<Green Sweaters Make Me Shiny
>
Yesterday I went shopping with Ramsey's roommate, and my good friend, Sean. I don't usually like shopping with people. I like to shop with Brandy, but I love to shop with Sean. I feel like many of my girlfriends deliberate over outfits too long, and I get crazy waiting for them to be done with one store. Or, they try to convince me that something is pretty when I know that it's not really my style. And my most hated task, is assuring someone that the outfit looks good, and looks good on them. But Sean's perfect. He rifles through clothes at about the same pace that I do, so I don't mind going in an all-men's store with him as much as I mind going in a women's store with my girlfriends. He also has very classy style, and encourages me to buy the things that make me look great, and straightens me out when I'm having a temporary lapse of judgement. He asks for my opinion and input, but doesn't need a huge monologue on my part detailing exactly why he should or should not buy it. Even when I shop alone, I'm usually grumpy. But I actually have fun with him.
I'm incredibly happy that I'm actually friends with his roommates and they're not just pleasent or friendly with me because I'm dating Ramsey. I almost feel as if I'm at least a small part of their "family", and they're the closest thing to a "family" I have in Louisville. Of course, I'm a lot closer with many of my other friends. But when I go over to their house, it feels like a home, and they're all in one spot. They're all operating as a family.
I spent about $50, which is a little more than I wanted to, but I only bought what I loved. Sean, however, spent $600 - not to mention the approximately $800 he's already spent in the last like, three weeks, on new clothes. He looks stunning in all of them, but it's still quite a lot all at once. We all know that it's because of his new boyfriend, Gill. Gill is infinitely adorable and wonderful, and I think he's invigorated Sean. I don't think that it's so much that Sean is changing to be better for Gill, as much as Sean is changing because Gill has seemed to rejuvenated Sean's life. And I couldn't be happier for him.
It's amazing, how amazing a new jacket, a new sweater, and some new earrings can make a girl feel. None of these things is that radical, and none of them are all that exceptional. But I feel amazing in all of them. I've already worn out all but one pair of earrings. I feel so pretty in all of them. New clothes make me feel a little shinier.
