Daily Reflection On A Dead Man's Quotation

And now for a serving of a little something I like to call,"Daily Reflection On A Dead Man's Quotation" brought to you in part by Madison DuPree and Oscar Wilde.

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to change it every six months."

Now I don't know what remedy Mr. Wilde was suggesting but I concur with him in his angst about modern fashion trends. For instance I was cleaning out my closet and came across a light pink and gray shirt, and I debated throwing it out because those colors haven't been in style since last summer (or 1985 depending on your personal fashion tastes). I thought about throwing it out but I went against my mother's voice in my head and kept it, because after all I'm just a poor college student. As much as I would love to use current trends as an excuse to revamp my wardrobe every few months I simply can't afford it.

By the way... you can get some really great deals on Threadless.com if you check their $5 and $10 sections everyday. You know... for those who strive to keep up their artsy fashion look on a tight budget. And if you're going for more of an upscale fashion look then anthropology does have a decent sale section, you just have to be committed to checking it out regularly!

If anyone else has any cheap style tips I'd love to hear them!

And if anyone wants to know how my day is going..... I'd have to say it's going well. I love it when it's stormy outside at night, especially when that storm floods the roads around my work making it impossible for me to come into the office at 8:00. I got a call early this morning telling me that I shouldn't come in until 11:00. Sleeping in is a beautiful thing people... a very, very beautiful thing. So I slept until 9:00 (as opposed to my usual 7:00) then spent the last bit of my stolen time watching America's Next Top Model reruns.

And I pride myself on my efficiency today because I was planning on going to Starbucks to use some of the gift cards I got for Admin Assistant Day and read. But instead I went to the store because it's my week for groceries.

Also, on a completely unrelated note our pool is green. I'm not happy about this.
