retail therapy is real! and it works!
some would describe 'retail therapy' as a prime example of the materialistic nature of society.

my peers at shenandoah don't seem to understand the idea of 'retail therapy' (with the exception of vassiliki, my fantastic roommate and a select few others) and are constantly judging my passion for all things VOGUE, ELLE, NYLON etc.

i don't judge computer geeks for spending their money on video games;
i don't judge car buffs for owning more than one or two cars;
i don't judge makeup artists for buying out sephora;
i don't judge pastry chefs for going gaga at dean and deluca;

so why judge a costume design student for spending [x] amount of dollars on a pear miu miu brooch that makes his life brighter?

despite what the 'demode ones' (thank you fake karl!) might think as outsiders looking in, fashion brings joy to millions; and i'm one of the many that make up those joyous numbers :-)
