I Got Some Troubles But They Won't Last, Or Happy St. Catrick's Day

I have Christina (of Down and Out Chic) to thank for this post, which ultimately led to the discovery of this dress. I've been on the hunt for the perfect quirky vintage dress with a cat print for ages and ages. When this little number popped up in the Old Age Vintage shop, my heart skipped a beat.

 

When it arrived on my doorstep this afternoon, I knew it would be the perfect piece for today--I wouldn't have to sacrifice my ensemble for the sake of the holiday. Good thing, too, considering I work right smack in the middle of so so many bars and restaurants, and boy do Decatur-ites know how to celebrate!

To be extra festive, we were handing out these silly glasses with purchase. A perfect accessory for the beer gourmand or the festival frequenter.

All silliness aside, I hit a major bump in my day immediately after snapping these photos. My brain must be turned off, because I took a mental shortcut and got my camera remote and my car key confused. Okay, maybe I'll give myself some slack. They are both small black objects. I guess.

And then I managed to lock my keys, camera, lunch, and house keys in the trunk of the car. Much to my chagrin, the outfit I was so excited about earlier quickly become embarrassing as I walked to the neighbor's to use their telephone. 

I managed to get over the paranoia that the neighbors thought I was "that weird girl who likes cats" from next door. Though it did take some time and a bubble tea to smooth over.

So all in all, it ended up being a Happy St. Catrick's Day. How was yours?
