Anyone who knows me in person is well aware that I don’t know smack about fashion.
I’m not even afraid to admit that I wear yoga pants on a daily basis, haven’t wore a regular bra since Christmas, and feel that all I need to trick the public into thinking I’m even remotely fashionable is something involving plaid.
I mean, shoot. I’m sitting here in bed wearing a blue mens tank top and pink hot-pants looking shorts with cherries on the ass. If this doesn’t say “slave to fashion” I don’t know what does.
Anygross, Lulu’s, one of the most fashion-forward, plaid-infested, filled-with-cozy-lazy-yet-ungodly-attractive-clothing-items-for-sad-sacks-like-me clothing stores, is hosting a contest. Not just any contest. Ohhhhh, no. The blogger who writes about this contest and receives the most comments (1 per commenter) will win a $100 gift card to the store. And then, as if you weren’t pissing glitter already, they are going to give a $50 gift card to a random commenter! Are you squealing yet? YOU SHOULD BE!
All that being said, if you want to give me a chance to add something somewhat decent and fashionable to my wardrobe that doesn’t hold my ass in via spandex or zip over a bra top just for the sake of legal purposes, you better comment on this post. You won’t just attempt to make a fellow blogger you love so dearly pretty, but you’ll have a chance to win a $50 gift card if I receive the most comments. Also, if I win this gift card, I will purchase something from the site to giveaway on here. It’ll be a surprise. DID YOU HEAR THAT? I thought so.
Comment whatever you’d like, my pleasant little pop tarts. Tell me what you think I should purchase from Lulu’s to improve my joke of a wardrobe, tell me what you’d purchase if you win the gift card, or even tell me why in the hell there are winter Olympic sports that involve a combination of skiing and shooting. Are they skiing down 8 mile? I don’t think so. Well, if you can explain why this event came to be, let me know. And don’t forget to comment so I can add some pretties to my closet. Smooches.

I desperately need to update my wardrobe. I’m a broke ass writer, it’s part of the territory. Help me win this. If I don’t, it’s going to be a real turd in the punch bowl.

As of right now, I think I’m the first to comment, and that’s what I’m going to comment about.
I’m not going to be annoying and yell, “FIRST!!” Even though I might kind of want to. I’m just going to tell everyone that the first commenter should always be specially recognized for their supreme effort in dropping what they are doing and coming over to comment.
Basically, I’m the shit.
That’s all for now.
February 24th, 2010 at 5:47 am
Ok, if you win you must buy this: Sugar Cookie Bow in Black. Because what girl doesn’t need a 2 foot hair accessory?
February 24th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
I hear assless chaps are all the rage.
At least in my house.
My neighbors hate when I leave the shades open.
February 24th, 2010 at 1:39 pm
i love this online store!
February 24th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
with the money i just won from this lucky lotto ticket, i can take this $100 and blow it all on hats
February 24th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Here’s your comment for this!
Now add thereafterish. to your blogroll or else I de-friend you and talk about how unfashionable you are, and then you can write a rebuttle email you and I will both giggle about later.
j/k
xo
Hope you win!
February 24th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
I would like to say two things:
1) ‘Pissing glitter.’ I like this. A lot.
2) Sod the skiing/shooting shit, what about curling? I mean it’s women, brushing the floor vigorously before a dense flat thing gets in the way and messes it all up. If that isn’t some kind of symbol for repressed women everywhere then I don’t know what is.
Good luck with updating your wardrobe.
February 24th, 2010 at 2:28 pm
I want pretties! Plaid? Glitter? Yay.
I’m also a broke-ass writer. Let’s win stuff!
February 24th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Second DB: Pissing glitter’s the phrase of the day.
February 24th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
I expect to be compensated for this comment.

February 24th, 2010 at 3:32 pm

February 24th, 2010 at 3:49 pm

February 24th, 2010 at 4:39 pm

February 24th, 2010 at 5:03 pm
WANT WANT WANT. I will comment on a gazillion of these if it gets me a pretty princess dress.
February 24th, 2010 at 5:28 pm
Hmm, most of it is not my style. Not nearly preppy and boring and bland enough. God I’m boring. But I like this:

Because, you know, it’s navy and white.
Oh and this: http://www.lulus.com/products/Rising+Sun+Top/18278.html
I’m all about shirts that are comfy and hide my trouble spots but still make it look like I thought about what I’m wearing.
February 24th, 2010 at 5:39 pm
These fuck me pumps, ‘cuz I want them too. http://www.lulus.com/products/Qupid+Nydia+39+Taupe+Faux+Suede+Ruched+Platform+Heel/19680.html

If you win I will be so stoked. Ps if I am the random one I will be giving my gift card to frickineh just because you are both beyond awesomeness
WIN damn it. Win…

February 24th, 2010 at 5:44 pm
They *almost* stole my name. But I’ll forgive them. IF you win.
February 24th, 2010 at 6:30 pm
First of all, I’d suggest you buy some bras : )
Hope you win Gingy
February 24th, 2010 at 6:30 pm
Woop woop! Hope you win, lady!
I say you treat yourself to a “tunic” and leggings deal, which is really just the new track suit. It’s the most comfortable outfit ever, and yet still acceptable to the fashionistas. I am a fan of the plaid tunics…but apparently you can’t pull off this outfit if you pair it with Uggs. Can’t win ‘em all, I guess.
And I second the bizarre Olympic sports! I mean, I’m sure it’s very difficult to alter your heart rate to be able to jump back and forth between skills, but…really?
Best of luck!
February 24th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
FYI: the skiing and shooting competition is called the Biathlon. I think it was a military training exercise: A skill that came in rather handy during wintry warfare that evolved into a rather controversial sport before it finally became a Winter Olympics fixture. Seems like I remember something like it in the Summer Olympics, too–but don’t hold me to it. As far as the curling thing goes, it’s kinda like the shuffleboard game found in a lot of bars. The “sweeping” is actually done to melt the ice a little to speed things up and/or make the “stone” track in a certain direction.
Aren’t I just a wealth of information? I think I need to get a life.
Lulu’s is a great site–thanks for the introduction.
February 24th, 2010 at 6:40 pm
Good luck!!! I love free stuff. I think you should buy some really cute shoes. Just sayin’.
