Of the good: picked up a Classiques Entier ruffle-detail pencil skirt for ~1/4 original price @ Nordstrom Rack, along with some tights and a cute turquoise belt for ten bucks. Continuing to wear stuff I’ve sewn for Self-Stitched September. Got a pair of ponte pants at Gap on clearance for cheap, but they’re two sizes too big and the waistband has to be cut down. Culled out three bags of clothes to go to the thrift store last weekend.
Of the bad: been feeling bloated and *fat*. Also again dealing with a recurring health issue which has the doctors stumped so far, which is always so entertaining. About to run out of stuff I’ve sewn that I can wear, so I’m going to have to repeat to finish out the month or get sewing madly.
Of the neutral: been wanting to dress up more - not sure if it’s mainlining old Mad Men episodes or just feeling itchy for fall to come, tied in with my desire for a real ‘grown-up’ non-telecommuting job. I know it’s grass-is-always-greener syndrome, but I miss structure and having a reason to meet new people (and buy new outfits).
How is everyone else’s fashion/dressing life going at the moment?
