Bag Lady

I've entered a contest to win tickets to attend the Zac Posen show at NYC's Spring fashion shows.

Exciting, I know, but I only entered for the possibility of winning the third place prize, which is a goodie bag filled with Zac Posen things. For someone who hasn't shopped for clothes and accessories in 289 days (official count - it's actually been longer), a goodie bag with a nice blouse or skirt or something new that I could wear is much more alluring to me than watching a bunch of people drooling over items on a runway that not only can't I buy because of hiatus, but - more importantly - can't buy because I can't afford them.

Don't get me wrong - I like a lot of Zac Posen designs. And I looked forward to the Zac Posen for Target clothes just as much as the next person. But the line came out during hiatus and I couldn't buy anything.

So I'm sure you understand why it's the bag (which I'm hoping itself might even be a fashion accessory - see today's article in the New York Times - http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/04/fashion/shows/04ROW.html?ref=shows) that got my attention.

Wish me luck!
