Shopping,anyone?

Relationships are like clothes.

So you're walking down the street,happily humming some song from that independent girl band,going all "I'm perfectly fine on my own..blah blah..i need NO man" when suddenly you see it.
That perfect dress. In that shade of gorgeous purple. And you KNOW it's for you. You KNOW no other chick can do justice to a dress like that! I mean,have you seen the embellishments? That sparkly aura that draws you (and only you) to it?
And before you know it,you've walked past the swinging doors,past the firm resolution that you need your bank a/c to recuperate after your last fated meet with that (oh! so awesome) perfect fit pants and voila! You're in!

And that beautiful piece of intricately cut fabric is a perfect fit!
And that satin against your skin! Sublime!
And everybody in the store tells you,you two look fabulous together. Yes! Perfection itself.
And you get that shiny,happy feeling at the pit of your stomach that this is it! You need nothing else,absolutely nothing else to make you happy.
And yes,the dress is yours.
And suddenly,the world is a better place.

Your first night out together,you turn heads. You know that patent leather boots that skinny chick is wearing is beckoning,but you don't care.
You love your dress!

But a month later,summer's over.
And the dress is no longer enough.
And that sparkly aura,you suddenly realize,has lost it's sparkle.
And it's bursting at the seams.
And it's slowly retracting to the back of your closet.
And you're cold.
And there's autumn-winter collection to look forward to.



And before you know it..that beautiful cashmere coat you've glanced at,is yours for the taking.
And you know it's not right. You know your bills are way over due.
But you can't help it.

For that coat will get you through winter.
And yes,you are no longer cold.
