Midsummer Success

Alrighty alrighty alrighty...

I know you have all been dying to know what I wore to my Midsummer fancy shmancy thingy.

Well I had the shoes that were totally awesome!

Then I had to find an outfit.

I went to a store called White House Black Market. Which I think stands for "You will have to sell your house or kidneys on the black market to afford anything we carry!"

Well I went to WHBM on the advice of a friend who works there.

I had talked to someone during the day and told them I was going to go to WHBM in the morning to get myself an outfit for my schmancy thingy. This person, obviously not a very bright one, told me that I should try someplace else because this particular store won't have anything to fit me. Actually I think the quote went like this...

"Kim, I know you have lost some pounds but I don't believe you are in the sizes they carry."

Some pounds?? Try 148 pounds biotch!!

So I waltz into WHBM thinking maybe that chicka was right. Maybe I am too fat for this store. So far, I have only seen skinny girls walk in and I am in no means skinny. I actually thought I should walk out go to Starbucks around the corner and wallow in my skinny latte. I even thought maybe I'll just order myself a full fat Caramel Frappachino! Yeah that's what I needed... a venti 500+ calorie drink to make me feel better!

Then I snapped out of my funk and opened the heavy glass doors and walked inside.  WHBM is an appropriate name because everything is white & black but there are a few spashles of color mixed in.

My friend had already set aside some things for me to try on. Some were L and some were XL. She showed me this sleeveless shirt that I LOVED. (For me to LOVE sleeveless should tell you this shirt was awesome!) However, I did mention that sleeveless shirts and my flag arms don't go together so she found me a sweater shrug that was so cute. Then came the necklace, bracelet and earrings to match. I loved all the pieces. It occured to me as I was being rung out that I never looked at the prices. I NEVER do that but today I did.

Sleeveless shirt... $78
Cute sweater shrug...$78
Necklace.... $78
Bracelet...$54
Earrings....$24

OUCH!!

So you know what I did? I put the bracelet back!

What can I say, when you look in the mirror and see some hot momma looking back then there is no way you are not buying what you have on!

I celebrated by having lunch at Mexican Inn.
YUCK! Bad mistake! I think I should become a food reviewer next........
