Have you ever been making a recipe, let’s
say something like Beef Stroganoff, and you were so damn hungry that you found
yourself licking the excess sour cream directly off the mixing spoon? Of course, I mean after you’re done using the
actual spoon to cook everyone else’s food…I mean, of course. Now let’s take this scenario a bit farther
and imagine you just happen to be munching on some pre-mealtime nacho cheese Doritos
at the same time when an idea hits you like a thunderbolt and you decide to
dive into that sour cream a little more heftily with the aid of a chip. Around the time you start to inhale your
eighth scoop, you decide that this could be a mistake and maybe you ought to
put away the bag before the Stroganoff become unnecessary. However you find yourself having another bite,
and another, and another, until the Doritos disappear and you resort to just
dipping your finger directly into the tub of sour cream because why the heck
should your long term, roommate, boyfriend care about germs? I mean you guys have swapped spit at least a
few times these past years…right?
At this point you’re probably wondering why
I’m talking about being unhygienic in the kitchen. I guess my answer is, because it can be so
much fun! I mean every time I engage in this
type of behavior I understand I’m doing something, “bad,” by spoiling my dinner
with terrible junk food. Not only that
but I’m eating in an absolutely unseemly manner that would probably disgust my
poor, “special man friend,” who shares food with me. Basically, I’m sharing a perfect example of
how an otherwise highly controlled individual like myself can completely lose
control while enjoying something, and let me tell you it’s not very pretty.
However, who say’s life always has to be
pretty? Sometimes the most enjoyable
things are unsightly, unhealthy, and may leave orange stains on your fingers. Of course, one could argue that the opposite is also true. Periodically, the
best things in life are some of the most beautiful. Interestingly enough, it’s been this style blogger’s
experience that these items can also come with their fair share of guilt, considering
they’re often rather expensive. In other
words, there is nothing pretty about being broke.
Which brings
me to the true topic of my blog post where I finally reveal another one of my
secret guilty pleasures. It’s interesting
that I find it harder to confess my addiction to Theodora & Callum scarves
than I do my love of mowing down sour cream straight out of the container. Did I mention I’m usually sitting on the kitchen
counter while doing this? I guess it’s
the retail cashier in me that realizes I really don’t have the kind of income needed
to justify purchasing these types of luxury scarves. At the same time, my inner wannabe fashion
mogul tells me I need it, I deserve it, and my friend Visa can hook me up
pronto. Have you ever had a friend like that? One who plays with dangerous limits and always
pays for the cartons you’re about to binge eat out of?
Despite, the rather high price point of
Theodora & Callum scarves, it’s the opinion of this blogger that every
accessory loving lady deserves to have one…or two…or three depending on how
generous your pal Visa may be. All I can
say is Theodora & Callum provide some of the most beautiful and quality scarves
available. Not only are their prints always
stunning, but the quality of these oversized, versatile pieces cannot be beat. Simply put, they’re most definitely the dollop
of sour cream on the taco salad.
So, this winter if you find yourself in dire
need of a guilty pleasure consider treating yourself to a Theodora & Callum
scarf. It may be noteworthy to mention
they’re large enough to double as a sarong over swimwear. Of course, this is just in case one finds themselves
frequently indulging in those other little hang-ups in the kitchen.
