oops.
i gave in to the urge to shop today. twice.
as a result i felt a twinge of buyers remorse (or rather, money-spending remorse), until i got home and retried on everything i had bought- reaffirming my decision to buy them in the first place...
after work i went to visit my friend kelly at her shop, the crystal cage. the fact that it's around the corner makes it very easy to drop in and hang out after work. especially when i've parked across the street....
anyway, today i got some earrings- gorgeous earrings, that were actually reasonably priced. and i put them on and just couldn't bring myself to take them off. so it was settled. i just handed over my credit card and kept chatting. kelly was telling me all about her life. she was trying to boost my spirit and tell me that men come around all the time as long as you're open to it. she used her crazy life as an example. except her life was super fun and exciting! she's dated NFL players and film producers, been engaged and married more times than she likes to count in public, owned a nightclub, did a stint in LA, and now lives in the suburbs and runs this shop on a cute street in philly. honestly, how does somebody get a life like that? it has to be more than just being 'open'. she has so much charisma and energy- she had to make some of that happen. and so i felt inspired, wearing my new earrings, to try and be more wild and open. i have no idea how to go about doing that. but i owe it to myself to try.
