I've always found leopard print clothing rather vulgar. I'm not too sure what it is about it, but it just spells out T-A-C-K-Y to me. Big time.
I generally take the piss out of leopard print clothing, much to the delight of my best friend, with whom I have an anti-leopard print joke running. It's more so the brown/gold leopard print that I hate, but lately, I've been tempted by some pieces.
And today, I broke the leopard print taboo. I gave in to temptation and brought a cute undergarment. But I didn't give myself wholly over to the leopard print. Oh no. I picked the white and black version. What's the difference, I here you ask, well there's a huge difference.
We all know how timeless black and white are together. There's something classical about the stark contrast. And so I told myself, "It's okay Danielle, you're not completely going to the dark side, just this once you can have this. Just this once. And it's not like it's going to see the light of day. Your secret is safe."
Caution was thrown to the wind, and my new purchase now sits comfortably in a drawer awaiting it's debut.
It's funny how something you've hated for so long, can suddenly grow on you, from out of nowhere you're hit with this thought that for once, it isn't that bad.
I think I'll applaud myself in welcoming a bit of change. *gives a standing ovation to self*
So tell me my fellow wonderful Xangan's, what's something you have hated and then suddenly embraced?
