I'm red not yellow

Have you heard about the Red campaign? It's hard to not to. It was on Oprah and there's commercials for it but just in case, a bunch of businesses have gotten together to sell specific items where half of the profits goes towards AIDs patients in Africa. Bono started this. They say it's not a charity it's a business model. I like the concept but just because I like the concept doesn't mean I'm going to spend money on it. But turns out, I like the product to. The Gap has been selling (red) shirts. They have shirts with different messages and they're not all red but I got the red one because it looks good on me, LOL. Some of the shirts say, inspi(red), ado(red), hamme(red), that one would be good for Vegas, LOL but I chose the one that said desi(red) of course! It's hard to take self portraits of my shirt but here goes. BTW the shirt is super comf. You can't really see the shirt here but my boobs look good, LOL.I paid full price for this sucker, something I never do, especially at the Gap. But red is my color and my tits look good. This will be my one charitable act all year! What can I say, I'm a humanitarian, LOL.

Now let's talk about the other shopping I did today. I went to Nordstrom's, been meaning to go there for days and of course I finally make it on a day with tornado warnings and thunder storms because that's just the kind of person I am, lazy and waiting til the last minute! Anyway, I pulled out a ton of things to try on but there wasn't a lot of love. Lots of things that were less then flattering but there was 1 dress I was dying to try on so I waited til last for that. I finally found a red dress that I liked. It's low cut which you know is a plus. Yes, I could have taken a pic in it but you'll be seeing plenty of pics of me in Vegas with it on so I don't want to spoil the surprise, LOL.

Then it was time to try on THE DRESS. I tried to find a pic online to share with you but the Nordy's website didn't have it. It's a black tube style dress that is sort of fitted then flares out and it has bold stripes throughout. It's sort of 70s style dress. It goes all the way to the floor. The problem with that is, I'm 4'11". These dresses are not meant for someone my height but I loved this dress so I bought it and then paid to get it altered. She originally quoted $45 but I told her the dress was $50 so then she said $35. I can't believe I paid that much for alterations. I was sucked in by the love of my dress. The reason it cost so much was because I was getting the original style hem but then later I was thinking, who is going to notice my hem? I should have asked her what the price was for regular hem, d'oh! Live and learn! I already know when I'm wearing this, Vegas of course. But I've already warned my co-workers at the post office that I'll be wearing it to go to the post office and I do believe I may be wearing it when I vacuum. I need to get my money's worth!
