MeMadeMay 2019 day 29

“MeMadeMay (2019) day 29. This is literally the third time I’ve tried to post this, and I don’t even like my outfit. Today can die in a fire.”

Look, sometimes things just don’t work out. This outfit is one of them. It’s a mess. The proportions are a mess. I have no idea what I was actually thinking when I put this on my body and then left the house in it. …That’s not true, I do know what I was thinking. I was thinking that it was very nearly the end of May, I was out of options, I’d worn every make in my closet 8 times already, and I was desperate to try anything different.

The Ugly Snowflake Tank is still Simplicity 8246. I *loved* that weird little collar/choker thing. I think it fell apart, I wore it so much. I *still* have those jeans. Look, I know it seems like I never get rid of anything, because I say in literally every post “oh, I still own that.” but I actually got rid of something like 9 garbage bags of clothes during COVID, and I also sold a ton of stuff when I still worked at Ampersand. I still own those jeans, but they are currently relegated to my small pile of “hoarder house set up” clothes, which is what I wear to work on houses where I already know I don’t want anything accidentally touching my skin. The only drawback is that they don’t have pockets, so I get to wander around all day wearing a fanny pack (*cough* bum bag) to carry my phone and gloves. Also, after 10 or so years, the really cute ring-pull exposed zip (which you can’t actually see here) gave up the ghost, so I’m constantly secretly in danger of a really hilarious and especially unfortunately-timed wardrobe malfunction.

So… that’s a thing you now know about me.
