Window Shopping
I am very superstitious. Writing on the wall… I do believe that if you put your purse on the floor your money will be out the door or if you buy a man shoes, he’ll also be walking out of that very same door. They say you should not try wedding dresses on if you’re not engaged to be married. With my luck, I would never get married which is something that I realize I want the older I get, but boy did I want to try a wedding dress on. My little sister is 12 and she said to me, “don’t believe in luck, believe in God.” That shook me to the core! My time soon come to get in that white dress but in the meanwhile, we were shopping for my sister’s bridesmaid dress and my wedding guest dress to my mother’s wedding.
We’re one month out and I’m just surprised how calm she is about the whole process. I would be a bridezilla if I ever had a big, beautiful wedding but I’m more of an elopement girl. Take me to the courthouse and let’s spend the rest of our money on a honeymoon that lasts weeks instead of days and if we we’re really funded, a house! I’d rather safety and security than big celebration though I wouldn’t mind a reception.
The bridesmaids are wearing cinnamon which is the perfect color for a fall wedding and somehow my sister ended up in a black dress. As a guest, my mother was going to let me wear a red gown, which shocked me because on one hand, it’s a bit much for someone else’s wedding and at the same time I would have loved the opportunity. I feel so beautiful and powerful in red. As it turns out, I still get to stand out in my own way: we found me a Barbie pink sequins gown. Woo-hoo!
I been telling everyone I hated pink for so long. Not hated but I was emo as a teen. It wasn’t a color I enjoyed wearing but the more I heal my inner child, the more I want to see it, be around it. It actually makes me very happy! I mean look at this website. I’m always wearing a pink robe. My mom just bought me pink shoes. My slippers are strawberry shortcake pink.
My Barb dreams are coming true!
No, I’m not lucky, I’m blessed! Yes!
