Yaz's Blog

I am a (php+ruby+js+css+) developer. I am a geek. I am a fiction reader. A movie and tv addict.
An XBOX360 player. A snowboarder. A cyclist. A Softball player. A Venezuelan-Canadian.

I just spent $$$ in new clothes. That would normally be a good thing for any normal 24 year old who is recently single, right?

Well, sort of.

There’s this thing about my personality…. I rather spend the money on comfort/entertainment than beauty. Which means, I should buy some furniture for my new apartment, or new comfortable shoes, or the new Call of Duty 4 game for XBOX360. Instead I spend the money on fancy “smart-casual” clothes, which is so unusual.

If I were a Spice Girl, I would be Sporty Spice. I only wear heels if I’m wearing a dress, I own a total of 2 skirts and 10 pairs of shoes (5 of which are running shoes), I wear make up only when they put it on me, and I cut my hair once every… 6 months. Yes, I’m not very girly. Although I’m vain enough to come to my own defense and say I do clean up nice —enough to do modeling photography; but I just choose to live the sporty style.

I digress. The point of this. I’m nervous about spending that money, but because I feel I have to really justify it. Which is almost absurd because I am a 24 year old girl woman with a job and travel trips and that require the smart-cuasual look.

But because I rarely do this kind of stuff, I always end up looking like I’m 14. So this is a good thing. But I have to repeat it over and over in my head.
