Know what I did today?
I wore a bunch of bling.
I never wear a bunch of bling.
I decided to wear this outfit that I've been called "exotic looking" in. It's just a purple top with gold and pink (floral) but it apparently plays well with my olive skin, and hazel eyes that I pair with dark rinse skinny jeans. And then, because of the gold in the shirt, I was like, what if I put on this gold necklace my mom gave me as a teen, which then led to adding prominent gold large hoop earrings, which then led to "I wonder if the rings my sister gave me when I was a teen still even fit me 30 pounds heavier than I was then..." (they do, just not on the same fingers I once wore them on).
When I had a meeting with my boss today, the first thing she said to me was "What's going on? What are you doing? I've never seen you like this, a necklace, earrings, rings. It looks beautiful but what's going on?"
I said "Nothing, just felt like it this morning."
She followed by saying, "But you never do this, all these years, you never do this."
So I said "Well, yeah, because I'm not a fuckin princess."
(We laughed and moved on)
Breaking my predictably was okay. Just gonna keep it simple tomorrow, though. I can only bling so much. Gotta razzle dazzle in other ways. ✨️💜✨️
