The Final Reckoning (For A bit, At Least)!
Ah. A crazy week! It’s been an emotional roller coaster. Many great things, many awful things. And I still feel a little nauseous. I hate that I was only able to write about three pieces this week. I really attempted to write every night, but many times I was just unable. The positive side is …
Win Some, Lose Some.
Item: Jacket Color/Fabric: White, wool Designer: Lux Where Purchased: Urban Outfitters Years Owned: Fourish Here is a little jacket that truly isn’t very practical. I suppose that it’s nice in the fall or spring, when it’s not too cold. It’s wool, so it is a little on the warm side. It’s just so darn itty …
I Am Gonna Stand My Ground.
Item: Jacket Color/Fabric: Blackish, pleather Designer: Wet Seal Where Purchased: A gift from my sister Years Owned: ??? Possibly over ten? Well, tonight I have for you an oldie for sure. I can’t remember when I got this jacket, as a very thoughtful gift from my wonderful sister. But I feel like I had this, …
Easy In? Whatever.
Item: Coat Color/Fabric: Moss, nylon/faux fur Designer: Spiewak Where Purchased: Urban Outfitters Years Owned: 7 I hate January. I ‘m willing to give February the benefit of the doubt, but so far, I am skeptical. Winter is just no friend of mine. And it’s been the worst week of the worst month. So I am …
January’s Penultimate Reckoning!
First of all, I want to thank you all for the wise words regarding my post yesterday and my book, Your support means a lot to me, truly. I’m not sure yet, exactly, what that support will means in terms of planning, and my courage, but I am certain that it means a lot. Now …
A Corner, Turned.
Item: Sweatshirt Color/Fabric: Raisin, polyester/rayon/spandex Designer: Mossimo Where Purchased: Target Years Owned: 4 What an eventful Saturday! There was a very fun rehearsal, some relaxing, more sugar than a hummingbird, one Christmas tree successfully dismantled, and Sex and the City. Plus, I nearly burned down the house with a careless microwave setting. No fire, thankfully, …
Little Devil On My Shoulder.
Item: Vest Color/Fabric: Black, cotton/lycra Designer: La Rok Where Purchased: Next Boutique Years Owned: 0.5 Tonight, something of a luxury. A vest. Vests are funny. They are more of an accessory than clothing, I feel, sometimes. One never needs to put on a vest, the way one might need to put on a sweater, or …
At First Sight.
Item: Tee-shirt Color/Fabric: Orange, cotton Where Purchased: American Eagle Years Owned: At least 10 Tonight for your consideration I have an orange tee-shirt. I found this today when I was in the basement, staring at the mountain of empty boxes that house our Christmas decorations. I stared for quite some time. While I stared, I …
Let’s Start At The Very Beginning.
Item: Vest/Tank Dress Combo Color/Fabric: Black, cotton Designer: Express Years Owned: 1.5 First on the agenda tonight is a clarification. I have put my eBay selling on hiatus for a bit, while I puzzle out ways to make it better for me. I don’t want to scrap it altogether just yet, because I like the …
Yet Another Week Of The Reckoning!
I have struggled with the decision to reckon again, since I have only posted two new pieces this week. But in the end I felt like I needed to, since I did make a bit of a vow at the beginning of the year. And since I’ve already broken one vow this week, I figured …
I Am What I Wore
