should just charge what they want to make, and I don't see why I'd tip them. But a service, the people working only get part of what I'm paying, so...

ita, for hair stuff, I was going to second etsy.

did not manage the cookie dough. Will have to do that and bake them tomorrow. Should be easy since I will be home with no plans by noon.

How would you accessorise this dress? Brightly coloured shoes? Or jacket/cardigan? Right now doesn't seem to be a time to wear that without contrasting colour.

Sure, either/both.

Sure, either/both.

If both, I'm assuming the same colour?

I don't think the style of either of my brightly coloured shoes will work with the cut of the dress, so I'll wear it with innocuous shoes and go for the colour cover. My cardigans aren't elegant enough, I'm afraid--bright red trench coat.

Do you think a pale pink blazer would be too demure? All its findings are black, not pink.

See, I feel the opposite, Zen!

I don't know what to do! All I know is, if I tip them, I won't be able to afford them!
