One dress, two creatures



I apologize for my lack of posting yesterday. The truth is, I was quite distressed by an encounter I had yesterday afternoon with a very distraught puppy who looked like my favorite dog ever. Then, after I was able to think a bit more clearly without feeling the need to cry, I was occupied with discovering the past life of one of my favorite designers. And when I realized it was time to go to work, I planned on typing out a post on my break, but, alas, the Internet was down all day due to a cut line. So it goes.

I still can't stop thinking about that puppy though. And the aforementioned designer's past life. And somehow, this amazing dress by ledthread is relevant for both creatures. For the puppy, I might have felt like I could have done something to fix those sad eyes if I had been wearing it, as the gold chiffon peaking through makes me think I could suddenly reveal my superwoman alter ego when it's needed for such a situation. And for the designer, I think it perfectly symbolizes her move from a career where she always had to look fabulous and put together (dress done up, as on left), to a career where she feels free and much much happier, but is still pretty darn fabulous (dress worn loose and untied, as on right).

Phewf!!! Now onto...Closet sale!


Crisis averted/false alarm. I was so wound up that I'm not feeling total relief, but I can slowly try to calm myself down now. Back to normal life now (albeit with a bum leg)!

Tipped off by Queen Michelle and inspired by Cats & Dogs, I've been thinking about opening my own blog shop. I really am not a fan of ebay, in part because of their fees and their shoppers' under-/non-appreciation of handmade clothing. I have a few things I've bought off of Etsy that I no longer wear/have never worn, but I can't sell them on Etsy since I did not make them myself. So I'm thinking perhaps I should offer them to you, my readers, who read this blog because of your love of handmade fashion. Right now, I want to let go of the following (click on description links for original Etsy listings):
Until I get a shop set up, let me know if any of these items interest you. I'll take any offers until I get some proper listings going, and offer $5 shipping worldwide (payment through Paypal). I'll also consider trades! I'm usually a size medium/large, I love any shade of green, and I'm currently obsessed with scarves (particularly of the Necklush variety right now). Depending on the offer/my mood, I might even consider parting with my Lorimarsha London Calling dress (never worn, was $178)...but possibly not.
