it's my birthday and i'll shop if i want to.

shop if i want to,

shop if i want to...

you would shop, too, if it happened to you.

(sung to 'it's my party' by lesley gore)

got a call from the sister asking if i wanted to "birthday shop".

shure. don't have to ask me twice.

fun mini spree. got a few items that will pop up later.

but, first...

these are the dresses i will be living in this summer.

i say 'these' because i am going to get evvvry color and design.

i love the racerback, i love the slightly thicker t-shirt material, and i love the a-line cut.

i was a little disappointed that they were a bit short. this is the length, mentioned here, that shows my ankles and makes me look short. but, on the weekends, with slippers, they'll be the perfect length.

and, regarding my feather necklaces,

cel of spider silk stockings asked:

"That necklace is beautiful! But how on earth do you store it so that the feathers don't get all messed up?"

answer: i hang them on a cork board with thumbtacks.
