I was supposed to have a doctor's appointment today. However, the doctor took off for vacation, and I never received a call to change my appointment. Yet, I enjoyed being able to sleep late and relax.

The Mystery Box I ordered from Universal Standard finally came in the mail. As usual, there were some out of season items in the shipment - there were two items with turtlenecks. However, there were 3 dresses I could wear now, two of them likely to stay in my wardrobe. Given that I am not a cisgender woman, I have to be careful in how I dress. I don't want to be seen as a man in a dress. I would rather be seen as a homely woman in that same dress. So I am careful to choose dresses that draw attention to parts of the body I like, and hide parts of the body that I don't like.
I'm not sure if I'll wear either of the two wrap dresses from the box that often. But I will consider it IF I wear a statement necklace. It took me a while to figure out how to work one of the belt ties, and it will be an ongoing pain each time I wear either of these dresses. (FYI: The belt from the left side of the dress goes through a hole on the right side of the dress, so that one can tie the two sides together for a safe fit. Given that I don't have a woman's hips, I'm not sure whether I wasted my money. But the wrap dresses from the "Dresses" shipment look much better than the shirt dress I received in the "Miscellaneous Items" shipment.
Do I feel that I wasted some money? Yes. But, as usual, there is usually enough in the box to make the gamble worth the money I spend on the box. And I think the same holds true for this shipment....
