A good day

So guess what. I shopped til I dropped today. It was so much fun. I really needed some clothes. I’m not looking forward to my total credit card bill this month. Let’s just say I could really use that $1500 that we’ve spent on the unfortunate happenings that have resulted from my poor car karma in the past.

I have to admit my fashion sense is not that great. I have pretty good fashion sense when it comes to Indian clothes but when it comes to everyday wear and professional clothes, I kinda need help. I’m not that bad but I could use some help from Stacey London. I also have a bad habit of donating clothes when I think I don’t need them and then I realize oops, I could actually still use a couple things (so after talking to Preeti tonight, she made me promise that I will not donate the clothes I bought today for the next five years. I went ahead and took the oath!) But I can’t help it. I am not a hoarder. I am totally the opposite. You know those people who have trouble letting go of things and they keep all sorts of possessions for years and years? I’m not like that. I have no problem getting rid of things. I have some memorabilia here and there and some books and music I like to keep on the move, but in general I don’t like clutter (but I’m not a neat freak either).

The Universe is being kind to me lately. I met someone through my bhangra class and we’ve become good friends pretty quickly. She’s awesome. It's nice to have sisters. It’s nice to be told what to do by a sister. She made me write my shopping list so I did that and then she took over and basically told me what stores we were going to go to and what I needed in my wardrobe. Seriously, she was amazing. She literally picked all my pieces, made me mix and match, taught me the basics of good fashion sense and what basics I needed in my wardrobe, and made me buy a thong! I don’t really like thongs but sometimes a woman has got to do what a woman has got to do.

I really don't have many clothes these days (partly my fault) so I was commanded by a few family members and friends to get a new wardrobe. So yea, it isn't complete yet but I have to say as I was trying some new dresses and skirts (and strappy heels, yea baby) on today, I couldn't help but feel a little sexy. But feeling sexy wasn't always easy. As I was picking out my underwear, I said to my friend 'why don't I just get these nude colored briefs over here. Nobody is really going to know what's down there.' But she persuaded me to get something a little more fun. 'You don't have to have someone to feel sexy for' she said. 'You should feel sexy for yourself.' So I thought cool! I'm shopping for myself, looking good for myself.

I'm....too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my thong, so sexy it hurts....

Anyhoo, it was a good day. I'm glad human beings decided to wear clothes. It's a good business.

I'm bringin sexy back :)
