so yesterday I spent a large chunk of my time watching season four of project runway.
in one of the episodes, a contestant said this:
"life is too short to waste on a bad outfit"
my immediate response to this was "that is so true"
and then the wheels in my head started turning...
there's really no reason why we should wear something that we're not comfortable in.
I think a lot of the time, I find myself trying to make an outfit work when it hasn't done me any good in the past.
with this in mind, I felt convicted to go through my closet, pick out all the items that I've failed with and donate them to charity.
now another thought crept in my head along the same time.
I felt as though because "life is too short", we should keep buying what is "good" so that we can figure out what works and therefore look good all the time.
and with this small spark, my shopaholic little self came rushing out and proceeded to fill my brain with thoughts of shopping.
now this is the power that ten little words had on my thought processes.
I recount this memory, because lately I've been dealing with the notion of need vs. want. of course, there are endless amounts of things that I want as I browse online or walk into malls. but as I peer into my closet, I realize that there is absolutely nothing that I need.
the media is definitely good at what it does and it grows stronger and stronger as the days pass. movies, tvshows, magazines are the greatest instruments of advertisements. they make things look so accessible and so glamorous that it's hard to snap back into reality.
craziness I tell ya.
