verbminxtalk to me, people. you're so quiet lately...
I tried on various cheapo things that I've picked up lately... a long blue tank nightgown in cotton, a black muscle tee with betty boop and a checklist in metallic gold with white accents:
[ ] goddess
[ ] angel
[ ] princess
[*] all of the above
I tried it on... I don't think it's me. It's not that it looks bad, just that I don't see myself wearing it a lot, so I might as well return it. I have 90 days to decide, though.
For the past year or so I've been in an ultra-casual state: hoodies and baby tees and denim skirts abounding, maybe a pretty sweater here and there with nice slacks. Now I feel like dressing up a little more and not wearing so many shirts with "things" on them. I did see a black shirt with glittery cherries on it that I liked... and a pair of red satin platform heels. But I can't buy any of it until I make some money on ebay.
Have decided to return the Birkenstocks that my mom bought me to wear around the house, too. Individually they were reasonably comfortable, but as a pair (after I snipped apart the plastic thing that held them together) they were pretty awful. I will stick to my $15 slides, since I'm not wearing them outside of the house anyway.
So that's at least $50 right there. & so many more things I can sell (my Amano and Utena books, for example). I'm a storehouse of things that can be turned for a profit. My eye is good that way.
I need to get away from things... even when so many of my "things" are books or music, enrichment given solid form. I need to give away a lot and sell a lot. I wish I knew where to start and that it didn't take so much energy and initiative. I wish I could turn a profit from my creative talents. I wish I wish I wish. "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride," says my grandmother, and she's probably right. I can live with so little, I've proven it on trip after trip. Why can't I manage to do it at home?
serious introspective mode coming up.
