INSPIRATION

I own one pair of tennis shoes, one pair of peds and one pair of open toe lifts that I guarantee you, if I’m wearing them, you won’t see me moving much and at some point during the day/night I will fall over just standing there. That’s it, 3 pairs of shoes. Shoes do not inspire me.

I cannot put an outfit together to save my life. And if I have to purchase shoes to go with it, you’ll most likely see me in a dress wearing my New Balance. I hate shopping for clothes. I’m still wearing shirts from 1989 (seriously, I can prove it! Just ripped all the shoulder pads out and moved on.) I have to force myself to buy new underwear and socks twice a year. I own 1 dress, no skirts, I own one purse and I do not care that it doesn’t go with my shoes. Clothes do not inspire me.

I have worn the same earing studs for about 9 years now. I retired any rings to a drawer long ago as I have a tendency to play with them, drop them down grates, in toilets and leave them sitting on counters in public restrooms. I have 1 necklace John bought me that I love, but only wear on rare occasions. Adornments do not inspire me.

THIS INSPIRES ME

And the price tag makes a great excuse not to have to shop for clothes.

Isn't she pretty?

p.s. Thank you honey.

Colleen I am very similar. I don't enjoy clothes shopping and I even make jewelry (occassionally to sell in boutiques or as gifts) and I don't even wear that. It's like a phase for me, other years I'll get into clothes and shoes, then go long periods of not. I hope you get your bauble!

I own a pair of 20 dollar target tennis shoes,and a pair of payless "dress" shoes...I am the same way with stuff like that.I am much more excited over clothes lately though which is concerning because I would usually get my wardrobe from the target clearance rack now I am moving on up to Kohls which is a bit more expensive...more expensive than a three dollar long sleeved tee anyway...glad you got a fun present!Everyone deserves one once in awhile:)

I'm having a hard time understanding the scale of this sculpture?!? How big is it? Not that it matters because your house is gargantuan so it could be the size of a bus and still look appropriate, but you should take a picture of it in context so I can figure it out.
