So, I may have mentioned that there was a time in the not-too-distant past that I actually made an effort at looking halfway decent. Most (okay, half? Um, alright, 30%) of me takes major issue with consumerism and spending lots of money on clothes when there are children starving in _____. Because there ARE, I know, and it's kind of moot anyhow because spending two grand on a YSL dress to sport to a ballet performance we can't even really afford to attend is so out of the realm of possibility it's laughable. Hysterically laughable. Laugh until you cry-able. Cry into your closet full of eight-seasons ago cocktail dresses-able. I know, I know. Boo hoo.
But the fact remains that I love nice clothes. My excuse is that I appreciate fine workmanship, as a seamstress and all (hardy har), but it's really a feeble excuse.
Fall is especially heartbreaking for me because I love Fall clothes so much. Summer came and went and my now too-big jeans and fast fashion tanktops were passable for those months but as soon as the drizzle starts I want fairisle and supple leather and other things babies might enjoy dotting with food, already digested or otherwise. It's also a bummer this year because my body is starting to feel like mine again, despite the fact that my chest is still co-owned. My wardrobe is no longer at the mercy of a baby who might need inside my shirt at any second; George is pretty predictable these days, I'm more confident in my ability to nurse discreetly and frankly, I don't care if you see my boob or stretch-marked belly.
So, dear friends, if any of you is secretly really rich, you know... my birthday is coming up. Here's my dream Fall wardrobewhich incidentally goes along with my dream Fall body fuck that shit.
ED: that's right; Converse Allstars and Wayfarers. I'm gettin' back to me. Me at sixteen.
