New lipstick, shoes, clothes - new identity?

The other day I had a blue day. My way to deal with it? I bought a new lipstick.

This time I was just drawn to the direction of very RED lipstick. I bought it and I, naturally, tried it as soon as I got home. And you know, once I stopped crying.

But that lipstick! It looked so vibrant on my lips! Just brilliant. I couldn't help it, I just grinned. I looked great! And my lips and my hair were, for the first time, the same shade of red. It was fantastic...

I was thinking; perhaps, each time when we try on new shoes, clothers, jewellery and make up, we try on a new identity as well. Some new things seem great at the store, and on the first day, but soon they end up staying in the closet, as they don't perfectly fit. And some, especially those you wonder for a while before buying, can feel just right the moment you finally bring them home. I have shoes like that. I have jewellery like that. I have shirt, jeans, skirts and scarfts like that. And now, also, lipstick like that.

Naturally, if the things we buy are our identity, we're about to have an identity crisis each time our favourite lipstick goes out of market...
