My Best Friend Told Me I Can Tell You About How Her Secret Love of Old Juicy Couture (But I Would Have Told You Anyway)
My best friend ever always the voice of reason in my active, overthinking brain!
She texted me this morning and said, “IZZY!” I always love when the text starts with my name in caps. It means something really mundane happened but it’s really MAJOR in our weird and wonderful world and relationship. I won’t disclose with she told me but yeah, it was really mundane but major for us haha…..
Girl, if you’re reading this, I love everything about our special brand of weird and I love you for always making me feel better when I start overthinking sh1t. This is the same girl that told me we may both be cheugy and readily admits our membership in the basic bitch club. She always speaks to my soul.
After we discussed a few things I mentioned to her that I may have overstepped some line in a post I wrote mentioning someone and she quickly told me, “Listen you can tell everyone I have a deep love of 1990 Juicy Couture Barrel Purses and I still love the Body Shop’s Pink Grapefruit scent!” Honestly, don’t tell her, but I probably would have told you anyway but wouldn’t have mentioned who said it to me because come on…Juicy Couture vintage purse love is something to make fun of am I right?
And green tea promptly exited my nose as I snorted in joy because gosh, I miss a good Juicy Couture Barrel purse moment….! Even though we may or may not have laughed a little when she texted me a picture this weekend of a long line she was standing in and the girl in front of her had one and of course, I promptly texted back, “THAT BAG!”. Hey, it was a damn good decade and like fine wine those Juicy Couture purchases are a gift that keeps giving.
This begs to question, can we get away with strolling out of the house with Juicy plastered across our ass and a vintage barrel purse slung over our shoulder? I mean, it happens often enough right? What’s old is always new again at some point! I’m personally waiting for the return of pop beads, a KISS revival where everyone who likes them is deemed a devil worshiper, and maybe bangs…like, I really, sort of want a big puffy bang moment in my life again. I remember in Freshman year I was trying so hard to grow my hair out because I simply hated my bangs but now I want them back. Full disclosure I did have some weird mullet moment when I was in grade school. Business in the front, party in the back!
Moral of the story, I will rag on you and make fun of you for all your old, vintage likes but of course, I have all the same ones that you are given full permission to rag on me about.
So have at it. Tell me all about your love of Caboodles, binging Jem reruns, and wearing EXCLAMATION (I know you still secretly have a bottle hanging out somewhere. Hell, I still wear Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden! Shhh our secret).
