Weekend shopping notes: Work and family obligations might’ve kept me from Gwen Leeds’s legendary garage sale on Friday and Saturday, but I did stumble upon a pleasant surprise upon visiting the Lava Lounge yesterday afternoon. I’d stopped in with the boyfriend. (I’m trying to diversify his tastes–there is life beyond Len Druskin, you know.) There, I found a nice selection of modest-priced dresses. And they weren’t all funked-out, as I’ve found their dresses to be ever since turning twenty-six. (The Lounge was a favorite prior to my reaching that ripe, old age.) The current stock tends toward the flirty. I didn’t buy the pink ‘n gray dress with the wrap-around, bandage bodice. As it happened, I wasn’t feeling too hot and just couldn’t muster the strength to feel pretty in the thing. But I’m seriously considering a post-work pit-stop this p.m. As for boyfriend: He didn’t buy any of the fluorescent muscle shirts, which he found on the clearance rack (and which I quickly nixed).
