Actually, I was in a vintage shop today and thought of you. I bought a very pretty chinese dress (http://www.designerexposure.com/images/products/20774_1_large.jpg). Mine is all floral patterns with black, red, orange, and gold. Of course, I did buy it for a costume party tomorrow (It's pirates vs. ninjas theme and so I opted for 'femme fatale ninja'). Still, it's fun to wander into places like that and pick up lovely things that you know no one else will have. ^^

ps, you forgot my personal bane of existence: the dreaded bug-eye glasses (http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/1306153/2/istockphoto_1306153_bug_eye_glasses.jpg)! I cringe every time I see them.
