GAP KID

(is it just me, or do these animals all look taxidermied?)

I got sucked in by the "Extra 50% Off Already On Sale Items" sale at Gap the other day. Damn you Gap for having me on your promotions email list! Of course i didn't exactly need any of these, but that will pretty much always be the case for me. My closet will never cease to overflow into every spare inch of the house. And no, i'm not going to apologies for that. . .

Because when Halloween arrives, or an impromptu cocktail party, guess whose closet my friends love to rummage ? Mine. I always grew up with a massive dress-up box (more like a way cool antique wooden chest) in the middle of my living room and I love that my closet is an adult manifestation of that. (ps my parents still have the stocked dress-up box in their living room. and i still plow through it every now and then).

Anyway, i'm a crazy thrifty shopper (my friends rarely dare ask where i got something because they know my response will probably be "oh, it was $2 at the Goodwill. . . or "i found it on the sidewalk outside my house") so accumulating a lot of clothing doesn't have much of an impact on my wallet (though sometimes Eric's sanity is compromised).

Got this pleated mustard skirt i'd been eyeing for a while for $7.99 Fuck Yeah

Blouse with built in bow. yes. my life is complete. HERE
