I won't go on about my job here. This will be my promise. Should I eventually get readers, I will not complain and whine and mope about my day job, unless I actually get my life together and enter a career that might slightly resemble happiness.

But for now, know that my job is:
a) sometimes good
b) sometimes bad
c) sometimes really bad to the point where I cry in the bathroom
d) sometimes, in one day, all of the above

When my day is option d, it's time to hide under the blankets and shop.

Modcloth will forever and always be a form of salvation. My first purchase was a very kitsch, very awesome floral halter dress that I wore to a work do. A friend had given me a gift voucher and it was the start of something amazing.

Despite the eye-roll inducing names at times, this A Tearose for Two dress is everything I could possibly want for the impending spring/summer horror loveliness. Add in a couple of weddings in September, a high-tea I'm planning (if I can ever get my garden in shape) and any other excuse necessary to justify buying a dress*, this is quite perfect. At only around $50US (with $11 shipping to Australia), even if the quality isn't amazing, it's still a pretty sweet (hee) deal.

And guess what? I'm feeling a lot better now. Retail therapy = success!


(*note that excuses are not actually necessary.)
