Busy weekend

Friday - visitation at Contentment chapter in Dedham.

Saturday - shoppingses. Help me fight temptation re: whether I "need" this dress from Nordstrom Rack. It's changeable pink and grey silk, it's more than 50% off, it's a sz 12!





Saturday night - dinner at Gargoyles with [livejournal.com profile] learnedax and [livejournal.com profile] cat9, then onward to the Steeleye Span concert. (OMG The first time I saw them perform was in 1986 at Nightstage.) Ran into many people we knew from many contexts - the McANultys, the Traites, Marsy's mom, a colleague of [livejournal.com profile] jducoeur's uncle Bob. We stayed and got Maddy and Peter to autograph the booklet of the new CD.

Sunday - apple picking on an utterly perfect autumn day. What a fabulous tradition!!

Late afternoon - while [livejournal.com profile] judcoeur got the new mailbox installed, I hauled the old dead freezer out to the curb for the city appliance recycling pickup.

I think so.
While it's more than 50% off due to some shop wear, I could probably still buy two other things for the same price. (I don't buy Designer stuff; I am not a label slave.)

Right now I'm putting it through the "if I still am thinking about it in a couple days, and it's still there when I go back to the shop, then it's fate" test.

It's probably still expensive.

If memory serves, it's not a color you could wear for Eastern Star right now.

Weather's getting colder and the sleeves (or lack thereof) are cut for warmer weather. The styling of the neckline would likely be hidden by and/or look awkward with a wrap.

But if it's still there when you go back, you can reconsider. :)

I can wear any color I please for Eastern Star, though there are certain nights when it's considered a compliment to the guest of honor to wear a specific color, or an initiation night which requires white.

Sexy isn't good for Star though.

Thanks for the ammo for helping me convince myself I don't need this one. We'll see if I even go back to check on it.

I find the ruffle over one boob to be weirdly distracting. It looks like it's eating her breast.

If it's still there, when you try it on again take a good hard look at the hipline. The photo model is standing like a sulky child -- does that line flatter your (better) posture?
