I had an unpleasant situation today about which I won't talk since it's too personal, but for three months I'm fucked properly and I'm forced to sell off some things to pay off my debt. Anyway, I had a situation yesterday that a zoomerette bought one of cameras I listed. At first I lied I won't be able to send it but later I remembered that just earlier, like a day before I thought about keeping it so I said the truth and that it uses SmartMedia. Then it turned out that she didn't even read the description and from what she said it was probably for other zoomer jumping the bandwagon and she wanted it because of low price. I mean, you need to research model you want before buying because some use esoteric card formats and without good reader, you're fucked. SmartMedia are easy to break so transferring photos with a cable would be better but unfortunately I don't own one for this camera. I decided I'm gonna carry it now daily since it has great battery life and is low-res enough so I don't need to resize. I need to think over what I can sell to unfuck myself faster and be left alone.
I decided to use some black linen I bought in summer and I thought I'll fit in with a dress and a top (although with some piecing), but only if I'd used a dress pattern with deeper neckline. It's still in my local fabric store, so I'll probably get rest that is still here - I can get it set aside for a while... It has finish I want. I'm gonna take some more red from which I made this set early this year, probably around 3m. I just love this color and quality is so good. Anyway, I'm cutting this dress right now but I need to get lining for it before I'll start sewing and I need to find lighter interfacing since all sticking out zippers are caused by me using too heavy one and too stiff zippers. I got ton of thinner zippers, they have shorter lifespan, but I might put end of this issue with lightweight cellulose fiber fabrics (linen, cotton). Thicker zippers are better for medium weight wools. I'd need these lighter ones for woolen tops too, as I'm planning to make these from very thin ones. Unironically I find modern average weight of suiting wool (for men's suits) too thin and it barely has drape for a suit, but for a dress or top? It's great. I wish I could get more from this nice lady... I just hope these will keep hanging on until spring.
I ended up getting few more Elle issues since woman from who I bought before happened to have few more ones from 1999 (I'm literally down to three to finish this year) and few earlier ones. I need to organize them...
I'm tempted to consoom perfume again. Noa became so expensive that 30ml costs as much as 50ml did earlier this year. I have around 1/3 left after 8 months but I need to stop overspraying. Buuut... I saw that 100ml of Clinique's Happy is on 40% sale and it tempts me since it's so damn expensive for that bad lasting power, but it's so nice!!! Men's one is more unisex leaning and has decent lasting power, but I don't have balls to wear it to be honest. Kenzo's Flower is also with decent discount and I started to love it, it has stronger projection than similarly floral-powdery Noa. Additionally I want to bite the bullet and buy Cacharel's Eden without trying it since finding a tester in real life is so hard. Notes are exactly what I want and I have experience with their perfumes, I hope it's as good and well-lasting despite being only EDT like Noa.
Since I'm too lazy to do full on foundation usually I thought about mixing it with my moisturizer. But I feel so wasteful given that I use high end ones and honestly I might go for tinted moisturizer next time when I'll finish my foundation (which is nice but it just gives up at my oily nose and forehead). Unironically it would be also an opportunity to try cream blush but in the Kevyn Aucoin's makeup way book. I hate how expensive my current one was but it's great! Pigmentation is that big that I have to run over with powder to make it more muted since even amount that small I use is too much.
