high fashion?

Secretly want to compete on Top Model?  Maybe...  In reality, I'm no high fashion girl.  I'm practical fashion girl.  I decide, "Does this make me feel good about myself?" and "Would this stand out in a crowd?"  ...in the good way, obviously.  I'm come to the point in my shopping journeys where I won't buy an item if I don't think I'd ever get a compliment about it. My reasoning for this is 10% self-esteem booster and 90% functional for maintaining shopping control. This trial and error process is fun and often budget-conscious (with an occasional splurge), and my success rate is increasing.

Take today's ensemble.  Tailored, deep purple, bow-belted dress.  "In" tweed-patterned tights.  Marigold, button-detailed pea coat.  I had a good success rate today, which is why this was on my mind to share.  So, if you're battling between the urge to splurge and the mind the leave it behind, send a pic message my way.  I am honest and kind. :)

Camera. Swallowed. Check!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I swallowed a camera, a feat that even you could accomplish...only if your doctor asks you to have the test. :) It's called...the PillCam.  Google pillcam images for reference.  At the same time you wear this AWESOME shoulder purse and bullet-proof cummerbund.

Well, it may not be bulletproof, but there's gotta be something special about it if it has wires coming out of it attaching to the AWESOME shoulder purse!  I am 'proud' to wear my purse for the entire day, after which the doctor person will download up to 57,600 images of my digestive track.  Freaking amazing if you ask anybody! Not freaking amazing = clear liquid diet for 27 hours, drinking an entire small bottle of reconstituted Miralax, and reading the directions NOT to retrieve the camera after it has been 'released' from my system.  Most say 'gross!' but I say 'darn'!  This thing is freakin' cool!  Pictures of every place my food goes?!  Let ME see!!!

Not freakin' cool = reviewing 57,600 images.  So that's why the follow-up is 6 weeks.  Ha.  Alright, I'll cut him a break.
