I bought a new external hard drive to transfer my files onto from my failing Mac so I can take it in to get repaired. It is a network drive which means it plugs into my router and then I should be able to access all of my files on that drive from any computer in the house. I have an old PC that I will need to work from while this one is in the shop.

Of course…as I explained before nothing "just works" out of the box. So my PC wasn't mapping or recognizing this new drive which means I cannot access my files.

I make the call we all dread…

tech support.

I spent an hour on the phone with a decent guy, but it was taking forever and we didn't seem to be getting anywhere.

Mr. Tech offers a new idea to solve this dilemma and just as he starts to explain it to me…

beep beep beep…

the line goes dead.

Seriously?

How many times has this happened to you?

Do they have a secret emergency button that will just disconnect the line mid sentence?

Like one of those saftey parachutes from planes.

When all else fails, pull this cord and the line will magically disconnect.

Voila.

Problem solved.

Now someone else can deal with it.

Needless to say after that debacle I wasn't keen on getting right back on the phone and starting from scratch again. I will be forced to do it though because I need a viable solution before I take this computer in.

What does that have to do with my outfit?

Nothing.

I won this skirt as part of a giveaway from Missguided from Jessi at Haircut and General Attitude. Thanks Jessi! I also got a dress and some heels that I will show off in upcoming posts.

It is very long on me.

I have pulled up the waist almost as far as my boobs. I feel like I might be starting to look a bit like this guy…

It isn't lined either, but I still like it.

I guess you get what you pay for.

I was excited to use my vintage sweater closure on this cardigan.

Have you ever been on the phone with tech support to have the line go dead?

I swear it is a conspiracy.

Do you ever go into stores and just pick out entire outfits? I have this annoying habit of doing just that.

Case in point.

Annoying because it costs me money.

I literally told Robert, "We can't go into Anthropologie unless you promise to ensure I don't buy a thing. Nothing. Even if it's on sale. I'm just going to look. Not buy. I'm only there for inspiration."

Uh huh.

Famous last words.

Why couldn't I be someone that has zero fashion sense, and no idea how to dress their body?

The type that takes 50 pieces into the fitting room, spends an hour cursing under their breath, trying on each ill fitting horrible piece, every one worst than the last, finally leaving the fitting room, flustered and angry because nothing even remotely worked. Defeated, they rush home to drown their mounting depression in a vat of salted caramel ice cream smothered with dark chocolate sauce buried under a mountain of crumbled graham wafer cookies while watching old reruns of What Not To Wear in their PJs.

Oh no.

Not me.

I walk straight to the sales rack, literally pull out these two pieces and take them to the fitting room. Two pieces folks!

And walk out looking like this.

Pug photo bomb. Please remind me not to try to take photos when it is close to Zoe's supper.

Just 2 pieces. Out of the whole store.

I can do that 95% of the time.

It's sick.

Take away this Super Power. I don't want it anymore. It is ruining me.

The shoes were bought the same day at the consignment store when Robert took some of his clothes in to sell.

Yes, Robert was selling and I was buying. I was hoping you wouldn't pick up on that.

The fact is though that they are so picky at that store that they wouldn't take 80% of my clothes. I have to take mine to a different store. I don't have all high end brand names like hubby. The only stuff I have that would be considered higher end is my Anthro stuff and I'm not selling any of my Anthro collection.

Seriously.

Would you want to sell this cardigan?
