Memory Lane

October 21st, 2007 12:15 pm MDT

Up early this morning, so I decided to take a walk back on memory lane, reviewing my pics in my Yahoo group. I couldn't believe some of the ridiculous pics I've taken. Had me laughing with embarrassment and wondering whatever made me wear "that". And the shoes, omg, the shoes I've since sent to the used clothing stores. At least now all my shoes actually fit! Somehow it seems fitting I saved these terrible pics, and really, wished I had of taken pics since I was 10 years old. What a wonderful, if not scary, album it could have been, watching the transformation of myself through the years. I do still have all those memories still so I guess that's the best I can ask for. I sometimes chuckle to myself when I remember some piece of clothing or footwear I once owned and completely forgot about, having long purged it. One can only imagine the money spent over the years on items long since purged, that didn't fit but couldn't resist buying just because it looked so sexy on the rack only to wear for a moment and purge away.lol  Thankfully the days of purging are past, although my gg might say something different about it as she thinks I have too many clothes and shoes now. lol  Well, I do, but they are staying for good. Sometimes a girl has to put her foot down and stand strong, right?

Well, I decided to get all gussied up today since the sun is shining and the temperature is just right for hose and heels outdoors. What else do I have to do with 2 hours of spare time but riff through the closet trying on different outfits until I find the 'perfect' fit for the day, emerging 3 hours later complete for the day(lol). Somehow it just seems too difficult to explain in words, the inner feeling of completeness and normalicy one gets from being enfemme. You just have to do it and experience it for yourself as that feeling is as individual and unique as a snowflake. How wonderful life is, and a trip down memory lane makes it that much more precious, horrible pics and all. Maybe I'll go shopping today, I do need some white eyeshadow anyway.
