Holey-moley!
I have 2 hoodies, 3 dresses, 5 tops, 1 cardigan/ vests, 5 jackets, 1 pairs of shorts and 1 pair of shoes left to wear and 5 days left to wear them in . Looking through my sad collection of tops - 3 of the 5 consist of tee shirts and one of those has paint on it!
When am I next going to wear a tee-shirt with paint on it? That's right, the next time I paint!
But that aint gonna happen this side of Christmas.
To be frank with you, I didn't know it had paint on it when I counted it. Oh! How I rue (that's right rue) my insufficient wardrobe organisational system!!
So if it's okay with you I am swapping it out for a item I missed - and that is the skirt I am wearing today! I sewed it but wasn't happy with it so it has sat forever on my "to fix" pile. And yesterday I did just that, "fixed it" by chopping it shorter and sewing a thin blue line down the centre front seam and along the hemline. I co-ordinated today with my sky blue pendant and matching earrings.
It is now the shortest 'on purpose' skirt I own by quite some inches!
When I say 'on purpose' it is only that I am thinking of the many altercations with scissors I've had when chopping skirts shorter. In particular I thinking about me as a teeneager.
We were all about buying petticoat slips/ grandma style skirts from the op-shop and wearing them, sometimes over jeans, sometimes with Doc Marten style boots. Very Courtney Love. I do remember on numerous occasions that after a Saturday morning of hardcore op-shop shopping we would head back home to style the petticoats up. What this actually meant was chopping them off at a length we thought would be right only to discover when we put them on that they barely covered anything! More belts, than skirts!
If only girls today had the same discretion!
