judy the fashionista?

So... if you know me you know that i am in no way a 'fashion girl'. I buy whats cheap...whats there...sometimes i'll even try something on.

But today a total stranger came up to me to say she liked my dress and wanted to know where i got it. Granted I am dressed rather girly today (dress AND heels!) but still!

So there you have it...took me being 4 months shy of my 30th birthday but turns out i can manage to dress myself up and look nice on normal days. I AM a girl!! woohoO! heh
On special occasions like my anniversary..a wedding.. something like that i tend to clean up nice but it's not a special occasion today. It's a random thursday! Not only that but on tuesday.. for no other reason than because i woke up early and saw it there i flat ironed my hair!!! Wasn't a birthday or party or anything....just 'cause!

So there you have it. I have become 'girly'. Well, in my estimation anyway. I still won't wear makeup or consider clothes shopping a fun activity. And yes...the combat boots are still getting used.

You know the fact that i'm gonna be 30 in December has been on my mind recently. I think it's pretty damn cool. I wasn't raised to be one of those girls that dread getting older.

And upon reflextion.. now that my 20's will be over, gotta say.. i can't really complain. Half of my 20's was spent with not much to be happy about...i was drifting..., the other half was happy. Hmmm exactly half actually....ha! You gotta love the symmetry :)

I'm not sure what i want to do for my actual bday though. I mean, other than the traditional activities which my bday can NOT be without. namely ice skating and a trip to grimaldi's for a pie.

We'll see.. plenty of time to plan. Speaking of planning.. it's august and i haven't started my Halloween costume yet!!!!

*pout*

Wow - i haven't written this much in a while... *shakes head* wonder what brought that on. :D

confession

i'm going shopping...on purpose.

i shall willingly go to stores and browse until i find the perfect items.. AND it's not even for a special occasion.

i know.. i know.. but i have to. why you ask? because summer is looming. no, it's not the allure of the perfect summer dress to frolic in the park with my sweety in. it's cause this time last year i was working at an art gallery. which meant that mini corduroy skirts, sneakers, and wife beaters were acceptable attire.

but now i'm in a corporate environment and i only have one pair of flats and they hurt. so off i go shop for clothes that i can wear to work.


pray for me to survive the smell of nasty perfume that lurks in department stores, to come out alive among the sale rack...to not scream when all i see is fusia.
