I'm in spending jail for 60 days and I'm going to get dressed about it. Come along with me!

Does anyone else spend a million years deliberating over certain articles of clothing, only to get them home and not be totally in love with them? But then also, sometimes you grab something on impulse, totally expecting to regret it and beat yourself up over it, only to have it be one of your favorite items? Yeah, this dress is the second thing. I'm obsessed with how the cotton crinkles and the full skirt is amazing. It's my first Kate Spade (RIP) piece and why didn't anyone tell me about these amazing zippers?! It goes up like butter. It's a bit roomy in the bust, but I've come to expect that as a card carrying member of the tiny ribcage club. I may get it tailored in the future, but for now, I'm really just enjoying the extra space.

Has anyone tried out the new Snag 30 denier pantyhose? I may have bought 3 pairs... this particular color is the Lemon and they are solving my "how to wear tights in the summer without dying of heat stroke" problem quite nicely. The polyamide still isn't that breathable but I'm willing to suffer in order to have highlighter yellow legs.

I bought this belt because it was in stupendous condition and the best shade of pink, but it ended up being too big for me so I used a leather hole punch and a tape measure to fashion a few new holes and I think it looks good? Of course I just found a very similar but perhaps even better actually leather version on Lucky Vintage IN MY EXACT SIZE so I'm kicking myself a bit. Anyone need a pink belt? I can't believe it's 20+ years old. We really have made enough stuff to last us several lifetimes on this planet 😬
