Would you believe that I've been sitting on these pics for months?  Of course you would.  Because I'm wearing long sleeves in all of them, and these days, that'd make me sweat.  But that's okay; I'd rather have a backlog of pics instead of not enough.  Just like bags.  And shoes.  And jewelry.  

Because to collect is to curate, and to curate is to love.

Or some such other sentiment that should be scrawled across a blank book or pillow.

The point is, collecting makes me happy.  It's an art unto itself, not to mention something to look forward to.  I hope to share it with Charlotte someday, the two of us treasure hunting just like my mom and I do.

Even if it turns out that she's on the prowl for Pyrex instead of purses.

Flip flops: Katy Perry Collections; Mules: Mix No. 6, DSW

You know how these days every day is its own mini holiday?  Like National Ice Cream Day or Free National Parks Day or Hug a Sloth Day?  (I made that last one up.  Although there is an International Sloth Day; its motto is "slow down to celebrate.")  Well, today is Treat Yourself Day.  And I only know that because my sister, who goes over these celebrations with her three-year-old daily, told me.  She also texted me that it's (Amazon) Prime Day.  To which I replied, "I know, how apropos!"  And we both LOL'd because, Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari) and Donna Meagle (Retta), hashtag Treat Yo' Self, Parks and Recreation.   

Gift from my sister last Christmas.

Another thing that's apropos today is that my $3.50 flip flops arrived from, not Amazon, but Katy Perry Collections.  They were so cheap because I used my loyalty points from my previous plunders to buy them.  I was doubly excited because just last week I got a free pair of Mix No. 6 mules from DSW, an acquisition made possible by stacked rewards certificates.  And so I thought, what better time than Treat Yourself Day to post them?!  So here they are, my comfy fab finds, a treat for the eyes and arches.    

If only I could say the same about Jerry (Jim O'Heir) -- er, Larry -- on Parks and Recreation.
