This dress is a recent re-acquisition. I bought several years ago for $10 at the thrift store in Montpelier because it was so awesome, but then I never wore it because I thought it was "too big." Actually, I think perhaps it was just "too transparent" (before I owned a slip). Whatever the reason, I ended up giving it to my friend S before I abandoned her in Portland, Oregon. This is why I can never give any of my clothes away! Suddenly last week I thought about it and how lovely and cute it was, and I asked her if I could borrow it (luckily she's since followed my footsteps back to Vermont). She said she never wears it so I could just have it back--and voila! This pretty, delicate dress finally gets some time in the spotlight! I don't know what on Earth I was thinking... it fits perfectly!

So, you've probably noticed that I trimmed my bangs last night (after enjoying a delicious man-made meal of chili&cheese baked potatoes--mmyes--and the first disk of Big Love:S3 [finally out on Netflix!]). I think I was getting a little too cocky about my trimming skills... I went a little hog-wild with the scissors and the fringe is a bit shorter than I had envisioned. Also I accidentally trimmed my right eyebrow in the chopping frenzy, so thank god for the miracle of eyeliner pencil.

What will this evening bring? It's a mystery. Actually, it's not really much of a mystery... it will probably bring a whole lot of me&K doing a whole lot of nothing much. Probably a continuation of the apartment search--we're looking for a two-bedroom in Burlington because our lease is up April 1st! Yikes! I want: hardwood floors, fireplace, porch, bigbig windows and a bigbig kitchen... dogs allowed. But I suppose I could maaaaaybe settle for some combination of those things. Maybe.
