Imaginary Shopping Spree: Laura Jane's Summer Uniform, Hopefully, Among Other Things

I WOULD LIKE TO OWN THE EXACT OUTFIT ERIN WASSON IS WEARING ON PAGE 61 OF THE PORTUGAL-THEMED J.CREW CATALOG, AMONG OTHER THINGS

Today is February 8th, and that is very good news to me, because it means that springtime is just around the corner! This is the home stretch of winter. All we have to get through is the rest of crappy February, which is short for a REASON (because it blows, and the people who made the months up recognized that, and we all owe those month-makers a sincere and resounding THANK YOU). And March always sucks way harder than I want it to, but it's undeniably warmer than January, and then April is pretty decent, and then it's MAY! And then JUNE, JULY, and AUGUST!!! And I don't want to talk about what happens after August. Tragic, terrible stuff. My point, I think, is that this is the exact perfect time of the year to begin thinking about Summer Fashion Concepts.

We keep a copy of the Portugal-themed J.Crew catalog on my kitchen table, so I look at it about fifteen times a day, if not more. Which is how, and why, I figured out that the following outfit:

Is going to be my Summer 2010 Summer Uniform. The black vest, the black shirt, and the jean shorts, I mean. And then sometimes I will swap the black shirt for a white v-neck, throw on a gold necklace or three, eat a grape popsicle, and then wear these shorts:

Which are from Page 47. More importantly, I have recently arrived at the extremely important conclusion that, this coming spring-through-summer of calendrical 2010, I will wear extremely high-heeled shoes approximately eight days a week, give or take a day. Any of the following will do:

None of which are from the J.Crew catalog. I will wear these shoes, and I will never trip or fall while wearing them. My poise will blow your mind. "She's A Woman" by the Beatles will play cosmically in the background whenever I walk into a room, and all life will feel like the opening scene of The Girl Can't Help It. Not that I've ever seen The Girl Can't Help It, I just know about it from the Beatles Anth. But yeah. Milk bottles will explode, among other things. Exploding. (LJ)

I've been thinking about my summer wardrobe too. I can't wait for the dreary winter months to be OVER. ^_^

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..."
