Quick, somebody convince me I don't need this.

(I don't, I really don't. When would I ever wear it? I'm trying to get rid of impractical stuff. It would be covered in unremovable cat fur in 15 seconds.)

It's beautiful. If you need some fabulous and it works out financially et al, get it and wear it around because it make you happy.

Plus, there's lint brushes.

You always find the coolest clothes!

Enabler!

You need
You need in green (think it would look better on you)
but only if you clean out a bunch of other stuff and have the $$$$

Then you come up here for a weekend, I'll have my outfit by then and we can do something I've never done and go to the opera.

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

You do need that. Cat fur brushes off... eventually. :-)

[geekchick]

You, sir, aren't helping.

[geekchick]

Well, the red would be okay if it's a blue-toned red. If it's orange-y, it would look terrible on me. Green is usually safe though.

And yes, this would only be feasible if I get rid of a bunch of my other impractical stuff first.

Opera? *perk* Do tell.

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

Well duh!! ;-)

He's really good at helping pick out clothes (he's even been known to tell me when something doesn't suit me)

[geekchick]

Sadly, I get their email updates. ;) There's also this, and this (which I could at least wear more than occasionally).

[geekchick]

I've promised myself to think about it if I first get rid of some of the other impractical stuff sitting in my closets. =)

[geekchick]

he's even been known to tell me when something doesn't suit me

He's a keeper. ;)

Thank you soooo much for posting this -- my girlfriend loves victorian finery and I promised that she would get some goodies along those lines at some indeterminate point in the future.

This makes it so much easier.

Opera? *perk* Do tell.

It's something I've never done and always wanted to. One of my goals is to get out to things like the theater, symphony and stuff along these lines.

Most of the people I know are not into any of that so it makes it very difficult to get motivated.

[geekchick]

Glad to help. =)

[geekchick]

I am always happy to play opera or theater companion for friends if they can't find anyone else interested.

Go for the gown. And you might be able to get the riding jacket in a pattern that matches some of the punk/plaid type skirts I've seen @ Torrid.

[geekchick]

You're the one who's supposed to really be talking me out of it, not encouraging me to go for even more items. ;)

[wolfy.livejournal.com]

I knew you would be, 'tis why I brougth it up.

We need to plan a NY trip at somepoint and hit the shows.

As for the Opera I would have no idea where to begin to look (probably another reason I haven't gone).

Closer to my home:

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

I want the first one in blue. And I want the whole outfit on the second one!!

Enabler!!!

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

Yes, he is. Although I'm happy to lend him out, providing there's a suitable damage deposit...

[nminusone.livejournal.com]

Well, if you want to be talked out of it, that first thing gave me a big old yawn. I'm not at all clear it'd flatter your figure either. The gown is the only one I actually like; I think that's quite nice. Get one that matches the purple wig o'sassiness and go see Marie Antoinette.

If you're just looking to spend $500 on clothes I can find a lot of other things I'd much rather see you in. And some of them you could even wear without needing a costume ball to go to!

[wolfy.livejournal.com]

So when we going? :)

[geekchick]

To which one?

[wolfy.livejournal.com]

All of them.

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

*blush* :-)

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

Among all the links, I like the riding jacket best. :-)

[nminusone.livejournal.com]

You could have a form, like with rental cars, where you mark the existing damage before he goes out and any (hopefully!) new damage after he comes back...

And I could tell you about the 4-color rule but I might get in trouble with geekchick.

[easy-living.livejournal.com]

You have a four-color rule too? Damn, I thought I'd invented that one for free_of_whip.

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

With or without crop and boots??

[nminusone.livejournal.com]

You did, I meant you! I was halfway thru typing that when I realized I wasn't sure if that kind of content was ok... so I left it awfully vague. :)

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

It's a pretty high damage deposit - I bruise easily (physically, anyway). ;-)

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

I'll have to ask you about the 4-color-rule when I'm out there in May :-)

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

Who said anything about money???

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

How many of them could she wear in public?

[nminusone.livejournal.com]

Plenty of them! You can wear most anything in public as long as you have something on over it.

[geekchick]

Oy. =)

[nminusone.livejournal.com]

Actually for $500 I'm sure there'd be a couple perfectly mundane items too. But even if there weren't you can wear pretty much anything on the outside nowadays if you're careful. Which brings me to something I never thought I'd say: Thank you Madonna!
