life lesson

life lesson #whatever: don't leave your clothes in the laundromat. ever.
that's right, all my clothes got stolen. all my underwear, all my bras, jeans, turtlenecks.. my $150 anthropologie dress, my bcbg vest shirt, my expensive jeans, my cashmere turtleneck, my brand new vs pink pj pants and cute undies and lounge clothes. my tokidoki shirts. my workout clothes. my super expensive towel my mom bought for me. my sheets.

....people are horrible, i guess that's really all i had to say. i mean, who does that? who just goes into the laundromat and takes FOUR LOADS worth of laundry?? now i've started grabbing stuff out of a dryer and went, ahh, that's not mine. how do you not notice its yours? karma's a bitch, i hope, because whoever took my stuff deserves a karmic smackdown of the highest order. trying to look on the bright side, though - at least it's not my camera, or my supernice printer, or monitor, or god forbid my laptop with all my portfolio work, or britten. i'd really be freaking out, then. thank god for small things.

in better news, my dad lent me some money so i could buy underwear/bras/socks/basics like jeans and t-shirts. i managed to get some cute stuff for about $250 - i'll post soon (when i get home from work) with pictures :)

as cool as it is to shop from shopbop all the time, not everyone can afford it. it IS possible to look super cute on a "budget". maybe not walmart budget, but the trick is to find good quality items and spend a bit more on them, rather than buying more, crappier pieces. pics soon!
