Accessorizing with a box of Kleenex

April 2nd, 2008 at 09:57 am

I'm taking my red, chapped nose and seal bark out tonight since my husband needs a date for his work event.

I had planned on getting a manicure, so my hands wouldn't look like I was just digging up the back 40 (which I was). However, I'm trying to conserve my energy today, so I've decided to skip it and save some money.

I do have to pay for valet parking at the hotel where the event is being held since there's no way I'm hoofin' it in high heels. (And, yes, that money will be coming from my husband's parking stash.....)

This is the dress I've decided to wear (since I know BA and DisneySteve were dying to see it....):

Hopefully it won't clash too much with the box of tissues I'll be carrying with me.

Just scotch tape a lovely curtain tie-back tassel to the top of the Kleenex box and it will make a lovely evening bag. If you feel it isn't quite dressy enough, randomly hot glue some black sequins to the box.
