so today i bought a scarf
and it's my new favorite thing
warm and soft and the perfect shade of blue

it was more than i normally spend on a single article of clothing
but for once, i could afford it, so why not?
i immediately felt guilty about it

but then found out it was hand made in ecuador
and the proceeds from the sale
go to help women in other countries start their own bussinesses

so, i have a perfect new scarf
and nothing to feel guilty about

:)
