My wardrobe must be the dream of every five-year-old girl: There are boxes full of fascinators, loads of flowers, pompoms and novelty handbags in fruity shapes. Not to forget a whole cupboard full of Barbie-like jelly high-heels.
Some not fashion-conscious people might think I buy my jewellery and cutie-things for a few quids in cheap stores, but they are completely wrong. What an insult! Learn now and forever: There are worlds between cheap crap and quirky perfection. Kitsch isn't always just kitsch, and there is nothing more exciting than buying the right kind of it. It's worth every penny to buy something that makes the heart beat faster.
Just because I can spend a lot when I'm excited doesn't mean that I'm a lavish girl: I am reluctant to spend money on some things, even if they would make my life easier. For example, I'm still using an iPhone released almost in the stone ages. Couldn't I get a new one instead of craving for another shiny Maude studio bag and an even bigger Pearls & Swine fascinator? Yes, I could, but where is the joy in buying a new phone? I want to buy something I can stare at for hours because I love it so much.
A new phone doesn't fulfill the criteria at all: Everybody has one, and they all look nearly the same. It might be faster than the one I have, but it will not come with abilities like an app to create rainbows on the walls of my rooms or an instant glitter-up-my-life function. A new bag has the power to make me squeak and jump into the air on the other hand. So it's an easy decision how I'd prefer to spend my hard earned money!
I go for things that give me a piece of this -being-in-wonderland-feeling and takes me out of the everyday routine. I think this is what we are all craving for in the end.
How do you like this look lovelies and what do you think about spending money on quirky things?
