I’m in love.
And the shocking thing is, it’s a feeling that I haven’t had in years. I haven’t felt this way since before I met The Doc, back in my younger and carefree days. The time when I was less constrained and concerned with proper appearances. When I felt free enough to let loose and do things without a care for what anyone else thought.
Don’t get me wrong. I was still somewhat conservative and not one to play the field. I always had one steady love in my life and wasn’t the type of girl to casually dole out affection.
But I might need to change that. I find myself drawn to variety and wanting something…different.
And The Doc doesn’t know about any of this. Yet. I have to find a way to break it to him. To let him know that our current, conservative way of life isn’t quite as fulfilling as I was hoping it would be. To let him know that I’m yearning for something else.
Please help me figure out how to deal with this. I need help making a decision.
Which of these fabulously hippy-chic bags should I get?! I really want to get all of them. They are only $20 each. Quite a bargain, if you ask me.
They take me back to my pre-Doc days. He called my style “earthy” and I don’t think he meant it in a good way. Since we’ve been together, my style has morphed into a more tailored, conservative, respectable-wife-of-a-doctor version. I’m still artsy in some ways, and tend to use bold colors and geometric patterns to lend a creative twist to my wardrobe choices.
But I don’t have anything so…so…hippy-esque in my closet anymore. And I want it. I want it BADLY!
I think I might be able to convince The Doc to let me have one. For the carefree days of summer. Everyone needs something carefree for summer, right?
But which one?
I love the orange and blue together. Very striking.
But the earthiness and natural vibrancy of the green one is drawing me in.
Oh, but the third one, the one that’s blue and cream. It has teeny tiny little crystals sprinkled around the top inch or so of the pattern. Dreamy!
What do you think? Should I go for it? I think having a fling with one of these bags might add a little spark to our marriage. Should I take a little walk on the wild side (or at least the earthy-hippy-in-me side)?
