Buying stuff



I know I’ve been posting a lot about clothes and shopping, but whatever I’m into clothes and shopping right now alright? Get off my back.

So sometimes I make wardrobe declarations. I usually make them in my head, and in my head I can see the exclamation mark at the end. Like this, my latest one, “I’m only wearing baggy v-necks and denim shorts this summer!” But then I was like, “Self, you can’t wear that to work idiot.” But I’ve been buying lots of baggy v-necks anyway, take that self. This gray one is from Forever 21, you should buy it, it’s really comfy. I’m also on the hunt for gladiator sandals, I want both these pair if you’re feeling generous. Or even if you’re not feeling generous, just buy them for me and stop being selfish. But I wonder if gladiator sandals have been around too long now, and I’ve missed the train. But I just barely decided I like them. Sometimes I’m not that fashion forward and I have to grab up trends on the tail end and it gives me lots of anxiety.

Also I made another wardrobe declaration a couple months ago to Malia and it was, “I’m going to start dressing like Ashley Olsen!” But it’s been hard because I don’t have a stylish twin or billions of dollars.

Okay I totally agree with the jumping on the end of the fashion bandwagon thing. I will finally decide to buy something and my sisters are all "Wow, that took you two years to get used to and decide to do." So basically I buy things right before they aren't cool anymore. Whatev.

Ashley Olsen looks like a transient.

I will buy you gladiator sandals.

I actaully got the bottom right sandals in brown...I love them you should get them. and speaking of Ashley Olsen I wanted to watch one of her and Mary Kate's remarkable cinema performances the other day,"When in Rome", and Courtney said no. It's kinda funny when I'm 8 years older than my sister and she is too mature for the movies that I feel like watching.

Those exact sandals were hot in 1985, too. Funny.

"because I don’t have a stylish twin or..."


Is "stylish" the new way to say "addicted to coke"?

Dear Tartraz -

One of my favorite things that you do on your blog is "The Jihone Transcripts” Does this Jihone character have a blog? Because if so, I'd like to read it. You guys are hilarious!!

Oh Erica you make me laugh! I often find myself on your blog just for a "pick me up"....You are too fUnNy!

No fan of the gladiator sandals myself...but Erica could pull it off. Maybe I am just not young and hip anymore. That's what happens when you have kids...
