I've decided I was a lounge diva in a past life. I continue to buy impractical things that a) I can't really wear to work, and b) that I won't normally wear when I'm just hanging with friends. I am buying all kinds of fancy shit that is both flashy and on sale. Today's purchase was......a silver suit. I was just going to buy the skirt because it is cute, and I thought I could get away with wearing a silver skirt to work; in fact, I thought it might brighten things up a bit there. Then, the saleswoman pulled out two other matching pieces: a short jacket, and a kind of bustier thing. She successfully convinced that I needed the SET and that I could wear the pieces separately or together to work, to a wedding, to a baptism. Yes, she mentioned baptism. Even though I can't recall being invited to a baptism, I was sucked into the sales spiel. But, I have the silver suit here, and I love it!
I was happy with my last silver clothing purchase, too. I assumed that one was mid-life crisis-induced. I'm not sure what this one is all about... So, any weddings, baptisms or other fancy events out there that any of you would like to invite me to?

It is because you live and breath Astronaut Love Triangle. I keep adding to my collection of silver and shiny tops and accessories because of Astronaut Love Triangle. I now own silver fishnet stockings, a silver belt, a long silver dress, a short silver dress, 3 shiny silver or sparkly tops, and a 2 silver scarves. I'll show you mine if you show me yours...
I passed over two $15 silver bolero jackets today.
I may have to go back and get them...I just got overwhelmed with the suit purchase. You may be right, Manny Blue. Yes, let's display our silver goods!
No fancy event...but how about that wine date? I could wear my silver sparkly earings. Think of the "effect" we'd present to all the undoubtedly delighted onlookers?!
Well once the fetus bursts forth we'll be having a fake-baptismal with photos to send to the religious grandparents several provinces over...
Tiana - PERFECT! This is the perfect suit for a fake baptism!!!
Harmony - I think you are right. I just need to wear the thing out, and wear it proudly.
Wow Aggie, you sure work fast. First Dave G., and then Larry O next, right?
Oh, I would love to be able to take credit for that one.
Well, as my friend, Ms. Army Pants, pointed out to me, we don't need to do anything. They are going to cause their own downfall. Good point.
