Let's clarify.
I've gotten some concerned feedback regarding my use of the phrase "filling a void" last night.
I was tired, and it was a poorly executed joke. Yes, I'm getting divorced, but believe me, there is no void. Maybe some anger and sadness about losing almost 2 years of my life, but no void.
In all honesty, I like to shop. I love to shop alone. I take my time and try everything on and try to only spend a certain amount and I take out my calculator and figure out what would be the best way to spend my money. Finally, after 29 years, the fact that I am a financial planner's daughter is evident.
Today's outfit took me a while to figure out. I hate being indecisive. I chose a sheer black accordion pleated skirt, mustard yellow t-shirt with some ruffly flowery nonsense on the left side of the neckline, and a black 3/4 sleeve cardigan. Sheer stockings, a long, multistrand necklace in tones of gunmetal and gold, my trusty watch and...grey, yellow and black high top chucks. I call them my Batman chucks. Trust me, they don't look as weird as they sound.
I'd like to take this moment to say that Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower" just came on my Jem Pandora station. Nice.
Picture later.

Early to bed...
...early to rise, right? I hope so! I could really use a good night's rest. As soon as I'm finished here, I'm hitting the sack.
I had a therapy session tonight. It was...insightful. I discovered a few different ways my perfectionism manifests itself and that I'm slightly obsessive-compulsive. I also discovered that when I am told I must "grieve" over my divorce, it's more about grieving for the loss of over a year of my life and my identity, rather than grieving for little mr. can't be wrong. More on that trainwreck another day.
You know the grey shrug and black/blue/grey skirt I mentioned yesterday? I wore them both today. I didn't feel well this morning and wanted to be comfy so this is what I came up with:

I'm kneeling so you can't see that I'm wearing grey chucks. This would have looked much cuter with boots, but I wasn't in the mood.
I went way low maintenance with the hair and makeup, too. I left my hair curly and just pulled it back into a messy bun. As for my face, some eyeliner and lip gloss and that was it...and the lip gloss wasn't even until I had to leave the house for my 2nd job. Whatever, I tried.
