Strangely lady-ish.
I am going to a wedding, of two serenely lovely peeps.
But something about the wedding has fired off some craziness in my brain.
Some appearance-based craziness.
It goes like this:
ImustlookprettyImustlookprettyImustlookprettyImustlookprettyImustlookprettyImustlookprettyImustlookprettyImustlookprettyImustlookprettyImustlookprettyImustlookprettyImustlookprettyImustlookprettyImustlookprettyImustlookprettyImustlookpretty.
And it is mostly manifesting itself through the excessive purchasing of matching accessories.
In the past two days I have bought three hairbands, two necklaces, three bracelets, some amount of hairslides and two cardigans.
In particular I have gone a bit funny about things being matching. In a set sort of a way.
I am confused, for this dress-up business is something new. Usually I am more of a casual sort of a gal. I can't help thinking *whispers* that it is not really about the outfit.
(I am about to do a counselling course, and this might account for my being so very insightful.)
Answers on a postcard please.
PS. This particular craziness contributed significantly to a rather embarrassing moment earlier today. The setting: the changing rooms of a cheapy high street shop designed for those somewhat younger than myself. The item: a red strapless dress with puffty skirt designed for those somewhat younger than myself. The problem: getting stuck. I was there for some time and just couldn't bring myself to ask for the help of the assistant. For she would have seen my bosom!

Thought I'd say "hi" since I've ended up here more than once thanks to that Black Boxes widget.
I think I'll not offer you any advice on the issue in question (because my advice would be rubbish for a start) but I hope you work something out.
Must point out as well, I read In the past two days I have bought three hairbands as In the past two days I have bought three husbands. My god, I thought, what kind of mad place have I ended up at here? :)
Hello trousers! I have ended up at your place a few times too thanks to the widgety fun, but I was too shy to comment :)
Your wonderful mis-reading makes me think that maybe I am not the only one to be re-considering what might actually be going in the brain area...!
No need to be shy - but no obligation either :)
The above is but one of many misreadings - I keep meaning to note them down and do a post about them (but haven't as yet..)
So DID you ask for assistance? And the puffty skirt … really, you're a woman of the world. You have to know that puffty skirts are a one season wonder! Plus everyone would know of its Top Shop provenance.
As for the counselling thing dragging up all your issues … naaaaa.
If you think back, I suspect epidemics of craziness have been quite common in your past. Just a guess, obviously, but somehow a sound one.
PS: You could always ask the wisdom of the crowd, photoblog your candidate outfits and let us be your guide!
