in my mind, i want to prolong the enjoyment, the feeling of "newness," to delay the gratification and -- to some degree -- fake a certain nonchalance by not trotting them out at first go. there are also flimsy thoughts of propriety: to save the perfect outfit for it's equivalent occasion. but i never do. i (nearly) always bust it out on the first go -- shoes, jewelry, shirts, purses, dresses, you name it. it's not a desire to show off, nor even to revel in their newness. it's because i can't wait for that perfect event or date in order to feel that good -- who's to say that such a day would ever come? because everyday is an occasion worth dressing up (or down, or which-so-ever-way you please) for.
exhibit a: hamming it up for a college fashion show circa winter 2007. here, you see my affinity for hoop earrings, grey, and uhm...cocktail dresses that resemble cupcakes.
