What to wear

March 21, 2006

So with the good comes the annoying. 

The good is that I have lost one of my kids.  No I mean their weight off me, not literally my child is missing.  Less of me is a good thing.  I am a healthier me. 

The annoying is that I now have odd sizes.  There are things I would wear if they fit.  They don’t at least not without whatever JLo had holding that green dress on and a belt.  Some of them I really like.  I guess I will have to do what I have been avoiding doing in my kids closets.  Going through clothes.

Why is going through clothes so annoying?  Maybe it goes back to that day in mid- summer.  It had to be mid summer or at the very least the hottest day of the year.  Then your mom makes you put on the warmest itchiest sweater  you own just to find out if it fits or not.  Then in spring she picks a day that is way mild and sunny making you think it is possible to wear them soon only to find it is too cold to even think about wearing shorts.  There you are trying on the shorts you dream of wearing cuz you are sick of winter only to get them on and freeze.  Then be told you can’t wear them.  Maybe it is th humiliation of trying something on only to find it doesn’t fit. Too big.  Too small.  Too much flab.  Or what was I thinking when I bought this?  

What ever it is I have been avoiding my closet.  So far rather sucessfully I thought.  The problem is when I need to go some where I can’t just grab anything.  I don’t really want to wear my old baggy tees.  I can’t wear some of the larger nicer shirts with out looking odd or risking some exposure.  Sort of a revealing gunny sack thing. 

So I will have get out the cat walk and model my closet.  Weed through and thin out.  Maybe it will inspire me to do the same with my kids’ clothes.

Hey it just might have a good thing attached to it.  The "I have nothing to wear so I have to go shopping" spree.  Hmm could be a good enough thing to pencil in my schedule.  Now if I could just dive into that closet.

Oh and thanks mom for making me try on things as a kid so you’d know what to get me to keep me in clothes.  Even though I complained the whole time. emoticon
