Dean, Arnaud and I headed in to the market today. I was on a mission to find some fun jewelry – kind of weird, since my idea of jewelry creativity for the past four years was switching out the diamond studs for pearl earrings, but it’s the dawn of a new era in many ways, I suppose.
After a lot of searching, I found a paua shell necklace, and silver/paua earrings from another vendor. The necklace is pretty adventurous for me – the earrings, only vaguely outside my old comfort zone. I think I really like all of them, though.
As I was ironing this afternoon, I showed Jane the necklace and earrings and said I’d decided they would be the color in my wardrobe for now (they tease me about my ‘sensible’ neutrals…I was in minimalst packing mode when I left, and thought they’d be smart. They might be smart, but I’m quite bored of them). I was planning on going to the Warehouse yesterday, but ended up spending a little extra time at Donna’s and decided I should get back to chores, so didn’t pick up any fun clothes then. Anyway, Jane appeared with a yellow t-shirt/hoodie she’d originally picked up for her daughter the other day, and asked me to try it on and wanted me to have it if it fit. It did…and cheesy as this is, it totally brightened my day – I’ve been dancing around the house doing chores in my new bright clothes and fun jewelry.
Since tonight is Dean’s last night, Donna came over for dinner and we all dressed up.
