For as long as I can remember, I have come up with a scenario for pieces of clothing or outfits I put together as I shop (I think I got it from my mom....yes. I did.)
For example, I would see a dark wash denim cuffed capri and say "ohhhh! that would be perfect next time I go to the beach and it is overcast!" (keep in mind I'm land-locked so beach outings are infrequent). Or you can often catch me saying "this cotton-spandex blend dress was just made for my next plane trip/fat day!" and one of my favorites, which my friends and family are probably really tired of hearing "these scarves and bikinis and white cable-knit sweaters and topsiders will be perfect for my yacht!" (I have no yacht, but I will;)
It's basically a process I go through each time I go shopping that warrants me getting whatever I fall in retail-love with, however far-fetched my scenario is:)
I definitely wouldn't mind being caught in a Spring drizzle in this ensemble!
haha! you're crazy! The beauty of being a boy is that my mind isn't that warped (it's STILL warped - just not THAT way :)) Anyway. take me for example. I have a closet full of black, gray, and dark blue. everything pretty much goes with everything else so i can throw anything on! On cold (and by cold i mean - "this shirt alone shows my love handles!") days I just keep layering until I'm content! When I get too hot (read: oh my god! am i getting pit stains?) I simply shed some layers! For those days where it too hot AND too cold (okay . . . fat AND sweaty) I just complain about how colorado weather is awful. actually . . . I tend to have a lot of those days. dang.
ReplyDeleteHello from a fellow SITSta and Coloradoan!

I love me some fashion too. I have seen polyvore around but know once I try it out, I'll be addicted! Blogging already takes up too much of my time. LOL

That's so funny - I should really try your method next time I'm out shopping for clothes: If I can't picture an appropriate scenario, I shouldn't buy it!
