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...

I hate my clothes too, I'm in the same boat as I a) hate spending money and b) hate shopping and c) nothing really fits, its all too short or too baggy. My mum sends me most of my clothes, and unfortunately this has gotten a little old as I haven't had the opportunity to update her on my changing tastes. And I want to burn all of my black velour clothing, which I used to like, but now make me look like a deranged cat lady on account of all the clinging cat hair. People comment on it and all the sticky rollers in the world won't help.

My general solution is to wait till I'm travelling. For some reason, shopping in a new place (especially France) is much more palatable than shopping at home. But this isn't really going to work for the immediate future. Sigh.

Yeah, I like shopping when travelling, too. It makes it easier to justify spending money somehow. I think once S4 and I get to Chicago like we've been wanting...
