Accidental Superfox

I came THISCLOSE to buying a pair of shoes today because they matched my car. True story.

Spent the evening shopping with my mom. It was really nice to hang out with her. We've both been so busy lately, it's been a little too long (my fault, I'm sure).

We were looking for something for her to wear at Jessie's wedding, and we found something - though I don't think she's entirely sold on it. We also managed to find a few Christmas presents. And I accidentally found a total superfox dress. We walked into a store, I saw in on a manequin, and I was like, 'I have to have that dress.' The one on the manequin was the only one in my size, so I made the salesperson strip it off and let me try it on. And it was perfect. I love when that happens.

Shopping so spontaneously - and making a purchase decision based purely on emotion - made me think about my dad. I can still remember coming home when I was probably 16 or 17 years old and being totally happy with a pair of jeans I'd found on sale. I really liked them and they fit me perfectly. Of course, his only comments were (1) why on earth do you need ANOTHER pair of jeans, and (2) how on earth could a pair of jeans ever cost more than $20.
