More silly clothing nattering

I have lately had an urge to dress even MORE like a circus ringmaster than usual, and wear my red J. Peterman riding jacket. (clicky-link to an eBay auction for its twin.)

I love the jacket, and have, over the years, carefully (oh so carefully!) tailored it down to fit me as I shrank. That jacket, a black high-collar blouse with a jabot, a knee-length black ruffled skirt with petticoats, b&w stripey tights, button boots, and a top hat would be a marvelous outfit. (And one that I've worn variations of before.)

But.

We are now past Thanksgiving, which means not only do random strangers think my usual top hat means I'm a Christmas caroler, but if I wear anything red, they ABSOLUTELY believe I'm a Christmas caroler. However, I don't think I'm going to let that stop me from wearing the above-described outfit. I'll just make sure to wear black lipstick and skull jewelry, too. Oooh, and maybe swap the black skirt for a b&w striped one, instead.

I know that any money I make at Sunday's Mourning Market is going to be spent on a trip to the dayspa, because spending a day DOING NOTHING, wandering from hot pool to sauna, and getting a body scrub will be really good for me and the Antibiotic Cellular Death Explosion (^TM the Infamous BlueJay). But what I want to spend the money on?

The Shrine "Toreador" jacket in black (clicky-link!)

That, or my next tattoo. I really, really am craving new ink. Plus, the next tattoo is in memorial of my Mom, so it's even more important to me.

I will be a smart cupcake, and spend money on something that will give me health benefits. That doesn't stop me from wistfully window-shopping, tho'.
