Ok whatever - fine mom
I have "enough stuff".
Except that I don't.
And I never will
MUAHAHA.
Why?
Well, because I will always-- you hear that mom?: Always,
be able to justify indulging in another maternally-deemed "unnecessary" purchase, regardless of it's objective "impracticality".
Outwardly, I can conjure up a pretty sophisticated-sounding nay-sayer-countering excuse as to why I "need" said item in my wardrobe.
It's "versatile" or it's "classic",
it's absence is creating a notable "hole" in my closet,
I don't have anything to wear to "[[insert traditionally clothes-conscious event here]]" or with my "[[other obnoxiously impractical 'investment' piece]],
I'm always cold/hot/underdressed/overdressed without it, etc, etc
etc, etc, etc
etc, etc, etc, etc
But really, guys,
it usually comes down to one of 3 things.
1. I like it.
2. I (think I) look good in it.
3. Someone else looks good in it and I want to look/be/act like someone else.
And really though; how can I be expected to refrain from indulging in my life's work?
I mean, chefs get to eat their own food, right?
So it's pretty much the same thing.
Except not at all.
Take for example: this outfit,
which, at each item's individual purchase point seemed practical,
but the majority of which I now know I could live without.
Except that I couldn't.

Because self-gratuitous retail-therapy is necessary for our survival #AMIRIGHTORAMIRIGHT?
Yup. I'm right.
Your life depends on it.
Cheers.
All purchases were completely necessary because you look stunning! I love the top

ok a. the pj-esque top was definitely necessary, also the blazer obviously b. after watching Pocahontas 1 and 2 with doodle last night i would have to agree that she would have worn those boots...which makes them that much cooler in my book :)

Girl, I bought a pink rabbit fur beanie last night because in the instant it seemed like a total "must-have." So don't feel bad about your purchases, because at least you can come up with some sort of logical reasoning/excuse/explanation of usefulness for them. I rarely wear hats and I don't even really like pink 99% of the time. And just FYI there is an editorial in the latest issue of Hunger magazine that reminded me of you - the model's hair looked just like your self-proclaimed "unstyled" hair. So, basically, your look is really in right now.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you have to look more and more like a supermodel everyday?! GODDAMN. I am the worst at self-gratuitous retail-therapy...the worst. At the thrift store I'm like, "Ehhh...I might wear this once. #NEED"
ReplyDeleteYou're such a crack up girl...really killin it lately. XOXO Britt
