I get to work at the ungodly hour of 7am. Quite torturous actually. But my company is generous enough to let me take classes and accommodate to a flexible schedule so that I may pursue my innermost dreams and passions. The real kicker? The government isn’t so supportive. California raised it’s public school fees by over 30%!! Can you believe that? So the thousand students fighting their way into 1 or 2 30 student classes is more difficult than trying to get hit by lightning in a thunderstorm covered in wire hangers and foil.
ANYWAYYY, back to fashion… so as I ate my leftover subway sandwich for breakfast, I decided to take a mini-break and check out ruelala.com for their morning 8am sample sales. What do I find? French Connection is having a giant blow out sale! Now normally I would not be so easily tempted but I saw these two dresses that were GORGEOUS! Fun, flirty, girlie… PLUS if you know anything about me~ you know I am obsessed with short tube dresses paired with sky-high heels and chunky jewelry!
I quickly dropped my sandwhich and tried to purchase the navy blue dress on the left, but the 4s and 6s were sold out. BLAST! So i even vied for a size 8. SOLD! size 10? SOLD! Everytime I clicked on the available size, the cart would say EMPTY =( SO FRUSTRATING!
Eventually the Navy Blue beauties were all sold out so I made my way to the sunshine yellow dresses. Same story. size 4, SOLD. size 6, SOLD. Size 8? SOLD! UGHH eventually I ended up buying the size 10 for $49!! Originally priced at $169 =)
I woke up this morning hating the world and wishing I was a super hero who had the power to freeze time. But now…at 8:12am I’m feeling refreshed and aliiiiive =P I would also like to mention that these two dresses sold out within 10 minutes. WHAT THE HELLL?? what are the women in the U.S. DOING right now?? shouldn’t they be working!? LOL
*sigh * in any case, I wanted to share with you guys the best buy of my life. The adrenaline that was pumping through my veins is slowly fleeting and I must chug about 4 cups of coffee to feel normal~ BUT~ this has to be the best Hump Day in a LONG TIME.
Hm…Now to find matching shoes and delicate earrings to pair with this baby!
Oh right…the most IMPORTANT issue at hand…”but you’re not a size 10!” TRUE. I’m more like a 4-6. HOWEVER, my mom is the most amazing tailor who can just LOOK at fabric and the pieces sew themselves, flawlessly. Plus I have my own sewing machine now and can make the appropriate alterations to have the dress fit me like a G-L-O-V-E. =)
HAPPY HUMP DAY EVERYONE!
