Regret

A few days ago, I indulged in a giant $4 piece of German chocolate cake from Irving Farm.  It only took me walking the perimeter of Gramercy Park to finish it, and it wasn't even that good. Ugh. But, I did learn an important lesson: pay attention to labels.  Had I known it was GCC and not GCB (brownie) I would never have gotten it. Well, maybe I would.

Anyway, this leads me to my main concern: I'm worried my new tres chic winter coat:

Pictured: not me

might be unbearably itchy.  Now, had I READ THE LABEL, I would have realized it was 100% wool!  But no, I was caught up in the buttons, belt, cut, etc.  I do love the way it looks, but if I wear a dress or skirt with tights (which I almost always do in cold weather),  my legs get sooo itchy.  The tags are off, so I have no choice but to keep it and scratch my way through the winter. Or wear pants.

This may not be such a problem when I don't have such a heinously long commute, which hopefully will be soon as I am going to look at apartments tomorrow. Yippie!
