1-2 weeks ago when I was agonizing over some papers that I had to write for school, I went on a bit of an eBay spree and bought quite a few really cute Spring/Summery dresses. Now, I know, "retail therapy" is NOT always a good idea, but I'm usually very shrewd with my money, and I consider this somewhat-bad habit to be a preferable alternative to what I was truly itching to do in order to deal with all that stress (binge, binge, and - oh yeah - BINGE!). And I *really* wanted to get some new dresses, because I don't have very many that fit me in my current size, heh. Heck, I don't even have very many from when I was bigger, because I've never much liked dresses (thigh chafing, eeek!), but I've become ridiculously captivated with playing dress-up now that the clothes are cheaper and look/feel so much better on me...
WELL, anyways, a couple of the dresses finally arrived today!! And I got to have a little bit of a fashion show for myself, trying them on and planning what I can wear them with, and just generally thinking about how much fun I'll have in them... The size 8 tags were just the icing on the cake, of course, but really I'm claiming the NSV as the confidence and the pure enjoyment of something as simple as cute clothes. Things like this are just one of those little moments that make me smile to myself and think,
Yep, it's worth it...
