TODAY's ARRIVALS!

It has arrived! My last purchase of the month, and last purchase other that gasoline for my LOLA (that's what I call my little blue Ford Escort ZX2 // Mr.A calls her the Blue Electric and OJB calls her the Blue Blazer... what Mr.A and my good friend OJB need to realize is that her name is LOLA and she is a Showgirl. The End.) and necessary food purchases of course.

Ta-Da:

 The Michael Kors Watch!

(link to the blog post with the discount codes!)

Yay!!

I've got to get it sized for my wrist because it is WAY TOO BIG, so unfortunately no wearing it for now. But as soon as I get that done, it's on my wrist this will go!



Also arriving today, besides the watch (and the Banana Republic skinny distressed jeans mentioned in the previous post), is the Anthropologie Sun Dot Dress (pictured below).

This dress has received HORRIBLE reviews from bloggers all over the place (Effortless Anthropologie, VJ in LA, etc.). Most of the negative reviews were talking about awkward bunching in the back and annoying/unnecessary movement of the dress in the upward direction when you walked around. Many also complained about the top and bottom not sizing right, and about how most had to go up a size to fit their ta-tas in.
I admit when it arrived this morning I did the "Please God fit me, PLEASE LET IT LOOK GOOD" chant over and over again as I opened the package and tried the dress on.

THANK GOODNESS! It wasn't weird! It definitely needs to be dry cleaned, but otherwise it works for me. I guess it's a good thing I plan on wearing a cardigan over top of the dress for the most part of its wearing, but even if I didn't the bunch in the back isn't that bad. I mean I get it's annoying-ness and how unflattering it is, BUT HELLO! Go get it tailored! That is what they are there for! DUH! And thank goodness, AND THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I WILL EVER SAY THIS, for my awkward and absolutely shitty weightless of my lady-friends. I used to be a health 38C, and yesterday I tried on a 38B and cried a tear. Yay for losing weight, the healthy way, but BOO for losing most in just my upper body... but hey, the dress looks good, and doesn't fit me weird like it fit everyone else. I'm a size 12 in dresses and this one fit true to size.
I most definitely recommend it!

Here are a few crap-tastic camera phone pics: 

Like I said earlier, I plan on pairing the dress with a cardigan, so the weird bunching in the back won't be seen. I tried one on with it, and the dress/cardigan combo looked fine. I'm not worried. If it does bug me, I'll definitely take the dress to the tailor.


That's all for now people; still waiting on the shoes to arrive... some day soon!
