eyes wide shut.

as i was trying to pry myself away from mini-he yesterday at preschool drop-off, something immediately caught my eye. another parent had forgotten to cut the price tag off her shirt. the bright white tag was clearly visible under her sheer top.

i wanted to tell her, but she was across the way and i was dealing with mini-he's separation issues.

i was reminded of a personal incident many years ago...an unplanned trip to the beach left me with nothing appropriate to wear, so i ran into ross and grabbed the cheapest sun dress i could find. later, after grabbing lunch at mcdonalds, my sister told me the price tag was hanging out the back. talk about total mortification...all those people standing behind me in line?!

so, back to my original thought...i have no problem telling a friend, but do we tell a stranger that their price tag is showing? or that they have something in their teeth? do we risk embarrassing them now or save them from future embarrassment? would you want someone to tell you?

burnout.

the lovely danielle of danielle celeste sent me one of her beautiful, handmade originals...this asymmetrical burnout cardigan. the lighting in my photos doesn't do it justice, but it's a beautiful ivory color, and the lightweight material makes it a versatile piece for this warm-weathered state. i look forward to working it into my current wardrobe.

thanks, danielle!

by the way, this is the package that took over one month to get here. i included a picture of the postage date for proof.

have faith in the postal system, my friends.

so blogger finally added a "reply" button to our comments. it's nice to have the option to respond to your comments directly. but, i'm curious...do you re-visit posts to read replies? do you subscribe to comments? or do you prefer a response via email or on your blog?
