A new thing.
I think I need to make clothes that
a)fit well, and
b) that I like
more of a priority in my life. I'm finding more and more that a is necessary for b. I wish this could be made more of a priority without the money and shopping parts. Well, the shopping might be sort of okay. At least my boyfriend likes that part a lot and makes it fun. (We kind of have a gender role-reversal that way...) I just get weird about spending money on clothes because I already *have* clothes. I'd rather save it until I have more money so I can go on a trip or buy some gear or something. But I'm not feeling happy with my clothes lately. They're all black and grey, and I'm (gasp) thinking about more color in my life. And I like having jeans that actually fit well (I have about 1.5 pair that I wear all the time now.) And I want more teeshirts that aren't tents. Stuff like that. This is tricky when I still fancy myself a low maintenance, wash 'n' wear kinda girl. Can't it fit well, be cheap, wash easily, not shrink in the dryer *and* look cute? Aren't we living in the future yet? And while I'm at it, where the hell is my rocket car and/or personal jet pack?
Huh?
Hell, even the used Jetta we want is being pokey about getting itself through the necessary bureaucracy. Apparently, I am living in crazyland.
At least the people are interesting here.
La, la, la...

Ooh, and magical finds on clearance racks. Buying stuff slightly out-of-season on sale works well, especially since you don't fall for all the super-trendy stuff and well-fitting basics will last you for at least a couple years. When I find something I really like, especially pants, I tend to buy muliple pairs of the style in the colors I'd wear (at least, when I have extra monies for that). Because if I really like them I'll wear them a lot and then wear them out and be sad in three years when they're all worn out.
