Ok, so we're 2 weeks in. Up until today i've been ok with the whole idea of this challenge. I read the new magazines last weekend without any sudden pangs for shopping.On Monday I returned a sale handbag (bought Dec 2011) to Anya Hindmarch without any regret and then spent an hour in John Lewis, where, for the first time ever I felt lost.
I was returning an eye cream, that instead of making me look younger and more hydrated, had disagreed with my skin and temporarily aged me another 10 years and given me flaky red scratchy under eye skin - always a mood enhancer! £25 better off, I should have been excited and gone in search of something new, but I was all outta love for my fave store. The mojo had gone. This weeks Grazia magazine was dull, because the fashion didn't interest me.
Gradually, i've been sending the fashion oriented emails to the spam folder and not been tempted by last ditch attempts to make me sale shop. Until today.
The Guardian online and Jess Cartner-Morley to be precise. Her video on coloured denim. I've wanted some coloured jeans for ages. I have various shades of blue and black but no pops of primary or pastel colours. The video was like the first time i went into the Herve Chapelier shop in Paris, looking for bags. Beautiful colours everywhere - like a crayola collection for adults. I could feel myself frowning and memorising my favourite brands and colours. I was imagining myself in a cherry denim or teal. They'd look fab with numerous (unworn) shoes from my wardrobe...
So what can i do about this? Can i bleach some old denim and re-colour it? Is there any hope for me? will i make it til the end of January?
Will i get the ketchup stain out of my long sleeved essential white t-shirt?
