In the end, that incredible necklace went for $6,950, and not to me. Actually that's a really good price. I considered bidding when it was under $2,000, but I knew it would shoot up way past that as the end of the auction neared. Maybe what I really need is this. I have some citrine jewelry that matches...
Oddly enough, the day after making that joke, I actually ended up needing double-sided tape to keep a dress on for the first time in my life. It was a party where you were meant to dress up as a princess or a cowboy, and none of you will be surprised to learn I chose princess. I have an actual tiara, and let me tell you, there aren't many opportunities to wear it. I wore it to my wedding rehearsal dinner, and to a few parties in San Francisco, but really it is not your go-to look for many occasions. So I got a cute long dress at 60% from Guess, but the fit was not great. I ended up cutting up a bra and sewing the cups inside the dress, and disassembled a rhinestone bracelet to sew at the bottom of the plunge neckline. I am the MacGuyver of evening dresses, people. I got to dance to Michael Jackson's "Blame it on the boogie", so you know the party was fun.

That ring is hideous.

Cool -- that gives you an out when the Hooded One comes for you. (Well technically I guess you have to have plague as well, to qualify for the exception.)
