Shallow materialist window shopping

[cupcake_goth]

 La Femme en Noir announced a Tim Burton Corpse Bride collaboration. Preorders are happening NOW, items will be shipping sometime in March. I am pining (PINING!) over the Victoria dress, but have been told by people more sensible than myself that while it is very pretty and very much the sort of thing aimed at me, that specific design will not work on my extremely short-waisted figure. I have been saved from myself.

However, I've been told by a reliable source that the same company has upcoming collaborations for Dracula and Crimson Peak. Goodbye money.

Yesterday (Thursday) was terrible. I inexplicably woke up at 6am and couldn't get back to sleep. However meetings, planning emergency content schedules (not my features, but I'm lending a hand for another team), and the start of the release notes circus wait for no one, so I blearily stumbled through it. I went to bed at 9:30pm, and put my book down before 11pm. This is unheard of for me. But wow, I needed it.

I could probably wear the heck out of that dress were it not for those colors.

Those wise voices are not wrong. Lots of very pretty things there that would just not look good on me, which is just as well because oof... those prices.

Their prices are nonsense, I scoff,

Knit Shell: 60% Polyester 35% Rayon 5% Spandex
Knit Lining: 97% Polyester 3% Spandex
Imported. Made in China.

for $198?

A skirt similar is available on Amazon for much less https://smile.amazon.com/Steampunk-Vintage-Gothic-Victorian-Ruffled/dp/B07MHX11R2/ref=pd_ybh_a_46 in an assortment of colors. You're on your own for the blouse, although Products Related To This Item have already lured me in.

DAMMIT, I didn’t realize Belle Époque offered that skirt in pink & white.

You're welcome?

[cupcake_goth]

Actually, yes, thank you, because that solves an impending wardrobe dilemma. :)
