Spring in the box
I rarely buy jewellery for
my(oh-so-prudent)self, as I am the kind of person who rolls out of
bed desperate to get dressed & get over it (especially in the
Irish climate, which is an ordeal of sorts in its own right). I
actually sometimes roll out of bed fully-dressed, having decided
there's so little left of the night I may actually take a shower and
get dressed before going
to bed. But I think, even for my standards, it would be quite
extravagant to accessorize in these circumstances. Silver chains work
fantastic when it comes to showering and sleeping in them, but
there's a small crack of the issue: they can get really hot when
you're drying your hair. So rather than going to work with a circular
burn around my neck, and having everyone cast these questioning looks
(did she try to strangle herself? Likes SM?) I store them safely in a
box (the box was originally designed to contain washing powder, and
it was really the only thing it could do justice to, so I opted out
of showing its full-on unsightliness here). After letting it collect
dust for a while, I was amused to find what I found there:
butterflies, flowers, birds, heart of the ocean...I know, I know, but
heeey, didn't I include a disclaimer in the opening line? Abstracting
from the fancy collection, there's a practical lesson number one you
can take away from here: if you decide to go crazy this spring and
someone questions the tastefullness
of
your butterfly-adorned attire, remind him that 'entomology is a
rapidly growing field'. You can't argue that.
