Blue Nile Wide Polished 14k Yellow Gold Cuff Bracelet

Too bad I didn’t win the powerball on Wednesday. I’d have been able to afford this $3,450 bracelet then. At least I’m glad to see it’s actually real gold instead of gold plated. I’ve come across bracelets that cost more than this that are only gold plated. I can’t really understand the justification for such a price tag on something that’s gold plated.
Blue Nile bracelet

To be honest with you I’d probably have to have at least a half billion dollars in the bank to consider spending $3 450 on a bracelet although I can more easily excuse spending $3 450 on a bracelet than on a leather handbag. You can turn the bracelet back into bread by pawning it when you run out of money. Not so sure about the leather handbag.

I like cuff bracelets generally.

According to the Blue Nile website where this bracelet is sold it weighs 35 grams and measures 1 3/8 inches. I’m probably misinterpreting the data but when I checked a currency calculator to see how much 35 grams of gold is worth right now it told me $1 830.08 so I don’t know if the bracelet would be that great a purchase given if you bought it today then turned around and tried to sell it next week you would get $1600 less than what you paid for it.

Of course I know the price of gold changes by the second but it wouldn’t be that dramatic a change between today and next week.

How gorgeous is this runched bodice berry-pink dress from ModCloth?

I probably can’t wear this dress but if I could wear it I definitely would. I love the runched bodice and the bright pink color.

This dress is probably for a young twenties girl though so since I can only wear it in my imagination I’ll just imagine I’m 20 and I haven’t met the hubby yet and I’m still a virgin because I made a decision to save myself for “the one” when I was a little girl and I’m damned and determined to stand by that decision. I’m not going to be some little fool giving it away to any loser that comes along swearing he loves me getting myself knocked up and already a mother for nearly two years by the age of 20.

In my reality at 20 I was in fact raising a kid because I was that little fool who’d given it away to a number of losers just because they said they loved me and I was so pathetically desperate to be loved.

A 20 year old girl’s life should be filled with berry pink dresses with silver belts and occasions to wear them. Not with baby poop.

Sheer soft sky-blue tank and panties sleepwear set

Isn’t it something how we ladies have to be fashionable even while we sleep? Dudes can just throw on any old thing but even to go to bed we have be stylish especially if there’s going to be a dude getting into the bed with us.

Personally I like me a nice long white cotton nightgown; but this sheer soft sky-blue tank and panties sleepwear set is cute and I’m inclined to think the more items you have to chose from even of sleepwear the better.

So why not add this to my collection? Or in my case start my collection with this. Although I sort of imagine this being more suitable for a single girl to curl up in her bed on a Saturday night and read a good book. It’s girly and sweet and innocent.

If there’s going to be a dude in your bed who’s probably going to want to soil you you might as well forego the nightie altogether. He might rip it in his haste to get to the target.

Where would I wear a coat like this?

My life is so uneventful. I’d have to pretend to be someone with a life to envision myself wearing this coat. I’d have to be unattached and playing the dating game. When you become a Mrs. unless you marry up the social ladder you don’t have too many occasions to get dolled up and go out.

So I’m single and dating or maybe I’m not dating. Why should I need to be dating? A woman should have a period in her life that’s for her and about her about self discovery. She should be able during this period to go places alone or with her girlfriends and enjoy a fulfilled life of activity.

I will be moving to a new state in a couple of months and will be experiencing the kind of weather that will require scarves.

I haven’t had to wear a scarf since leaving New York a number of years ago. I have absolutely nothing in my wardrobe that is suitable for winter climate so I’ll be having to pick up a few things.

As chunky infinity scarves go this one looks very cute. I’ve seen some that look very bulky and uncomfortable but this one looks quite fashionable and not bulky at all. Hopefully that’s not an indication that it might not work as well to keep you warm.

This would go perfectly with some black trousers and black pumps or maybe leopard print pumps or maybe even red pumps?

Or maybe khaki or brown pants would work better than black? Guess it would depend on where you’re going.

Animal print takes confidence to wear usually. So do sheer tops and this is a sheer top so even while I like it and would buy it I’d probably only throw it on some day when I feel like dressing up and taking pictures of myself.

Here’s an outfit idea with the top and some $500 leather pants $700 bangle bracelet and $1200 leather hobo bag.

1930s-inspired navy hat from ModCloth – A Sun Hat Called Desire

I don’t see myself sitting under a tree in the park being whispered into a “drowsy languor” by “heavy rays of sun” while wearing this hat. I see myself strolling through a beautiful garden on a perfectly lovely day bright skies cool temperatures.

I’m wearing a long cotton dress that feels nice and soft and keeps me cool and I’m feeling wonderfully happy. I’m twenty and I’m still a virgin. There has been no Pierre no Mr. Nameless because oh my god did I really let that (grimace of shame inducing), creature take my virginity? What was wrong with me? Oh yeah that never happened. I’m twenty and I’m still a virgin and I’m walking through a beautiful garden wearing my cute 100% paper hat that only cost me $25 which I happened to have and was able to buy my hat because I didn’t eff the crap out of my life and end up a grown adult woman who can’t even afford a $25 hat. (In reality I don’t really own this hat. I actually don’t have the $25 for it.),

I don’t really have a need for a bag that will take me from my “early morning Lit Theory” class until my “evening Ethics class dismisses” at the moment but I still like the look of this bag.

The fact that it looks like real leather speaks to the quality I think.

Or am the only one thinking it looks like real leather? In that case I guess my statement speaks to my inability to spot fake leather a mile away” which gives away the truth about me. I’ve never owned a real leather bag in my life.

Lanvin Silk off-shoulder dress by arielles featuring 18k jewelry

This dress would look great on me; but I wouldn’t have any occasion to wear a dress that costs $1″ 615. I really think that designer things are outrageously and unnecessarily expensive. This is a gorgeous dress but why should it cost $1 615? Okay so it’s washed silk does that really and truly justify the price?

I know that for some people $1 615 is probably cheap but I’m not sure if I had millions I’d pay $1,615 for a dress. Maybe it’s my background and lifetime of poverty that makes me think this way. If I’d been born into wealth I might probably think differently.

Not sure where one would wear this outfit. I was thinking of it as being a work outfit when I was putting it together but I’m not sure if it’s generally considered okay to wear red stilettos or a red leather jacket to work.

The top is a burgundy satin sleeveless blouse from The Row.

The skirt is a chocolate 100% goat suede skirt from Ralph Lauren.

The jacket is a Giorgio Brato red leather jacket.

The bag is a crocodile-embossed satchel from Michael Kors and the bracelet is a brown and red rosewood gold set fire agate cuff from The Branch.

It would cost you a total of $6 216 to get the top skirt bag bracelet and jacket. If you have that kind of money to spend on a single outfit I’m totally jealous of you. I can’t afford anything in this set.
