April 1 – April 7
Graduation is just over a month away. I am doing a lot of graduation-related things – talking to my family about travel plans, ordering a cap and gown, trying to muster up some energy to send graduation announcements.
I want to buy a dress. I have a wedding the next weekend, too, so it would be nice to have something fresh to wear.
Buying a dress. This should be fun. I never buy clothes, especially not non-necessities (trying to find a decent black cardigan or pair of jeans isn’t exactly enthralling). But I have been looking ALL WEEKEND and apparently I have impossible specifications?
All I want is a dress that is
- Longer than my knees (or at least longer than other people’s knees, which means it will be just right on me)
- In stock in my size
- In the 30-60 dollar range
- Not black
- More substantial than spaghetti straps or zero-straps
I’ve narrowed it down to the two orange selections above. I really like the blue, but alas, it is out of stock.
But now I can’t decide which one to buy… and have I even checked everywhere? I’ve scoured through Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, J Crew, Modcloth, eShakti… on Target’s website, I narrowed my search down and was left with six choices – three of which were Maternity dresses.
Agh. Shopping. You suck.
Reading:
- I’ve been dipping in and out of books like a complete slut. Books including but not limited to:
- What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen
- Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride
- Candy Girl by Diablo Cody
- Tweak by Nic Sheff
Listening to:
- Nothing by WTF with Marc Maron. Diablo Cody. Jeffrey Tambor. Paul Gilmartin (so awkward…) Weird Al.
Watching:
- More LOST – on to Season 2!
- Frasier (please don’t ask)
- I finally watched Babies! Loved it.
I feel you on the dresses!! I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a new summer dress that isn’t black and it’s IMPOSSIBLE. Good luck in your search and congrats on graduating!!
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeee!!! I just found your new blog 🙂 Nice to see your face!
Oh, I like all the dresses!
I just listened to the Carrie Brownstein episode of WTF and really loved it. Okay, so I love most episodes. The Conan O’Brien one is still probably my favorite.
