Okies.

Same.

Yeah.... I often do the same "first clean clothing I lay hands on" thing...
but...
my closet is full of odd stuff.
hand-me-downs, old costumes, random finds from jumble sales that looked interesting...

Today I worked at the clinic so I'm dressed in "office normal" which is a solid-colored t-shirt under a solid-color open... what are they called? They aren't coats or jackets because you'd never think of them as enough to wear outside in cold weather... long mid-thigh long sleeve things. Sweaters are usually pull over and only waist-length, right? Well, whatever these are called- with black leggings and a solid-color skirt. And they're all blues and greens except the leggings so I'm pretty sure it all goes together. Oh, and the socks might not exactly match but they're BOTH BLUE, and they're more or less the same height, so that counts.

But yesterday was an errands day. The most "official" I got was taking my grandmother to her eye appointment.

So I wore bellbottom bright blue yoga pants in some blended cloth which is soft and stretchy, wooden clogs with no socks, a grey-white-and-dark-brown vines-and-flowers patterned double-layer midi skirt out of rayon, a cotton turtleneck undershirt in vertical stripes of blue and green, a purple knitted yarn scarf with lovely pink fringes, my grandfather's old army fatigues jacket which is olive drab (you can hardly see the patches where his name and rank badges were removed), and a black glittery bobble hat with faux fur around the rim.

I think I looked fabulous because every one of those items makes me smile.
My grandmother said I looked like a Hollywood version of a hobo (suspiciously clean but with mismatched and patched clothes) -oh yeah the turtleneck has a couple patches on it. But they're FUN patches. I shaped one of them like a heart and the other like a spade and the next time something rips on it I'm definitely doing a club, even if those curves are going to be an absolute pain. And the patches are black and black supposedly goes with everything, so it hardly counts.

But my grandmother said even if I looked like a hobo queen, she didn't care if I didn't, so she didn't make me change before we went to her appointment.

The people at the eye place didn't comment, so either they're all super professional or it wasn't as bad as my grandmother was saying, I can't really tell which.
But my mom said "Never wear those to the office" about the shoes so at least those I know were odd.

Yes! That's it! Cardigan!

Can I join the fashion impaired club?

I'm usually a (fake) jeans + sweaters kind of girl in the winter. Bought a lot of the same stuff in different colors so I don't have to think too much when choosing clothes when I'm not in the mood.

I struggle more in the summer because the weather is awfully humid and my usual shorts + t-shirts combo doesn't fit some situations and it gets too cold when the AC is blasting too much.

I am putting a bit more efforts lately but it's a bit hard to find clothes that fit perfectly right because I'm built weird (and have quite the big chest)

You mentioned it earlier...
Our replies got buring below the tons of posts we usually make here


Is it really worth the effort?
I mean, should we really comb all this thread hoping to find a year worth of Lost items (now they are lost again xD) to keep tracking in which month they were found?
Is that info actually relevant?

XD YES, A CARDIGAN! XD

oh we all know them fake jeans. and the only time i wear leggings is under my pants, i wear them like longjohns lol. XD

i hate summer because in winter, you can layer. but in summer, there's nothing to do but melt. XD

the lost items shall once again, remain lost foreverrrrrrrrrr. XD

Lost forever indeed! XD



If you want to learn a bit of fashion and style, I strongly suggest you to look up "capsule wardrobe".
Mostly it means that fashionable women with tons of stuff in their wardrobes are trying to do what comes natural to all of us - have just a few pieces that all work with each other, and wear those combinations over and over again.
But with a fashionable name.

It made me felt great about my "style" :D

Reason why I have a black version of everything. I have a cute colorful skirt I want to wear? Pair it with black boots and a black shirt. An ugly Christmas sweater (which I don't own but whatever), pair it with black pants! Perfect. No headache.

I know right? The awful melting in summer that makes you sweat so much you ruin clothes too so it doesn't even make sense to be fashionable.

I was hospitalized during the summer and will forever remember my doc coming in to fill some papers during his day off wearing beach sandals.

black goes with everything. but i hate anything white so i have no white clothes lol. XD

yeaaaaah but in summer, there's so many pretty clothes as well. but then the heat just makes you want to take it all off and just melt and the pretty clothes don't stay pretty for long. xD
LOOOOOOOOL Beach sandals, hahahah!
