The One That Got Away...

Have you ever looked at something a couple of times, gone back and forth, ummed and aaahed, then finally made up your mind to go ahead and buy it, only to find someone has beaten you to it?

Oh the misery!

Here is the object of my covetous desire:

While waiting for an answer from an overseas seller on the postage options available, someone else snatched this one away from me.

I even have the shoes to go with it!

To make matters worse, I have a looming deadline for an important event where not only am I a VIP, but the theme is "Vintage Glamour". I almost cried as I kicked myself for not buying it yesterday, when it still could have been mine.

I'm off to lie down and have a Bex. Maybe drown my misery in Champagne. *sniff*

It makes me want to know Kittens: how do you make yourself feel better when you've had a less than perfect day? I'm in dire need of inspiration!

Things That Make You Go Arrrgh!

Sigh. Today is one of those days.

You know the one: you over-sleep, forget your lunch, the traffic is a nightmare and the boom gates to the parking are not working.

You end up running late for your first meeting of the day and then someone points out this:

ARRRRRRG! How did I not notice this? While I understand that it is not the end of the world and more of an annoyance, it took away from my black skirt with the cute pleats at the back:

"Dry you eyes, Princess" I told myself sternly. After all, it isn't the most embarrassing fashion misfortune to befall you. That award is strictly reserved for the time I wore a cute LBD I bought in Italy to an awards dinner that should have been accompanied by Hollywood tape to keep "the girls" contained..... but that's another story!
