Imaginary Shopping Spree: sweet blue dresses, Tees Please: The Cosmic Edition
Sweet blue dresses
I swear, I'm such a dodobird because I swore up and down to myself NOT to buy anymore dresses -- basically because I have too many and it's slightly insane. Yet here I am, courting temptation by browsing nothing but frocks. But lately I love the idea of super-cute blue dresses: whether it's cornflower, cerulean, midnight, electric or Yves Klein, something about the color blue is so charming, sweet and mysterious for me. More eye-catching than black, less trendy than yellow, more photogenic than green and less aggressive than red, blue is such a good-natured color that wearing it in a dress would only lead to good things. Wearing a lovely blue silk dress for New Years would be such a nice way to begin 2009, don't you think? My latest favorites: (Kat)
1. This lovely cornflower blue silk dress from Kerrigan (yes, the less expensive offshoot of my beloved Daryl K) has a very "PARTY!" kind of vibe, but the blue here makes it kind of charming and ingenue-ish. If you're a size L, you're currently in luck, because it's on sale for $75 (from $299).
2. I really like the Geren Ford line at Urban Outfitters; it's so close in spirit to her main line, with the sexy, graceful cuts and draping and the general relaxed air of it all. This silk dress is just simple and easy; I'd probably get this for spring, actually, and wear it with prerequisite flip-flops or, you know, those insane dominatrix sandals. ($108)
3. This is another Urban Outfitters dress. I like how the front is all "I'm a sexy tomboy" but the back is "Girliness is my secret weapon." ($78)
4. You kind of can't go wrong with this Sonia by Sonia Rykiel striped t-shirt dress. It's got stripes, after all, plus some ruffles, which I normally hate but lately find intriguing, and of course, it's a beautiful electric blue. ($486)
Astrology-themed t-shirt that doesn't look like something a 50-year-old Wiccan from NoCal would wear, goldsaturn.com
The frequency with which I find myself blabbering on and on about astrology to everyone always is kind of absurd. Guessing people's signs has become my #1 party trick; once you get me started in on it, rest assured I'll feel the need to explain the ins and outs of every single zodiac sign, defensively justify why astrology is real, tell Virgos I think they're losers, try to make out with a Scorpio, and insist on borrowing somebody's iPhone so I can Wikipedia various constellations.
Not only is this tee really hot and looks like it would fit rad, the graphic on the front will make my life a ton more convenient when I'm trying to explain to jerkface Arieses why their emotional age is 0-7. God! This t-shirt is so on top of its shit. It must be a Capricorn. (LJ)

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)
Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."
