Eureka!
I know you are dying, DYING, of curiosity to see what polish color I chose, but I did not manage to get my nails done today. I decided that if I was going to clean my apartment and car, best to do that prior to a mani-pedi. Tomorrow is another day.
But cleaning is not all that I did! Nay! I also found a shirt dress.
Soooo?, you may say. But I have been coveting the shirt dress that Chloe Sevigny wore in Last Days of Disco since 1998. Ask anyone. Ask Laurie, who has heard about this shirt dress many a time. Ask Neeta, who watched me try on an ill-fitting one in Club Monaco a few months ago.
It was the sexiest thing I'd ever seen, this shirt dress Chloe wore and the way she wore it with soft blonde hair. Shirt dresses are a little bit man, a lot of woman. Like, I'm wearing your Brooks Brothers the morning after, but it's a DRESS. Very Katherine Hepburn/Kim Basinger in 9 1/2 Weeks.
This is the only picture I could find online, and it's tiny and you can only see the neck.
And today, I FOUND MINE. It is not pale blue, as Chloe's was. First of all, because I am not stupid. I am 5'2", and she is 5'9" or something obscene like that and probably weighs only a stone more than me.
And mine is UPDATED. In truth, this makes me a little sad. I'd like to be straight 1980, the last days of disco, but I hate vintage shopping. I'll do it now and then but the hunt tries my patience.
Anyway, I am ecstatic about my purchase. And also, did you see my new wallet there, which can double as a clutch?
Not bad for a day off. Eureka!

I love "The Last Days of Disco." But did you see that shirtdress that Michael designed last night on "Project Runway"? I mean, it was reversible! I covet that dress.

The modern shirtdresses kind of look like an updated 50's dress, do they not? It's what it reminds me of. Not so crazy about them but the black one definitely looks better than the blue, IMO, anyway. But your red wallet/clutch is so cute!
