Sometimes I get so busy doing nothing, that it’s all I can do to keep up! It’s a tough life these days.
Which is why I was thinking it might be nice to treat myself to something a little luxurious and a little unexpected. My first “me treat” was this hideous Loretta Lynn-inspired layer dress from the Seattle Goodwill. I have a weird thing for ballgowns. I am not sure if this is a gown or a costume, but I am going to go with gown and damnit, I will find a place to wear it if it kills me! Plus, for $6.95, even ugly things are a steal!
Then I wrote this whole big thing about all the other great things I got at the Goodwill, and all these other great finds I tackled online and MY COMPUTER CRASHED. So here we are. I am too mad to start over so I will just say “me treat” #2 from the Goodwill was a gorgeous 80’s Diane Von Furstenburg dress (shoulder pads intact!) for another bank breaking $6.95.
The other great things I found online centered around “green” designer Deborah Lindquist who makes everything from fun flirty clothes to…dog sweaters…and wedding dresses?! For reals!
Most of her clothes are made of organic cotton, peace silk and hemp; some pieces are made of recycled cashmere so know how you feel about that. For those of us in the PacNorthwest, where stores don’t seem to carry her clothes, we can all order this same dress online and come up with a secret PVT handshake for when we see eachother on the steet.
