Hi guys! <3
Like I said Wednesday, I did some back to school shopping! I went to Marshalls, Charming Charlie, and I got some tank tops for layering at Justice.(mini rant about my justice expirence after the haul.) I spent about $40 total, and got 7 total things. :D
First I went to Justice because their tank tops are the only kind that is long enough on me with a higher neckline. I got a grey one and a black one. I just needed some to put under crop tops.
Next I went to Charming Charlie to find some jewelry. I got a super cute ring for $6 that I've wanted forever. I had found a 3 pack of rings on clearance, but I wanted the other one more even though it wasn't that good a deal XD.
After that I went to Marshalls to get like, clothes haha. I got a really cute striped skater dress and a jean vest with the hood of a sweatshirt. Also I found a pencil skirt that looks kind of like leather but it's super soft fabric. Next I got a plain white shark-bite tee shirt that I needed for dance team try-outs for school. My school has a really conservative dress code so it's often hard to find stuff that's considered "appropriate", but somehow I found a lot of things I liked!
Here's the little mini rant (you definitely don't have to read this if you find these annoying and selfish but I just want to get it off my chest and I'd like some of you guys' opinions.)
So today I wore some high-waisted shorts that are kind of short, but nothing too revealing. When I stand with my hands down they go down to a bit below my wrist. It was hot out today and I just like how they look.
Anyway, I was in line at Justice, buying my tank tops, and I was called a bad name meaning that I did inappropriate stuff. Indirectly, but I know I was the one this woman was talking about. Because she glared at me because her daughter wanted to buy some shorts that were similar to mine, and she thought they were too short. She said to her daughter that I looked that way. Her daughter looked about 7 so I doubt she knows what that word she called me means but still.
I was literally about to cry.
I mean, it made me think though about how my clothes make me appear. I'm a Christian, and try my best for my actions and language and stuff to reflect that. But that lady was swearing and her little daughter used God's name in vain. I don't really think they know Christ, and I wish that they would see the light of Him in me, not my "over-revealing" clothes.
What do you guys think? Am I overreacting or is she right? I think this is a big learning expirence though that opened my eyes to how people perceive me by my clothes. It just was really shocking.
Well on that note :D yeah sorry if this offended anyone but this is why I'm anonymous. I want to be able to speak my mind. This is kind of like a journal that I share with the Internet.
So I'll talk to you guys on Wednesday!
Bye!
