I went shopping






After my blog a couple of days ago, I decided I needed to be fashion policewoman to myself.

As of tonight, several items have been tossed, and several new items have been added.

IN

Gold Carlos Santana shoes, a gold Kathy Van Zeeland purse and some Guess sandals, a white eyelet sundress, wide belt. My former employer also contributed several new skirts and blouses. I look like a grown up now.

OUT

The San Francisco messenger bag I've been carrying for several years, the retro 70s wooden platform sandals (Blech!), T-shirts that are worn, threadbare and too short.

It's time to face the truth - I'm not in California anymore, and I'm too old to wear juniors fashions. A big birthday is on its way, and it's time to dress according to my city and my age.

I understand this post on so many levels.

Glad someone understands.

I made another purchase that I'm a little embarassed to post publicly yet, but it has made me incredibly happy (and the purchase hasn't even arrived yet.)

Just like a beer, or a cigarette, sometimes shopping is the answer.
