Sequined Birds, Good Luck

I was at Nordstrom NorthPark yesterday getting a massage (I was the very lucky recipient of Nordstrom’s spa gift card for Christmas.). For those of you that know me well, which I believe most of you do, I could not resist the urge to shop after my massage was over and I was released into the store. I have been so good. I haven’t bought any clothes since the beginning of November. However, before I could make it down to the shoe department (I didn’t buy any shoes!!!!!! Can you believe it????) I was held captive on the second floor. The lights were bright and the clothes were sparkling (lots of sequins), I just could not leave without looking, which leads me to my story. I purchased this really cute white cotton ¾ length sleeved, v-neck T-shirt with beautiful beaded and sequined birds, flowers, and a horse shoe in hues of pinks, blues, purples, and greens and the words “Good Luck” on it. Everyone knows that I could use as much good luck as possible right now, so I had to buy the shirt (No comments please, I am trying to lift my spirits. Leave me alone ;-)). I am not sure if all of you know this, but I don’t try on my clothes before I buy them (this works our very well about 99.5% of the time). Anyway, I decided that I would wear the shirt today. I bought it in a medium because it looked a little small and when I put it fit nicely. Except that it makes me look, how shall I put this, like a “very nice girl”. The kind of girl that gives very freely of herself. The v-neck is more of a plunging neckline and it’s hard to read the words “Good Luck”. I am afraid of the jokes that could be made by people who actually are able to read the words on the shirt. Alas, I will have to see if I can wear the shirt with a tank top underneath otherwise I will walk around feeling self conscious with people whispering comments under their breath like, “Yeah, Good Luck keeping those in your shirt” and “look…how cute… those birds are flying right into the valley of cleavage.”.
