The nice thing about not having any extra money to spend is that I can try on whatever clothes I want without having to worry about the cost. Everything is outside of my budget so why not try everything on? I had an hour to kill before the movie last night so I headed over to Macy's to play dress up and while perusing the selection came across this little number:
You guys! It's an orange and cream zebra print halftan!!* Because of the spending moratorium the only price that would have worked for me was free but oh how I laughed myself silly in the dressing room. It is so Golden Girls! Doesn't it just make your day?! And don't you wish it came with a turban, a pair of silk pants, and a stack of personalized stationary? If it did I could go as a legitimate Woman of Elegant Leisure for Halloween.
I'm not sad about leaving it in the store because twice before I have found pieces that I loved during a spending moratorium and have gone back months later once I could spend again and have found them significantly reduced and in my size. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. And then I can get down to some serious lounging. A turban should be easy to make, right?
*A caftan that only goes to the hips. Rotating the picture cut off the bottom.
It's you! Good luck on the spending moratorium!!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is fabulous. I really hope it's still around when the moratorium lifts, because that is FABULOUS! Thanks for a good laugh today. And thanks for educating me on what a haftan is. I will be in search of some after this baby pops, because they seem like the perfect post-baby drape.
ReplyDeleteoh. my. goodness. How can you love and hate something at the exact same time? Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI would have to insist that just one week, you wore this to church. WITH turban.
