You shall not get me down, rain!
Despite the rain, I am on a mission to find the perfect grey suede boots today. I am determined to find them, so I can get over The Great Boot Disappointment of 2009. I'm feeling pretty chipper, though, because I'm wearing my new Le Sac dress that I got from the American Apparel outlet yesterday. After seeing it on my friend Emmy and after reading this post from The Hipstercrite, I haven't stopped thinking about it, even though it is, essentially a pillow case with string:
occasion: retail therapy!
le sac dress: american apparel
shirt: inc
thick knit thigh highs (scrunched down): american apparel
boots: costco
umbrella: costco
Is the universe about to implode? I'm about to do retail therapy to get over a shopping disappointment. I plan to cure a bad shopping experience with *gasp* even more shopping. Dang. That's messed up!
P.S.
I haven't had the chance to play around with my new dress, yet, but after I do, I'm sure I'll make a video not unlike my infamous Circle Scarf how-to video.
P.P.S.
If you're the sewing type (which I hope to become next year), you can make your own Le Sac without having to pay $30+ for it. Simple instructions HERE and HERE.

I love that first shot....looks like a snap from a classic film! (singing in the rain, perhaps?) Oh darn, now you've just made me crave a viewing of that movie (unlucky, since I won't be home for several.....several...more hours). You've also made me miss the rain. Don't shun it! You're lucky to have it!
You look great! I love the combo of colors and patterns and the fact that you got your umbrella and boots at costco - i've never shopped there for anything but food and paper supplies - i should check out their apparel! - Natalya of Wear Necessities
I know, isn't the rain gross?
I love the interplay of colors in this outfit. I also love that you linked to some tutorials - I'm going to go check those out right now!
PLEASE make a video soon! I've had mine for a year and I haven't worn it at all!!
