When: Wed., Dec. 10th, 2008.

What: Drk. brown wool trousers from Express Design Studio, plaid ruffled blouse from Gap. Vintage navy wool jacket with ruffled collar and black leather elbow length gloves. Navy patent pumps by Nine West.

Scent: Guerlain Derby. It is described as “a polished, sophisticated chypre with notes of artemisia, bergamot, lemon, peppermint, jasmine, mace, pepper, pimento, rose, leather, oakmoss, patchouli, sandalwood and vetiver.” It is difficult to obtain. It is perfect for crispy Fall and Winter days, or for wearing whenever you know you’ll be running into those assholes who instruct you to “Get off your high horse,” as they are wont to do. (God, I hate it when people say that to me.)

It smells like a very lovely woman accustomed to riding very pretty ponies and rebuking very silly boys (or girls), like this, in fact:

Confession: Forgive me, while my outfit is ever-so-slightly murderous, I am actually focused on healing my tomboy, who had a wisdom tooth out earlier today, after experiencing pretty severe pain on Monday and Tuesday. We have graduated from 800mg Ibuprofen to Vicodin + Vodka to Percocet, finally, and it seems her appetite is back at last, after a 36-48 hr. pain-induced, involuntary fast.

Ach so, I shall cut this short, and leave you to your own sweet Betty Draper dreams!

    A: I am amazed. I have a terrible, violent aversion to black + navy, or black + brown, and yet you manage to make ALL THREE TOGETHER look fabulous. If I sit next to you, will this wonderful power rub off on me?

    B: if only you were an assassin, I’d hand you a list. Just a wee little list. And then the world would be a better place! But alas, that sort of thing is frowned upon.

    you look deadly!

    I think I may have been the first person to tell you to get off of your high horse…. some friend, huh?

    Sorry!

    Love the jacket!

    @AYL: OK, I checked the label and it says Hunter’s Run. I have no idea!

    @SF: Ha! I’m afraid she’s tearing through her non-refillable prescription like crazy! We’ve an abundance of vicodin, however.

    @nadarine: Yes! Next time we get together, you can scoot real close and try to rub some of it off. (That sounded pervy.)

    @Sher: Were you? Huh. I shall wear Derby for you, then, on your birthday. HA!
