October Debrief - Retail Therapy to Restore Sanity I mentioned my little retail diversion before but thought the post was long enough without talking about my purchases as well, so here are a couple of the things I obtained between mood swings. :P A couple of Le Sac Dresses from American Apparel.  @sandysandy posted about them not long ago and I do love convertible clothing (<3 my Sacha Drake Ultimate Black Dress).  I have never bought anything from AA before so I’m not sure how this will turn out, not to mention how it’ll look on me… and the dress is back-ordered. :/ Boo.  Still, looking forward to having a bit of a play. :) Cute little Mad Men-esque dress from YesStyle.  I love this style, but unfortunately I can’t raid my mother’s enviable retro wardrobe because I have broader shoulders and a wider rib-cage.  There are a number of her beautiful dresses that I have ogled and stared at in futility wondering if I could possibly have them altered to fit… Alas. Spanking new old Minolta 28mm f/2.8 lens from teh ebays.  I adore my 50mm but being an effective 70-mumble on a cropped sensor camera makes it a little tricky for some shots.  The 28mm as an effective 50-mumble may be a little more practical for other applications (like food shots) but it’s nice to have another prime in any case. :)
