Imaginary Shopping Spree: Noir Ohio vintage, Luna the Samoyed
Whilst scouring eBay for a new surfboard to replace the one that BROKE IN HALF yesterday as the sea god Poseidon and/or Ursula the Sea Witch showed me just how small I truly am, I somehow ended up at Noir Ohio vintage, which I maybe love as much as Mama Stone or Lullie or Sally Jane Vintage. Now gimme all these things:
(top row, L to R)
-I probably haven't worn a dress with sleeves since 2003, and I usually try to avoid sleeves in general at all costs, but I'd maybe break away from my sleeve-free way of being for this sheer navy pleated mini-dress. Mostly cuz the hearts are cute, and I dig that braided belt.
-What has two thumbs, almost died in the ocean yesterday, and can't get enough hot-pink sundresses? THIS GUY.
-Actually, velour kinda wigs me out. Actually, the only reason I'm really drawn to this way-too-gothy-for-my-taste velour babydoll dress is those bonkers shoes (which you can get a better look at in this shot). Actually, I'd never wear those shoes, cuz the only thing that wigs me out more than velour is showing my toes in public. So let's forget we ever talked about any of this.
(bottom row, L to R)
-According to Cosmopolitan magazine, you'll never "bag a boyfriend" wearing a top like this butterfly tunic. "You might as well be wearing a Snuggie!" Cosmo cries. THAT IS SO TRUE.
-I just realized I kind of already have this plaid button-up top. So that's awesome for me.
-And I don't want this Joe Chicago sweatshirt, but maybe LJ does, because LJ thinks Snoopy's pretty alright. Speaking of LJ and things being "alright," right now the radio's playing The Who's "The Kids Are Alright," and before that it played "She's a Woman" by the Beatles, and before that was "Tired of Waiting for You" by the Kinks. And ooh, the song just changed to "Subterranean Homesick Blues"! LJ, do you like this sweatshirt? Let's Twitter about it! (Liz)
LUNA THE SAMOYED
I don't know what's wrong with me! Other than how I am dying of Swine Flu, I mean. I am in a really weird state of fashion flux these days: I love clothes, but I don't understand which ones should be mine, and why they should, or shouldn't be. The bulk of my dilemma lies in how I have anointed "Embracing My Femininity" as my May 2009 Fashion Sub-Concept: the time has come for me to suck it up and start embracing my femininity, but I don't really want to or know how, so I am confused all the time, and clothes have become impossible to navigate. My life is too hard for me.
I may be indecisive about clothes, but I'll never be indecisive about puppies. They all rule. Today's Daily Puppy, Luna the Samoyed, is one of my All-time Top 5 Daily Puppies, possibly even my Top One. I love Luna the Samoyed. I feel really bitter because Luna the Samoyed is not sitting on my lap right now, and I am not stroking her ears. I am imagining myself buying Luna the Samoyed. This is the most honest installment of Imaginary Shopping Spree I've ever written. (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..."
I saw the Snoopy Chicago sweatshirt in the unposted entry last night at 2 AM and thought that it would be a really funny prank if I bought it, and totally fucked with your imaginary shopping spree. Should I buy it? I can't figure it out. If it were a Luna the Samoyed Joe Chicago sweatshirt, I would get it for sure.
