childhood is short, maturity is forever

When you're a kid, you just can't wait to grow up. The staying up late, the doing whatever you want, the not eating poached eggs for breakfast (to this day I still can't stand eggs.) It all looks like so much fun, except that being a grown up is no Jennifer Garner movie. I can't help but cherish my school days, the long ass holidays, the not going to school if I didn't feel like it, the getting an allowance without having to really work for it... *sigh* But just because your ID says you're not in your something-teen years anymore, it doesn't mean you can't ever feel like a kid again...sort of. Ice cream cones on hot days, playing video games, going to the movies and watching a Pixar anything, will do the trick on any given day. But there's also the WTF-I'm-too-old-for-this-shit things. Like Katie Perry video drinking on a Friday night.

The same goes for the way I dress. I know there are things I just can't pull off anymore (if I want my dignity to stay intact). Mini skirts, t-shirts with "witty" messages on them, scrunchies yuck. I stumbled upon this clutch by Christopher Kane and didn't know what to make of it. It sure looks childish with the bright colors and the gel filling, like the love-child of a lava lamp and a Barbie accesory. I'm sure my little cousins would love it, but for $750?! Nostalgia sure as hell doesn't come cheap.
