It must be August again… (Uncategorized)

I am really bad when it comes to the concept of time.  Now I don’t mean that I can only function on “CP time” (how dreadful), but I really don’t have a working internal method of keeping track of time.  Days tend to run together and I have no idea of when things happened.  It’s the strangest thing…

In spite of this, today (Saturday, right?) I realized that autumn is on the brink of beginning.  Sure It won’t feel like it until around November, but at least it’s coming.  This heat has been giving me the blues and I really, really, really want to wear things that aren’t tank tops.

Today, I spent a good deal of (time/money/choose your own adventure) in American Apparel.  As most of my mini-sprees go, it was prompted by a bad attitude that was prompted by dudeguy  who was NOT respecting my conglomerate…RUDE!

*confession: this is the first time I’ve listened to this song…hell, I didn’t even know it was a song…*

I was careful not to go too crazy…sort of.  I mean, I have a closet that is in dire need of paring and impulsive spending is SO not the business.

I went in looking for a swimsuit and ended up walking away with two tri-blend raglans and some crazy cloud print leggings.  I guess autumn isn’t coming quickly enough for my subconscious…or I just can’t help giving money to Dov and the gang.  Not complaining either way.

If anyone was wondering, those particular leggings are more than able to function as pants.  Somehow the pattern makes them less offensive and the material keeps the ass-jiggle to a minimum.  WIN.

Oh, and those raglans are the best sweatshirts in the history of ever.  I threw one on to the fitting room pile just to try it out and was immediately smitten with the fit and feel.  I debated between those two colors and ended up saying “fuck it, I’ll get both.”  I doubt I’ll regret it.

UPDATE: I couldn’t wait to play dress up.  These are officially the “wonder leggings” and I have now recognized the influence that Susie Bubble has on my life at this moment.   See…there’s that subconscious working.

Did you know my blog’s birthday is coming up next week?  How should we celebrate?  In-house giveaway?  Kegger?  Bra burning?  I need suggestions!

    Cool leggings! I’ve been coveting a cloud print dress by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. Right now I just have the little top with the boob cloud. LOL: http://wendybrandes.com/blog/2009/07/paris-day-5-part-i-outfit/
