Caution!!!! Bad Attitude = Bad Purchase

Goto comments

I stopped into one of my favorite boutique’s last week and made one of the most ridiculous purchases in my personal history of shopping. I was in a bad mood, irritated and thought a little “retail therapy” would cheer me up. Interestingly, Wikipedia says this about retail therapy, “Items purchased during periods of retail therapy are sometimes referred to as ‘comfort buys’”. So here is my comfort buy…

The Gun Necklace

What?? A gun!! Certainly everyone is entitled to have a bad day and need comforting. But violence, even of the fashion-kind, is never the answer. I’ve been thinking (of course!), is this purchase symbolic? Of my attitude towards this crappy economic climate? Do I need this trinket to protect myself from the fashion dramas that seem to keep finding me? Am I a fashion-loving thug ready to bust a blogger’s “cap” in those wearing the wrong shoes or mom jeans? I’ve heard that singer Rhianna often wears a similar gun necklace and recently had multiple guns tattooed on her upper body. Perhaps a little ironic with the violence surrounding her life! Regardless of the reasoning behind this stoopid purchase, I’m taking it back. I don’t need negativity hanging around my neck.

Instead, I’m looking for something positive. An accessory that represents me and my fashion attitude – Wonder Woman Cuffs! With their shiny gold luster and ability to deflect negativity, the cuffs are the perfect accessory of positivity! And sure to defend me against future bad attitudes and hopefully, more bad purchases.
