Polly-O String Cheese!

Item: Tank Color/Fabric: Salmon, cotton/spandex Designer: Viola Where Purchased: Anthropologie Years owned: 2+ Tonight is a strange night. Indeed, strange.

The LBD, Part Two.

Item: Little Black Dress Color/Fabric: Black (duh) and fabric, unknown Designer: Kenneth Cole Where Purchased: kennethcole.com Years Owned: 2 Today I started to see a little glimmer of my old self, my not sad and angsty self.

Item: Sweatshirt Color/Fabric: Raisin, polyester/rayon/spandex Designer: Mossimo Where Purchased: Target Years Owned: 4 What an eventful Saturday!

Little Devil On My Shoulder.

Item: Vest Color/Fabric: Black, cotton/lycra Designer: La Rok Where Purchased: Next Boutique Years Owned: 0.5 Tonight, something of a luxury. A vest. Vests are funny.

Let’s Start At The Very Beginning.

Item: Vest/Tank Dress Combo Color/Fabric: Black, cotton Designer: Express Years Owned: 1.5 First on the agenda tonight is a clarification.
