i feel daring, which means i think i'm going to attack a black dress i never wear with scissors. see, this dress is meant to be ankle-length, but it's for people with short legs. i never wear it because it hits at just the wrong length and also because it's black with giant blue lillies on it. anyway, the print is pretty, if the cut is boring, and what better occasion for such a dress than a funeral? (the odds are good i'll be going to one next weekend.) i'm thinking, chop off the opaque underdress at hip length, slit the rayon up to the hip on one side, make a band into a long scarfy waistband and turn the bottom into a wrap skirt with long trailing scarfy ends. am not sure about the logistics, though. must ponder more. rayon unravels v/ quickly, but is it really worth the trouble to double-hem everything if i'm only planning to wear it once? is it even acceptable to wear an unhemmed dress for your great-grandmother's funeral?

also, i successfully resisted the urge to buy a cute little denim bag. it took about twenty minutes, but i survived. also, did not get a swimsuit, which is probably just as well.

That takes uber-willpower not to buy cute little purses. I don't even *buy* them and I have about six. I don't know how I get them. Birthdays, random presents.

My binge buying that I can't remember because I was too excited about buying tons of crap, maybe...
