story of the sparkly skirt.

once upon a time, there was a girl. her name was rachel. she loved loved loooved pretty clothes, and things that sparkle. she had a sweet friend who was about to take engagement photos with her fiance. she wanted advice on what to wear (yes, ellee i'm talkin bout you!). she called rachel. they hung out together after class- made dinner together, and looked through ellee's closet to find some cute outfits for ellee's engagement photos.

ellee had a lot of beautiful clothes. rachel loved them. however, when ellee pulled out a beautiful downeast sparkly cream colored floral skirt, rachel's jaw dropped. it was the most beautiful skirt ever. she secretly envied it. ellee looked gorgeous in it. as soon as rachel got home that night, she went online to look for it. no luck. she even checked ebay. she was a little obsessed.

rachel never really forgot about the skirt. after all, she had fallen in love with it.

fast forward twelve months.

she sees her bloggy friend sara wearing the exact same skirt. rachel's jaw drops again. sara said she thrifted it. rachel is very proud of sara, and has a little case of closet envy. but of course, she is happy for sara's thrifted perfection.

a few days later, rachel wanders into forever21, one of her very favorite stores. she is just browsing, and happens to find a skirt EXTREMELY SIMILAR TO THAT BEAUTIFUL SKIRT SHE HAS BEEN WISHING FOR. her jaw drops. yet again. she runs over to it, and checks the price tag. it reads $20. she tries it on. she loves it. but she doesn't want to spend $20 on a skirt. she decides to give it a couple days. she leaves the store.

a couple days after that, rachel's cute husband worked many hours on a saturday. rachel was very bored without him. she decides to go back to forever21 after running some errands. she can't find the pretty skirt. she is bummed. rachel asked a store associate what happened to it.

then it- oh, it was a miracle! the nice store lady tells rachel it's been marked down. she shows rachel where they are. TEN DOLLARS! rachel is very happy. she finds her size, and takes it to the register. the sales person ringing her up then tells rachel that the skirt should be an additional 50% off. the nice cash register worker calls the manager and asks about it. the manager then marked the skirt down to FIVE DOLLARS. rachel's jaw dropped AGAIN.... and she was so excited to be able to buy a beautiful skirt. i mean come on, you can't even make a skirt for that cheap if you get good fabric and a zipper...........

cardi, necklace, skirt: forever21.

booties: target.

rachel then goes and buys her cute husband his favorite krispy kreme donuts so he won't be mad at her for buying more clothes... (just kidding, she actually bought it as dessert for their double date that night.. but still. ha).

the end.

ps: rachel doesn't know why her hair has been looking red recently. she is asian.......

pps: rachel is now done blogging in the third person. ok. bye.
