In the words of Ned Stark...winter is coming. And this winter, I want clothes! (When do I ever want anything different?)
This winter I'm eyeing a light colored jacket, preferably one with FUR. I am getting into fur and fabulosity in a big way. I love cute demure little Mad Men-esque dresses and always pair them with opaque black tights, but in the winter I need wool to keep my gams warm. I'm starting to discover a deep love of cocktail rings, especially the ones with animals on them, which I blame entirely on my turtle ring Hermy. (Yes. I named it.) Plus more jewelry! I don't wear earrings with fur trims because of a few unfortunate experiences with getting my earrings tangled in the material...ahem. Gloves to keep my fingers warm, earmuffs for my ears, and these buckled converse wedges that I've been eyeing FOREVER. Well...since the summer, anyway. They bring the outfit down enough to wear to classes without looking overdressed, and hey, if I need to, I'll throw on a pair of knee highs to go out and about in.
This Black Friday, I bought...NONE OF THE ABOVE.
Like most cities, Boston is indeed beautiful at night, especially as we walked across the bridge outside of MIT.
Sorry ladies and gents, my smartphone's the only camera I've got on me these days.
My friends and I headed over to the neighborhood Best Buy, where the line was long but not that long, and then headed straight for the laptop section. None of us bought anything, but I did spend a very pleasurable hour or two wandering the sales racks. Consumerism and discounts - they make Black Friday my favorite holiday of the year, and yes, I do firmly believe that Black Friday is a holiday. So this Thanksgiving, I was thankful for my friends and for Black Friday being only a day away.
While I bought nothing at Best Buy...I did go back to Amazon and buy a tablet pc! For less than $80, I'm crossing my fingers. I don't need anything very powerful, just something I can watch movies on while I work out and read books on in buses and airports.
Muahaha.
