Tonight — in honor of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show — I’m devouring the last piece of my birthday ice cream cake, staying home where neither of the TVs work, listening to Lissie, and thinking about how great it is to indulge in potatoes and nachos whenever I please.
Tonight I went to downtown Savannah for Fashion’s Night Out, my city’s petite version of a national event where shoppers indulge in special FNO discounts and promotions. The event should have been bank account-busting fun, but I walked away with only one purchase: a new set of bracelets. I simply cannot enjoy shopping solo in Savannah. I’m picky and the kind of person who needs multiple forces to align before I’ll make a purchase. In various combinations, these can include:
- A sale
- A mom or a sister
- A shoe sale
- A mom or a sister yelling at me to stop being so picky and just buy the darn thing

Last weekend I forgot my sunglasses at a friend’s place. It was no big loss considering they were missing both nosepads, had chips out of the lenses, and probably came off the $9 Target-special rack. The problem is, though, that I wear contacts and need something for sunglasses or I turn into a squinty, headache-prone, watery-eyed freak.
Well, when I was closing the Campus Center the other day at work I found a pair of glasses. I decided that they would do until I went out and bought a new pair. The problem is that they are hipster sunglasses. In fact, I saw two guys each wearing a pair in addition to flannel shirts, torn jeans, and worn out Converses this morning. I don’t think I can actually bring myself to wear the glasses without feeling like a complete poser…and a terrible one at that.
