Skirtng The Issue

Yesterday I had a problem. I wanted to go shopping with my parents and the weather was warm and sunny! I thought that since my Mum seems to be getting round to the idea of me in a skirt and of being seen with me in a skirt, I would wear a bloody skirt to go shopping in! Trouble was finding the right top to go with it! I know I had one somewhere. I had the wardrobes out, the drawers were emptied and even the old storage boxes where I knew clothes had been left since the move. But could I find this one simple black top to go with the skirt I had chosen! Like heck I could! I got into a strop and just gave my parents a shopping list! Now most of you are saying, just wear another top or wear a different skirt or the tried and trusted jeans & a t-shirt combo!
To you I say this. I have no other tops that I would feel comfortable pairing with any other of my skirts! That's right! I'm very concious of co-ordination!! As for the jeans, well I'm sick to the back teeth of compromising every damm time! And most of my t-shirts are my old mens ones. Which are comfy but have no shape to them! And have the opposite effect on what I'm trying to achieve. Now I have a few t-shirts that I bought back in the day but I have grown to dislike them! I am quite long in the body you see and these t-shirts tend to show a lot of the rid midriff! A good look on some girls but me, well I just feel self concious about it!

So I have decided on a game plan and I've already started. This game plan should see conclusion by the end of August and should see at least 95% of my old male wardrobe in storage. By the end of the year these should be either sold or redistributed! The other 5% are useful clothes that are handy to have around.

Yesterday I made a start by vac bagging the jumpers and the shirts. I don't need the jumpers right now any way because the summer is here. (Despite the rain) Trousers will go next! And once I have something to replace them with, the plain t-shirts will be last! Working clothes, comfy lounging clothes and favourite t-shirts get an automatic reprieve! As does underwear and socks!!

Also on the list to go are clothes that I bought when I was still nervously and randomly buying things without trying them on first or have bought online only to discover they don't fit!

Look Dr Barrett, I do wear skirts!!

One of the upshots of all the drama yesterday was that my Mum came back from the shopping trip not only with my shopping but three tops. All of which look good and could work well with various outfits!!

Oh and one other thing. I took some photos today of my skirts. These are the ones I own! All of them!

Oh well, I suppose I better go put them back on the hangers then!


PS. Expect a repeat with my tops and dresses sometime in the future when I've fixed the lighting problem.
