two grand too grand.

the results are in.

after several weeks of seeing dresses i could kill for pop up on the modcloth blogroll, i finally decided to sit down and make my wishlist.

if i bought everything on my list, i'd be out $2175.

(does this mean i can justify buying $200 worth of dresses because "I only bought 10% of what i wanted!!"??)

although, i really didn't show much discretion in my choices, as i usually would.

for example:

Local Muse Dress

Maritime Moxie Dress

the two of these dresses, combined, are just shy of $450.  awesome.

but, that's what wishlists are for, right?  to keep a list of things you wish you could afford?

on the bright side, these are the only items on the wishlist that top $100.  so there is hope that i may, one day soon, be able to buy myself a couple dresses (much more affordable than these!).

oh, and by the way, everything on my list was chosen with my new haircut in mind.  doesn't matter if it would be a good shape on my body.  the hair and the dress will move mountains together. i just know it.

if you want to contribute to the "Buy Kelyn Thirty New Dresses From the Same Website Fund", leave a comment below.  i'll be sure to get back to you.  instantly.  and make you cookies in hopes that you'll contribute more.

blame it on the rain

woke up to a drizzly, but warm, morning.  one of the days i wish i had a covered porch so i could sit out and listen to the sounds of a rainy day.
but with no covered porch, i just open the back door and press my face up against the screen window once in a while.  it'll do til i get the real deal.


generally after laying on the couch a while, watching old movies, i get the urge to do something creative.  i want to bake bread.  i want to paint a pretty picture.  i want to knit a scarf.  make something out of fancy paper.
maybe it's my way of creating something sunny out of such a dreary day.  or maybe it's just boredom.

either way.  i usually don't do it.  the rain makes me too lazy...

but maybe today will be different?
