Fire the Attire!

Have you ever had a Bad Clothes Day?

It's a day where your clothes just don't fit right. I had one of these yesterday. It's like my tank top wouldn't stay down and kept riding up. And my skirt thought this was a great idea, too, so it started coming up. And at one point I thought I was flashing the whole campus, but I actually wasn't, but it just felt that way, so I kept yanking it down and looked like an insecure 7th grader.

Skirts also can be terribad because they twist. Before you know it, the side zipper is at your crotch, and there's a pocket where your buttcrack is supposed to be.
I do not understand how this happens. It's not like I'm doing gymnastics or hula-hooping.
I'm just walking.

And my shoes didn't want to work for me anymore either. I know you guys think I have enough shoes, but I disagree. I have tons of cute shoes which would be great for working at a CPA firm in Savannah. Walk from car to office, around office, from office to car- and that's it. But when I go to school, it's like: parking lot, stairs, room, stairs, other room, campus, parking lot, room, stairs, room, parking lot.
Which is a LOT of walking and leads to blisters, callouses and, worst of all, sweat.

So my cute shoes are not eligible for this kind of stuff. Especially since Statesboro is on a fault line, so all the sidewalks are angled one way or another. And I'm just weebly wobbling on my way to class trying not to fall over and get hit by cars.

(Statesboro's not really on a fault line, but I actually believed that it was at one point. See previous entry.)

So then you're like, "Well, why don't you just wear something comfortable?"
Um, because if I wore sneakers with a skirt, then I would look like I was 80. Or Amish. (or both)
And that's just not going to happen.

The same thing happens with bras. One day, they are perfectly comfortable over-the-shoulder-boulder-holders. But then other days, it's like wearing a barbed-wire egg carton.
But the bra didn't change! It's just a bad clothes day!

For the record- these things have happened with store bought clothes and not Allie J originals. I just wanted to make a plug for myself here and say that I make stuff that fits and is comfortable 100% of the time.
(except for the Itinerary Dress. I'm convinced that dress has an agenda.)

It's not like these garments are brand new clothes that are stuffy and uncomfortable. These are things that I've worn many times before, but now they all of the sudden decide they want to be all impossible. Instead of you wearing clothes, they end up wearing you.

So a Bad Clothes Day = A day where no matter what you wear, it feels uncomfortable and all you want to do is go home and change into a mumu.

It's gonna be a thing,

  1. I can relate. Bad clothes days suck.... mostly when I realize my shirt is slightly smaller than the last time I wore it due to the dryer and it keeps riding up.

    You would do better to wear efficient shoes like me. Sure, I'm not as fashionable as you, but if there's ever a natural disaster or zombie apocalypse while I'm at work, I'm covered.
