ah my good old buddy 2nd guessing has returned. And my monkey mind can stop thinking I'm the uber wimp for closing the store today.

Nothing like shoveling to make me see how little upper body strength I have.
Waaaaa, back to shoveling round three. Then house cleaning which I'm actually in the mood for. Weird.
 
 
Current Mood: annoyed

It says all over on my website that LaraCorsets is by appointment only. I make it deliberately difficult to find my exact address and I even explain that I work out of my home and am not a store.

I just got a call from a woman who is on the way and wanted to confirm my location.

I am in my "hang around the house" comfy clothes, scooping the cat litter box and there is over 14" of snow outside.

I told her I was by appointment only, not a store and do custom work from my home.
I jokingly said that if she shows up now she'll catch me in my pajamas.
I asked what she was looking for and she got off the phone quickly.

Aw well.

Back to my Sunday cleaning then.

Unfortunately all the people I went to high school with are very religious and republican. I don't know why I became the only liberal out of all of them but I know I never fit in with those people and wonder why they even added me on facebook. I didn't add them, they added me first. There are a few cool people on my facebook but they are artists or people I met at Outland, they aren't from my past. The people from my past I don't find interesting, none of them are artists and all they talk about is god bless this and god bless that. Sometimes I wonder if a lot of people are sneezing or something. So I am wondering if I should put this on my facebook just to piss them all off except the cool people. It is not like I am ever going to get together with those people. I despised my high school and the people there, I ended up at the vocational school just to get away from them. Maybe I am the wacko but I just don't fit in with them and don't even like facebook too much. I like livejournal better because you can write a blog and not just about what you're doing at the moment. And sorry to anyone that leaves me comments here, I do read them in my email and mean to reply but of course I forget, I tend to be lazy about replies but I do read your comments. Well here is the button which is weird because I was thinking about this exact issue last night.

I am bummed out. Anthropologie canceled my order for this shirt because they ran out...now all I am getting from them is the candle holder.

I am also getting a cold or something. My head is stuffed a bit and my whole body feels heavy.

Newly photographed and studied, here is a corset the average lady of the 1890s might buy at the local shop:

I have not been doing a ton of shopping lately but rather I have been clearing out a lot of stuff in my closet in an attempt to make room for some more QUALITY stuff. I am trying to think...less stuff but better quality. If I order something and it isn't REALLY good..it has been getting sent back. I realize that it sounds like I shop a lot..but I really don't. I HATE malls and I don't really like shopping in stores. Most of by buys are online. Although they opened an Anthropologie in Milwaukee and I am dying to go someday.



I saw a similar hat on my friend Amy in her Facebook profile picture..and I fell in love with it. I love LOVE love vintage stuff and antiques and have decided to edge my personal style more towards that then it has been in the past. When I was younger wearing things of that nature made me feel costume-y but now wearing Hot Topic-esque punky gothy stuff makes me feel costume-y.



This skirt and the hat are both from Urban Outfitters. I am not sure if the high waist will work on me at all..but it's worth a try.



I bought this from American Eagle Outfitters. I NEEDED a black cardigan that was more snug fitting than all of the too large ones that I currently have. It's a nice chunky knit and I love it. If they go on sale some more and I can find codes I want to order the navy blue one and maybe the cream one as well.



I ordered this candle holder from Anthropologie. It fits in with my teal and red room and it was only $3.98 on sale. They have blue ones as well. I read that they are the size of a coffee mug.



I ordered this from Anthro as well..from the clearance section. I think that the picture is rather small..they are sold out now and I could only find a picture of it in my invoice.

Also..I am sorry that I complain a lot. I need to work on changing that.
