I’m not an astrologer. I have no credit as spiritual advisor. But, I know how to spend frivolously and inspire others to do the same. That’s why I’ve decided to introduce monthly “Pooroscopes” on Pretty and Poor to help you in your soul searching (at the mall). Whether you’re lost and looking for something to buy, or need help and guidance on the path to retail love, look no further than your monthly Pooroscope for the answers to all your precious little problems.
Your December 2009 Pooroscope
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): It’s the most wonderful time of the year--for you, at least! You’ve got a Birthday on the books and you’re either feeling another year older, or another present luckier. No matter your reason, make December a month to splurge on something that makes you happy. A great new Gucci bag? Do it. A Max Mara trench coat? Go for it. As a matter of fact, go big or go home. This month is all about the lavish things in your life.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Glitter, sparkle and shine are calling your name in December. Think about making a splash at a holiday gathering in a heavily sequined blouse. Try rhinestones or elaborate beading for a festive touch that says, “I am a fashionista…see me SHINE!” Go buy yourself something sparkly or dig through your closet for that sequined mini you never thought you’d wear again.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): Buy something red! Something that says, va-va-voom! Give yourself a bright burst of color that’s festive, bright and very much in style. Whether it’s a red wool coat or a red shift dress, do the season up right with a ramped-up red hue!
Pisces (February 19-March 20): Got the blues? There’s never been a better time to invest in a new pair of sensible, premium denim. Joe’s, True Religion, J Brand, Rich and Skinny—no matter your brand, go out and find the fit that’s best for you. Then, take the plunge. If your jean collection is already huge then invest in a trendier pair. If you need to bulk up your denim arsenal, get a classic pair that you can wear with anything!
Aries (March 21-April 19): Hey! When’s the last time you bought new underwear? Sometimes those little unmentionables are some of life’s best little indulgences. Treat yourself to something lacy, silky and perhaps even sultry. Your love life might even thank you (wink wink).
Taurus (April 20-May 20): I see your social scene getting a little more exciting because you’ve got the right gadgets to support a socialite kind of life. If you’ve not invested in a fun iPhone or cool laptop, now might be the perfect time to invest.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Shoes are in your cards this month! If you haven’t found a great pair of boots for the season, now’s the time to treat yourself. You’re gonna’ be doing a lot of walking (through the mall) ad you’ll need a great pair of shoes for the journey. Over-the-knee or booties style will help you look particularly trendy! Now walk on!
Cancer (June 21-July 22): You’re already sick of winter, aren’t you? It’s time for a vacation. Whether you take a weekend trip to visit friends, journey home for the holidays or plan an all-inclusive Mexican getaway, spend on a trip! You’ll feel refreshed and surprisingly worldly!
Leo (July 23-August 22): December is a good month to snuggle up by the fire in new pajamas (in a fun pattern, like zebra print, of course). Treat yourself to a new pair of pajamas and spend December lounging like you mean it.
Virgo (August 23-September 22): Your December will be marked by studs. Maybe you’ll meet a stud out on the town…or maybe you’ll buy yourself a new accessory with studded details. Studs are in right now. Give yourself a stylish punk edge this December with a new studded accessory!
Libra (September 23-Ocotber 22): Make your toasts matter this December with a blingin’ cocktail ring. Whether it’s an heirloom piece or something with modern day charm, pick up cocktail ring that will demand everyone’s attention. You’ll make a loud and clear statement with a simple lift of your drink.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21): It’s a great time for sweets! But skip the candy canes this December and go straight for the Godiva. Give yourself the gift of good chocolate. You’ll feel like a total goddess!
