Moneyed

This thing I bought online finally arrived. It's called "Afterzine" and the first issue is about negative space. The articles are varied and brilliant glimpses into all sorts of ideas. I'm glad I bought it, even though it felt like another unnecessary indulgence at that time.

I also bought a dress, though I almost didn't. It was from "Latitude," that store in the mall that's closing soon, so everything's either 50% off or five to ten dollars. The dress was cotton jersey in soft gray. (A color I've been drawn to recently, because it's a softer neutral that goes well with other dreamier palettes like pink and green.) It's a strapless, empire-cut tube dress, with beads sewn on top. I wouldn't have bought it if it weren't so similar in style to that dress of Jenny's I borrowed and wore to Jaja's wedding. I tried it on, and the cut is very flattering and the fabric is comfortable against my skin. It straddles casual and formal, but I'm not sure where I would wear it. Would it look good with a t-shirt underneath? It's five dollars, so it's a steal.

And what else is on the horizon? Books at the yearly booksale at the mall. That new laptop I have my eye on. And Christmas is fast approaching. (Everyone, duck!)

And I have the gall to refuse extra hours on my shift? (Yes.)
