gym pet-peeve #3 - the backless hoodie

A couple of my gym instructors are into these. Seems a stupid garment. Surely?

red dresses

I have a thing for red dresses. While I generally don't enjoy clothes shopping, I love red dress shopping. If I pass a shop and there is a red dress in the window, I will go in and try it on pretty much regardless of the cut or cost. Even if I don't buy it (I usually don't) I've had the joy of looking at it, touching it and wearing it - if only for a minute.

Today I went past a clothes shop with a rack of red dresses out the front. After I tried one on I took control of myself and reasoned that I didn't need another red dress in this particular cut. I walked out of the shop with a purple dress feeling like I had done a noble thing.

Do you have an obsession with any colour or article of clothing?


*****
And while we're on colours, the book of Revelation is red and John is purple. Matthew is a sharper colour. Yellow? Bright green?

What's with Colorado pants?

I put on a nicely fitting pair of size 10s. Two hours later they have grown into a baggy pair of size 20s and are down around my knees. AAARRRGGGHHH!

This is beyond a belt.

patterns

Is it just me or are there an awful lot of patterned shirts and dresses out there at the moment?

I've never really been a patterned clothes kind of a person. I'm more plain. Plain black, plain brown and red is my basic repertoire. Lately though, and against my better judgement*, I've joined the crowd and ventured into patterns. I now have three patterned shirts.

Can I say that I think the whole patterned thing is a mistake? I was looking at a room full of people today and those in plain colours looked the best. The patterns gave the room a messy and almost dated feel. I think we may look back on the patterns of summer 2008, shake our heads, and vow not to go there again.


* thanks mum!
