Girl!crisis!

[kangeiko]

It's the New Year's party tomorrow, and I have NOTHING TO WEAR. Do not mock me. I have come home to find:

- row after row of formal evening wear, silks and velvets and slinky dresses glaore, all completely unsuitable for a house party,
- drawer after drawer of cashmere sweaters and cardigans, so impossibly cute in the shops, so fumpy if worn after 6pm,
- row after row of black or charcoal 40s dresses that have done the job for house parties and drinks down the pub.

My wardrobe consists of work clothes, red carpet or Sunday afternoons. Or 40s dresses in mourning colours. Why? Why have I purchased only darks? I love reds! And greens! And even blues, on occasion! My work clothes are a veritable rainbow! Why the hell are my party clothes so bloody subdued????

Emergency shopping trip tomorrow to hopefully address this crisis. *panics*

Your Christmas present was awaiting when I got back to Munich today - thank you! Also thanks for the card, and much love, and happy new year!

You are very welcome, darling. Happy New Year! *smooch*

what about 40s charcoal dress with impossibly cute cashmere thrown over the top?

I should have gone out and bought a red sparkly thing this afternoon, from long tall sally. It was even in the sale. But it was raining and I have a cold so the party will just have to cope with me wearing something I have worn before. Damn it.

I ended up doing that, in fact. Must go slightly mental in the January sales - I got some lovely stuff last year & the year before, let's make it a hat-trick...

See, this is the problem to effective shopping: the bastard weather. Who wants to trawl around shops all day when it's chucking it down, I ask you. But, on the other hand, I am reliably informed that a few beautiful pieces are much better than ten million 'on trend' pieces of tat... at least, that's what the books say... *sigh*
