Retail therapy
I’m coming off of a grading marathon and it’s almost spring break. I need new shoes (specifically, something dressed-up to wear to the Cecilia Bartoli concert, and a nice pair of boots wouldn’t hurt, either). It’s time for a little retail therapy.
I’ve just ordered Jacqueline Fee’s The Sweater Workshop, and I suspect that this book will necessitate a trip to the yarn store once it arrives. I’m also looking longingly at a whole bunch of shoes from Icon. A shoe shop in my immediate vicinity has started carrying them, and I stopped in for a closer look this evening on my way home from the grade-a-thon. They’re really far too expensive for me. But who wouldn’t want some Gustav Klimt sandals? Or some Andy Warhol-esque flats? (Then there are the handbags. Especially this one.)
Suddenly I feel so girly. I think I’ll go re-paint my toenails now.
The sweater book looks excellent. I think my trip to San Francisco is going to include yarn shops (especially if the exchange rate is still $2 to the £). Do I have to paint my toenails too?
Knit!
OK, that’s it. I give up. All the cool girls are knitting….
