I'm feeling better already!

First, I fixed my shower curtain. It's been sagging for quite a while, so I mended the torn holes with duct tape and took a nice leisurely shower and washed my hair.

karaokegal posted a vid of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers at the Cheer-Up-athon, and I adore Ginger's dress! That led me to seek out the closest thing in my wardrobe, my polka-dot A-line dress. (Which I don't have a picture of.) It's not as fluttery as Ginger's dress, but fits well and I'm fond of it.

I'd heard the mail truck come around the corner a while ago, so I went out to see if anything intersting had come, and lo and behold! There on my doorstep was a box from GK! I eagerly dug into it, as her CARE packages are always a treat.

Tops: three. A demure little short-sleeved striped blouse. YES with my black trumpet skirt. A mustard-gold 3/4-sleeve top with black and metallic gold embellishment at the neckline. Yes, with black or brown pants. And a 3/4-sleeve print top...it's an all-over print on a black background, sort of abstract Asian designs. I love it the bestest, because it will go with EVERYTHING (except maybe summer).

A LBD! GK has been tantalizing me with the promise of this dress for months---apparently she acquired it just after she sent off my Christmas box---and it was worth the wait! It's by Merona (Target fashion brand), sleeveless, microfiber chiffon, a pseudo-wrap with a double ruffle, and the length is perfect, just a smidge below the knee.

There was also a baggie of assorted bits of jewelery for crafting, nothing astonishing, but I'm sure at least some of it will get repurposed.

I feel pretty, oh so pretty---!
