Today I was determined to buy some new clothes. I went to the Burlington Mall (always a mistake). I spent, probably, about 3 to 4 hours there, and came away with only a pair of leggings and an utterly demolished morale. Note, I don't even have anything to wear the leggings with. They just looked like a great pair of leggings, so I hoped to find something they would go with. You can't just wear leggings if you have nothing that goes with leggings. There was one dress on a sale rack at Macy's that I liked (not that it would have gone with the leggings, but I liked it on its own merits) but it was most definitely the wrong size.

Could be the way to go. I assumed that a wardrobe consultant would be expensive? But my time is worth something, and I do waste a lot of it on unproductive shopping and/or procrastinating getting dressed. Sure, I'll look into it.

BTW are you still thinking of having a clothing swap? gosling and I are getting so desperate for a clothing swap that last night we were trying to imagine a clothing swap in either her apartment or my apartment, neither of which are the least bit suitable.

Yeah, I am still up for it, but November is out. I need to talk to the housemates about a date in Dec.

When I get the info about the consultant from my client (I just emailed her to ask for the info for another client), I'll send it your way.

Thanks!

Need help hosting the clothing swap? I wish I could host one, I just don't have suitable real estate.

Yes, when I do host, I will for certain need help, esp. bagging/cleaning up at the end. Can you do Dec 28?

Yes, definitely! Will be glad to help.

Will you have your daughter that weekend? She likes Sophia, and the girls are likely to keep each other amused and thus, presumably, less under-foot, so that may influence whether I bring Sophia or try to leave her at Grandma's.

Excellent. I sent out an invite on Facebook. It'll be 1 to 5 pm on Dec 28.

I don't think I'm going to have her that weekend, but it's kind of weird with the school holiday, so I'm not 100% sure.

OK great, see you then!

I found the post on Facebook. But I don't seem to have your address. Call or text me? 617-721-1807.

Maybe post a reminder? Maybe LJ too? I have no idea what your following is on Facebook. I have tons of size 7/8 girls' clothing to bring.

My address is included in the post. Did you mark yourself as "attending?" I don't see you on my list at all.

I am waffling about whether I should cancel. I've had a stomach virus since Monday. I'm feeling almost healthy today, but people have been saying one is contagious for days afterwards. I guess I can let people take their chances. I also posted on the FB event to ask for helpers, and no one responded.
