First World Problems

[Vannah]

Do you ever catch yourself being ridiculously ungrateful and have to bring yourself back to reality?

The other day I got the swimsuit in the mail that I ordered for pictures on my Cancun trip. The one online was most definitely black with white polka dots but when I opened the package the polka dots were... light beige. *Gasp!* With no time to send it back and search for another, what's a girl to do?? This girl channeled her inner Tim Gunn, got some white fabric pens and "made it work."

Then I started to feel so silly to be worried about the shade of white on my polka dots when there are kids in Africa that don't even have swimsuits.

Feel free to use this thread to shamelessly indulge in all of your first world problems!

I bought some second-hand Louboutin's from a girl on facebook, thinking they were a great deal. Now I've discovered that they are fakes... and I'm so sad. I was so excited to finally have a pair.

Now I want to make a trip to Dallas just to buy some new ones. I feel jilted.

I can't imagine how disappointing that is! I think you should treat yourself and go get your shoes!

Ew... Depending on how the fabric pens turn out, I may have to add you to my blacklist if those polka dots aren't white when you post your pics... Beige would really ruin it for me...

Just don't put red tape on the bottom of them...

Well, luckily for me the fabric pens are working well.

I've been planning outfits for a professional photo shoot… Thought they would go great with this dress.

Are you going to post a picture of yourself in your new suit? I love polka dots.

P.S. I love your threads, Vannah! They're always so much fun.

Thank you so much! I will be taking some pictures in it on the beach. It's a high waisted, 1950s Marilyn Monroe style. It fits like a glove... but if anyone needs me I'll still be over here coloring my polka dots until they are a shade of white that pleases me.

My first world problem of the day: trying to decide where to hang my dry-erase board in my apartment.

Hang it close to where you keep your caffeine. You'll have something to write on when those brilliant ideas start flowing.

Well, it is a big board...

Omg on the plane I realized that I forgot to bring my red lipstick for my pictures. What a tragedy!

Update: Fortunately there is a MAC store in the international terminal of Hartsfield-Jackson There must be some kind of religious deity looking out for me!

Whatever the lipstick status, I'm looking forward to those pictures!
