Window Shopping

I really enjoy clothes.  I like to flip through magazines and covet all the amazing things the models are wearing.  I like to imagine myself in that particular pair of leather booties, or that pair of high-waisted bell bottoms.   I was flipping through a magazine at the grocery store today, I think it was People (it had crazy Charlie Sheen on the cover), and saw an ad for the website Piper Lime.   I didn't really want to buy the magazine just so I could remember the name of the site, so I'm quite pleased with myself that I managed to trap it in the sieve that is my memory.  

The site is pretty awesome.  They promise free shipping and returns for all you stateside dwellers (I live in Canada and they don't seem to ship up here), and their selection is great.   I've already found about seventeen pairs of shoes that I don't need and several blazers that I could probably use in many different outfits (I'm a liar).   Check out this rolled-sleeve blazer by Elizabeth and James.  I love it.  It's a bit pricey for me at $395usd, but I could sell my kidneys.  Maybe.

I also really liked this pair of high-waisted bellbottoms by 7 For All Mankind.  They're called the Rachel Bellbottom because Rachel Zoe has apparently been wearing the heel out of these.  I have pretty high hips, so high-waisted jeans have always been my jeans of choice. They haven't been back in style for too long, but I'm so happy they are.  Now I don't have to worry about my body shape fitting awkwardly into  super and ultra low-rise (honestly, who needs an ULTRA low-rise, come on now) jeans.  Plus, I watched Smokey and the Bandit the other day and Sally Field was totally rockin' pants like this and I thought "damn, look at her ass!".   It looked phenomenal!  I was totally inspired to go out and buy me some classic 70's bellbottoms, but then I looked at my bank statement, did a little bit of calculations, and decided I'd rather be able to drive to work for the next week than buy a pair of jeans.  But they will be mine.  Oh yes, they will be mine.
