See Sarah...

I finally received the most amazing bracelets from my stylishly talented good pal Chris.  They are SO beautiful: chunky, black-and-gold, made of shiny resin. They’re from the Marc Jacobs Special Items store in Boston.  The best part: even though they didn’t cost as much as regular Marc Jacobs designer jewelry, I can technically say that I own designer bracelets. Hooray! For as unfashion-savvy as I am and for the limited budget I live on, that’s a pretty big deal.

Needless to say, my boyfriend’s reaction to this wasn’t nearly as ecstatic as mine. It was lukewarm at best.

Me: “Aaaaahhh, they’re soooo beautiful, you should see them!”

Alex: (Blank expression) “Oh. That’s nice.”

I should know better by now.  No straight guy, especially Alex, will ever be able to appreciate these bracelets.  Oh well.
