Summer is usually a two-month period I like to reserve for changes that can only be made with an increase in time. Some of these self-imposed changes actually get put into effect and some of them sputter out miserably. To witness my sputterings & successes see below.
Success #1: Jasmine (yes, from Aladdin) Hair *see above
The easiest change to accomplish and possibly the most superficial is the change to mah hur. What I refer to as the Princess Jasmine part has always made me look...awkward, but I have mastered it (with the help with extensions). It's just a fun, simple change that makes me look decidedly more "ethnic", as in what race is she again?
Success #2: Grown-Up Store Shopping
The second in my superficial attempts at summer changes is going to stores other than my staple mall haunts (F21and H&M). My boss preaches the J. Crew gospel so I decided to visit despite the non-college-student-budget-friendly prices. I was apprehensive but lucked onto this bracelet which is apparently a popular little gem. The result: A lingering "I'm too fancy for y'all" feeling.
Failure #1: The Dog Days Are Over
You remember when I said I would die if I didn't get a dog? Well, I didn't die and I got a dog. Meet Lulu, my precious dog, or my former precious dog. No, I didn't kill a dog! Geesh. Long story short, I had her for a week and felt incredibly guilty that she stayed at home alone all day. She needed a whole family that would love & entertain her and I was only one pathetic person. I just didn't have the time so I found her a family to give her a whole load of love and then some. I still feel like a pathetic person, though.
Lesson time: Don't get a dog unless it's just as lazy as you are, and chances are it won't be.
Success #3: I Too Can Read, As Well
The minute I turned 21 I took full advantage of my cash & ID. Now just about every restaurant I go to I order a drink. I swear I'm not an alcoholic (although Karen Walker is my hero), but hot damn, it just feels right to order a pretty drink with dinner. Damn the media and their influence telling me that drinking makes me fancy! I think I need a drink, and you probably do too after all of this.
Your hair looks really nice., and I love that J.Crew bracelet. You've just reminded me that I really need to get back to my reading.

Did you just turn 21? Happy belated!
ReplyDeleteI remember last year, you got those Steve Madden oxfords that I wanted to get, but was waiting for the price to go down...& I missed out on those. Boo!
Princess Jasmine, yes! You look stunning!!! More middle parts, & yay to extensions. I will be 80 & still be shopping at F21...My only grown up store is Express, does that count? & OMG, puppy! How cute! I am sorry you had to give it away. I am super lazy, so does that mean I would have to give away my puppy that I get, whenever that may be. I ready trashy teen books, now I am on the Fifty series, I need to start reading grow up books. Pretty drinks are just too pretty not to order...The one in the mason jar, what's that? I never gotten a drink in a mason jar, what gives?
