Where are all the cute clothes?

Since IC's Homecoming is the weekend, and I have to work at the Althletic Hall of Fame Awards Dinner on Friday night, I needed something a little dressy to wear. The problem is, I live in a place where everyone wears flip flops in the summer, hiking boots in the winter. In other words, there are not cute, dressy clothes to be found in any of the stores around here.


Today Brenda and I took a trip to the mall during lunch in search of the simplest, yet seemingly hardest item of clothing to find: the little black dress. I already own several LBDs: one with a boring, straight shape, one with a small pattern, and a third that have a small ruffle trim around the bottom. Small. I'm not in to big, ruffly dresses, don't worry.


Anyway, Brenda and I ran around the mall at breakneck speed because we were on our lunch hour and found...nothing. Finally, at the last store we tried, I found something that I can wear with my favorite LBD: a cream, angora caplet, which makes the whole thing look a little fancier and more seasonable. Now all I need is a really fantastic push-up bra.
