Armed and Dangerous

I was fighting a cold this weekend so when my neighbors invited the kids for an outing, I couldn't turn down the few hours to myself.  That combined with my husband doing the grocery shopping, my cold was nearly cured (well, not really)! And in my few hours alone, I reunited with a few old friends: Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda in SATC the movie (the first one, the good one).  They always remind me of a few of my own love affairs.  My love affair with my friends, fashion, and a little city that never sleeps.

It also reminded me of a quote that I read or heard recently, and I can't remember where or when (which is driving me coocoobananas) but it went something like this:  "Fashion is our armor in life."  Yes, this is a little dramatic and over the top, but it got me thinking that my armor, although perhaps strong in that most of it is black, needs a little spicing up...you know, for some real protection!  Perhaps, a little danger added to my closet, will help fight off stress, time management issues, and maybe even this annoying cold!

Do I go the Diva route? (I mean, let's not go overboard here)....

I think that a little bit of everything is good.  Hey, my daughter doesn't want to dress as the same princess everyday, why should I?

Keeping in the SATC spirit, my bestie co-contributer, will be posting tomorrow on a little slice of life in NYC!

And I'll be back with shoe shopping in the spirit of helping others! 

Hey, I can't mention SATC without talking about shoes.
