Bad things are supposed to happen in threes, right? What about Good-Bad things? Is there a limit to those, you know unexpected good things that end up being bad or the bad things that turn out okay...I don't actually believe in luck, I believe in destiny and I've been having some terrible destiny lately.
-I deposited a significant amount of money into our British bank account during my vacation, since it was in a foreign currency, I was told it would be cleared later. When I checked my account back home in the US, I was SHOCKED to see they deposited a 1/3 of what it should have been. Still in talks with Barclays to clear up this mess, it's been 3 months!
- I got some unexpected good news, that rung me through emotionally, and ended badly.
- My husband left his MacBook in the car and asked me to grab it, which I forgot to do. We live in a very safe neighborhood, so imagine my shock when he woke up the next morning, found the car doors open, documents strewn about the drive, and you guessed it...his MacBook gone. Some guy broke into every home in our little Cul-de-Sac, talk about ballsy!
*We contacted the police, who apprehended the guy, driving around in a stolen car with all the goods inside. Thank Heavens for lazy criminals.
-I may have lost my diamond earrings (and some other less-emotionally-significant jewelry). I will be devastated if I don't find them. They represented a new chapter in my life, and well...I wanted to hold on to that feeling of rejuvination forever!
I'm actually pretty good (Alhamdulillah) at taking bad news, so much so that people will sometimes repeat themselves over conversations, days, weeks, because they don't think I've understood. On the contrary, my belief in destiny allows me to accept whatever comes my way. I know bad things happen, but mooning, and whining for prolonged periods of time is useless. I try to brush my sadness off because there are so many worse things happening in the world.
STILL. Every cloud has the proverbial lining of silver, and I am intent on staying optimistic, which is totally against my nature. I am ecstatic the MacBook was found, I'm hopeful the money will clear, and if I don't find my earrings, I hope whoever stole them dies a fiery death.
On that pleasant note, I woke up early enough to get everything (save for two items that they just didn't have around Chicago), on my list from 3.1 Philip Lim for Target. Yay! So without further woe, here is the high-low dress. I got a lot of compliments on it, especially from random people, and I LOVE the material. That is by far the best thing about the collection, unlike Prabal Gurung's stuff for Target, the material is EXCELLENT.

Aww so sorry to hear about that robbery! We had a similar robbery right out of our garage- crazy huh? I guess the thinking is if it is so brazen like in the middle of the day or middle of a street, then they can't be criminals! When I thought I lost a bunch of drycleaning, I tried to think of how material things are not important, and that sort of got me through it. Btw, LOVE your Philip Lim dress! I somehow did not get ONE THING from the collaboration - i am still sort of in shock about that. I just wasn't dying for any one piece for some odd reason. Anyway that dress may just be the one thing I do look for now! You look great -
