five thousand shades of blue
Friday, June 15, 2001
Retail therapy is a wonderful thing. I was driving home yesterday on my way to do some onerous tasks, and noticed that the new Goodwill outlet -- occupying a former home improvement store's space, so it's freaking HUGE -- was having its grand opening. Naturally, I was powerless against it and felt my car turning into the parking lot of its own accord. Free Pepsi, popcorn and snowcones. I walk into the building and am wowed by its enormity. I took a very quick turn through the aisles and managed to find a gorgeous, embroidered ochre yellow dress for $4 and the
Brian Setzer swing CD for $2.25. Not bad.
I'm wearing the dress today, and every regular who has come into the café this morning has commented on what a nice dress it is. It's cheery on a grey, overcast morning like this is, and the colour really looks good on me (in a weird way, it matches my hair!). Honestly, I don't know WHY people give this stuff away. I've worn my brand new butter amber earrings with it, and it's really made me feel a whole lot better.
is
this just not enough…?
