Yesterday, I received this from The Net Set:

Oh my, I just made it seem like I was hand-picked to be part of the “in” crowd. I wasn’t. I had to beg to be let in, well the 2015 version of begging: when you have to download an app, leave your email address and then wait and see if you”ll be accepted by whatever select club you want into. I highly doubt that Poppy Delevingne or Julia Restoin Roitfeld pleaded to be let in, only to be made to wait while a committee pondered on whether or not their admittance would be granted. Everyone knows that if you have to beg, you don’t belong. Which probably explains why I  had to wait. In fact, I had to wait so long that I had actually forgotten that I had asked to be considered for entry into this social network. So upon reading the email, I asked myself: “Why? Why do you even want to be a part of this?”. Instagram and Pinterest should be enough: I get to see what the beautiful people are doing and wearing. I get to daydream and imagine what my Fall wardrobe will look like. So really, why do I need to see what people are “browsing (and buying) from Net-a-Porter’s current stock”? Especially since we all know that I can’t compete on that level…

But have no fear, I got over the self-doubt really quickly and activated the code: I might not be on the market for a new Fendi Peekaboo tote, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t be – ahem – happy when someone else buys one.
