Don’t Trust Mirrors

by //

Do you remember in Clueless when Cher says she never trusts mirrors, so she takes polaroids? Well, I just learned my lesson with that one! I put on an outfit that isn’t me, typically. But I was feeling feisty and decided to give it a try. After Bob took photos, I realized why it wasn’t me. Because I don’t like it at all! Ha ha! Do you know what it’s like to be wearing something and then realize you don’t like it, but can’t change?

Um, yeah.

So, here are just a few pics of my face. Ha ha ha! Oh, and one of my sassy new boots that I’m pretty in love with.

Have you ever done this?

Yea! It’s my birthday!

Oh, and that rhymed. 🙂

Have you ever noticed when you have money and are looking to spend it you can never find anything worth spending it on, but when the allowance your husband gave you is gone, you find so much! Ugh! I hate that. That is what today was. I basically made Bob go shopping with me all day. We had a brief break for lunch, and then back to shopping. We must have shopped for 5 hours. And Bob got more than I did. Seriously? I can’t believe how many clothes look bad on me. Or just plain mediocre. But I did get some boots! And I have money to spend another day.

However, yesterday, I got this fabulous bag and top. I’m pretty happy with the sequins for day and this bag should go with my boots that I’m getting on Friday. EEEEE! I love new clothes.

How was your day?

You know all those people who say they found cool stuff while they were “thrifting?” You know those people? I do too. I am not one of them. I may have found 5 cool things. And do you know how much I’ve looked? A lot! Normally I find old grody t-shirts that are short and wide. Sick! Plus, I always feel like taking a shower after I leave. Double sick!

Maybe my problem is that I can’t figure out how to see the potential and make those weird pieces actually look cool. Like Paige. She’s a freakin’ genius. But one day I went in and found some shoes for Bob and then at the register I found this unpriced Michael Kors necklace. So, I asked how much it was and since it was unmarked, she gave it to me for $1!

I walked a little taller that day—after I disinfected the necklace and myself that is. Ha ha. Maybe I need a psychologist to get over my phobia of dirty things. That’s why I got a dog.
