Storms, Sears and Senioritas...

And that was my Tuesday. For anyone in the mid-west area, you know it's been a little cold and a little damp. And by a little cold I mean that on most days I'm wearing a fleece and my winter coat; and by damp I mean snow on Monday and a thunderstorm last night. It's mid April!!! Almost Easter!!! I hope the little girls in pastel dresses have some awesome cardigans to keep them warm on Sunday... With the senioritas- I think most people understand that one. It's a month away from spring finals and next fall is my last semester. I wanna do jack squat. But I'm pushing myself, I swear! It's just hard to get out of bed on some of the days. Mmmmmm...warmth...sleeeeep...! Figure in a cold basement apartment and crappy weather outside and I'm pretty sure the situation is understandable. Yes I'm lazy, I admit it.
Now what's with the Sears? You see I needed to do a product evaluation of a shirt, t-shirt and blouse for each private label brand of a department store. Randomly I was given Sears, so off I went. I don't know about the rest of you but when I think Sears, I think power tools and appliances. That's good since it's one of their specialties (Craftsmen is one of their private label brands), but that's all I think of. I understand that it's a department  store, and therefore has practically everything, but when I think of clothes from Sears I automatically think "not that great". Woo boy! Was I ever wrong! Their stuff is just as good as everyone else's, only cheaper!! I might just have to start shopping there for all my nicer wear, especially Covington and Land's End. Land's End isn't as cheap, but it's good quality (my mom bought from them for years).
Yeah free publicity! Sears should pay me.

As for Easter... I was an ok Catholic. I gave up vending machines for Lent, and only once (I needed water for the train - I was beyond dried out) did I go against it. I didn't go to church. I deserve a good smiting. In my defense I was usually busy with work or homework, but still. Ah well, I shall try again next year, and the year after that... cause that's what you do in religion: try till you get it right. As for the fun parts of the holiday, I can honestly say I don't know what I'm wearing. Probably my navy sailor pants with a nice button down. If it's warm (doubtful) I might wear a dress. We shall see. However, if I had the body for it I think I might wear a hanbok. Say WHAT?!?! It's the traditional form of Korean dress (hanbok literally means Korean dress), and I've been doing some research on them for a  few of my classes and I might have fallen in love with women's hanboks, and with fusion designers like Lee Young Hee it's kind of hard not to.

Stunning, right?!?!

Funny thing though, the first time I ever saw a hanbok was actually at my cousin's wedding. The mother and grandmother of the bride wore them. I wasn't sure what to think of them then (I was in middle school), but now I wish I had been mindful enough to appreciate them.
But I think a dress like that would be stunning for Easter, especially the last one pictured. For the Christians out there, have a wonderful Easter, for all the others (I know the Jewish have recently celebrated the passover), I hope your spring holidays are happy and celebrated with loving family... even if it's just your basic weekend.

P.S. I got bangs...!
