I FAIL at shopping
Which isn't normally a problem, but I have to go to two weddings in a couple of weeks with vague dress codes and I feel a little panicky and rushed with trying to get everything else going on sorted.
It is a little confusing really. With all the drama, and work and nonsense that is going on right now, that this clothes thing is what is bothering me the most...
I've had this gift card for Macy's that I've been unable to use up because I am terrible at shopping. My latest failure is an attempt to get something to wear to these upcoming weddings. Am I remiss in thinking that it should be easier to find a dress that is not festooned with sequins, does not put my cleavage on display, and does not make me look as though I'm 90?
I hate buying clothes, always have. Whatever happened to simple, refined, decent clothes?! I don't want to wear shapeless, see-through, hideous-print, hipster trash nonsense.
All I want are blouses, slacks, and jackets. Uh... without having to buy all my clothes from Brooks Brothers - I don't have that much money to spend on clothes. Which still doesn't solve my evening-wear problem. Eh, I have a few weeks, maybe I'll get phenomenally lucky and find something I like in France... yeah, right *panicky flail*
I've never used a sewing machine in my life, but I toss around the idea of lessons more and more often. At the very least I'd learn for certain whether or not I'd be capable of making my own clothes.
*goes back to packing* Be back at the end of November!
