We all have those pictures from the past that we wished we didn't. The ones that make us think "what were we thinking when we got dressed that morning"?
Trends are fun at the time, but can later come back to haunt us. Think overalls, high-waisted jeans and pegged pants.
This week's assignment is to pick an item from your wardrobe that you love now, but think in five years will fall into that category (or already does).
I’m a casual jeans and t-shirt kind of gal, I don’t have too many of the trendy clothes because I don’t go shopping enough to stay on top of the new fads. However, my sin is in the opposite direction, I love comfy clothes. When I lived in New York I always hoped I would get pulled off the streets by one of those make-over shows. I’m surprised my neighbors there didn’t turn me in.
At least 5 years ago my sister gave me some old workout pants of hers because I said I didn’t have anything to wear to the gym. Those pants have been my favorite clothes ever since. I wear them to the gym, the grocery store, dropping off kids at school, errands, just about anywhere. I need more pride. I can wear them through all nine months of pregnancy they are so stretched out. A few years ago a friend’s husband asked me sincerely if I had any other pants! Little did he know there are two in this set, gray and black. (In my defense we were packing to move that week and I didn’t see the point in packing and cleaning in real clothes.) As part of my being more organized for the year, sadly, I have been getting dressed in real clothes on a regular basis now. I can’t think of any time in the past few months when I have worn them anywhere besides the gym. Plus I have some new workout pants that aren’t missing the waist tie, don’t slip down on the treadmill, aren’t shredded at the feet and probably would not be comfy if I were pregnant. I should be haunted now by my love for these pants, but I can’t wait for it to be time for everyone to give up on their new year’s resolutions so I can be reunited with my old friends.
