Sarah and Friends

Cute dress! Hmm... can you wear it with a belt? How long is your hair?

Hmm it's too hard to see in the photo. I'll have to see it in person. But
from what I can tell, it fits fine...

You can check on Saturday as a break from loading/unloading! I'll drag it
in my purse.

yay fun! you can look at all my clothes and tell me what's worth keeping
and what's not, as well.

AND this weekend is the gap/BR 30% off coupon if you want to head to the
outlet malls.....

how do you live without accessories??

I can try, although our tastes differ. We'll see how it goes and if not
return to the basic load/unload plan.

I'd love to go to the outlets, but we'll do what helps you most. The new
outlets look nice, similar selection to Williamsburg's Prime Outlets. Where
is Tinton Falls?

Re the coupon: I haven't forgetten. :) I'm already plotting how I can go
to all the appropriate places with the coupon starting Thursday. :) I will
definitely hit up Gap Body.

I'm not good at accessorizing, in case you haven't noticed. I carry the
same bag everyday. I do have my jewelry, I'm just missing belts, scarves,
etc.

There are new outlets in Tinton Falls:

Not all of the stores will be open yet (BR in particular) but we should go
sometime....

I'm sure I could wear it with a belt, if I ever found one that satisfied me.
All my accessories are in Mechanicsville to be handled b/c of the bug
thing. I actually kind of need my gloves back... Brr.

My hair is at the top of my chest. Why do you ask?

It looks like it fits well to me. What matters most is how you feel when you wear it. Hautelook is my favorite. They are having a contest right now people can enter to win their own private screening of the new movie Australia, starring Nicole Kidman and High Jackman, in any city in America. Fox, who produced the movie, will rent out a theater and host a private screening for the winner and 50 of their friends and family. They will provide refreshments and take over the entire movie theater!

Thank you! That would be an awesome contest to win... I need some more
glamour in my life. :)

So what's the word on this dress? Did J approve?

It kind of drapes funny- it's blouson on the back but not on the front, so
on the side it makes her look too wide. i suggested taking in the
shoulders- literally stitching a new shoulder seam so that the blouson is
more even front and back. not sure if she's going to do this or not.

also i don't like this dress with rainboots. or anything with rainboots
after dark on a weekend. :)

Ha, what's wrong with rain boots?

nothing when you are going to work.

but going out on a saturday night....not so much. ;)

Even with the rain?! Necessary evil.

I just ordered the cutest rainboots! Waiting for them to arrive from
Australia :) Look up moovboots. Their website is annoying but I'm sure I
will post pictures when they arrive. I know they shipped out but I don't
have a tracking number so no clue when they will be here.

Summary of the concept: Moovboots combine the Wellies exterior and Uggs
interior for a fashion forward option when dealing with brutal cold, wet
weather.

Sounds perfect, no?

hmm. i seem to have the opposite opinion on these boots.

1) ugg interior = hot sweaty mess. no breathing, just absorbing sweat into
a hot stinky mess.

2) there are cuter rainboots i've seen, with more of a shaped, pointy toe.

rainboots look cute with jeans tucked into them. maaaybe w/ a mini skirt in
a school-girl-ish kind of way.

Rainboots with a pointy toe just don't seem right.

they're rainboots but stylish. rainboots w/ a cute dress just doesn't seem
right. ;)

I've seen it pulled off. I guess we have different styles.

Ew on rainboots with pointy toes. I have never seen a pair I thought were
cute.

I am going to keep it and eventually make the alteration. Jamie confirmed
my thought that it was too long in the torso for me, although she recognizes
it as a design flaw rather than a Sarah's figure v. dress flaw.

It would have been FINE with rainboots and burgundy tights I swear. It was
hot that night at Lara's. I had to take off my boots anyway. Thank
goodness I had 4 pairs of socks and was able to change at your house.
