nollyAt Conjecture, I got another of the wonderful glasses-compatible masks Karey Leichel makes. This one is a leopard/cheetah (spotted, whichever) cat mask, with a bit of hematite, and some beads...I'll post a picture eventually. So, of course, I needed a costume to go with it.
A bit of poking around online found some promising items at Torrid and Lane Bryant, so after work I met![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
samuraimeg at the Mission Valley mall for adventures in shopping. The combination of rain and the somewhat worn condition of my flip flops made it rather more adventuresome; after the Nth time she saved me from crash landing, it was off to Payless for new shoes. Which were on sale, yay. In fact, most of what I got was on sale -- both the denim scooter and the leopard top at Lane Bryant were on sale (plus I'd printed a 10% off coupon from the website), and the hat and belt at Torrid were half off, though the skirt and socks weren't.. But the skirt I got was $10 less than the one I'd planned to get. You see, Torrid tends to run large. So while I'm just fitting into the size 16 jeans I'm wearing, the size 16 skirts at Torrid are practically falling off. But I bet stuff at Hot Topic would still be too small. What a dilemma... Anyway, they didn't have the one I'd wanted in anything smaller than size 16, but I found another one, which will work both for the costume and for other things, so it's all good.
