beautiful disaster

So I finally got myself a skirt yesterday, after much whining to anyyone who would listen on Saturday that I don't look good in skirts, but I'm sick of wearing pants, and I can't find the perfect skirt because I look like a hooker in those short silky skirts that are now in fashion. (DON'T LAUGH.)

So after bringing my sartorial woes to Kim and laying them squarely on her Orchard-Road-savvy shoulders, she promptly dragged me into m)phosis and within 5 minutes picked out not one, not two, but four skirts for me to try on. Unfortunately, m)phosis only allows you to try on 3 pieces at one go, so I had to part with one skirt.

Oh, and just in case you thought you were just going to try the skirt on in the dressing room and no one else would have to see how strange you looked with it on, she calls out, "Make sure you come out to show us!" Brilliant.

But the mini fashion parade comes off pretty well; I step out off the changing room and examine my oddly-shaped legs in the mirror in front of me and frown but Tash and Kim somehow think I look really good in that skirt and shoo me back in to try the next two skirts. After walking in and out of the changing room three times the general consensus is that I should take the first skirt, which I decide to. I really hope my mum does not read this entry because this epitomises spur of the moment shopping and she will strip me of all ATM card privileges should she find out.

While waiting for the sales assistant to get my skirt to the counter I examine the shoes on sale and realise that m)phosis actually has nice black kitten heels that will probably last longer than my x:odus ones, and I resolve to go in when they have sales.

Kim, on the other hand, has been looking at the boleros and squealing at how pretty they are. Personally, I don't get what's so cool about wearing a bolero. Kim claims that they have always been pretty and since they're in style now we should sieze the opportunity to wear it. I don't quite get her logic--but then again, I've sworn never to wear a denim skirt in my life, and they're forever in.

My Destiny
Psalm 46 (NASB)
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.

There is river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.

Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
"Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
