Lessons of lavender

Here we are. It's that time of year where I've been given the luxurious pleasure to do absolutely nothing for a price of zero dollars. There's a problem with that sentence though, I mean, how can one spend zero dollars exactly? Especially now a days when travelling alone costs a lot of them greens. And keep in mind as one currently remains unemployed, it makes matters THAT much harder to survive in the "real world". I'm sure some of you can relate to this trouble. So in the words of little Michael, well big boy Michael actually, you are not alone. Above all, one cannot and I repeat cannot survive in this world without the means to purchase large ticket items solely bought out of principle and principle only. What do I mean you say? If I'm browsing the racks at Holts and come across a $450 dollars Jonathan Saunder's sweater, it is without question that stroking and caressing motions might possibly take place one way or another. The buzz kill or might I say the hoity toity salesgirl will then proceed in a snarky tone and ask if I need any assistance. In other words she might as well be saying 'who are you kidding poor little homeless girl. Step away from the sweater'. Why might such a heinous presumption take place? Is my inability to purchase an expensive item that apparent? As if I'm not a serious purchasing customer? Well, for the record I'm not. But I don't want to put any ideas in her head. So what is my next move? I purchase this piece of work out of principle to teach her a lesson, to never judge a book by its cover. WOW. Did you buy it? Because I sure didn't. Now a situation parallel to this one has taken place only it is blown WAYYYYYY out of proportion. Doesn't make the story any less real. 1) Jonathan Saunder is a pseudo name for J.W Anderson...for topshop. 2) The price is a little less steep, just under 3 digits but for a poor student like myself it sure felt like $450.

The J.W Anderson Lavender skirt

From the subtitle you may have already figured out that lavender is the most prominent feature of my latest purchase. Lavender. A colour you rarely come across on a normal day of the week. The colour that seems to be the #1 choice for all bridesmaids around the world. Now you may be thinking, 'lavender? WHHY?' And I will just reply 'Because, just because.' Secondly it is a skirt. Another key word in the subtitle. The skirt itself is constructed with scuba diving material and has a ruffle tip. I believe my description is starting to sound a bit dreadful so I will just let you take a look for yourself. It's fantastical.
