Every night I am saddled by a grave concern:
what will I wear tomorrow??
this despite having what everyone tells me at home to be a closet bursting to capacity. and i admit, there are a lot of clothes in my closet - some of which i really need to discard already because i haven't used them in years (notice...years. that's right, there are some things there that i haven't worn in that long :P).
yet, i still have trouble figuring out what to wear everyday. it has been like this since college (high school didn't count - i wore a uniform!) and it hasn't changed since. :p
i think the reason for this is that we tend to have favorite pieces of clothing and favorite outfits. we tend to revolve around these favorites and when the time comes when we think we've used them all or have used them much too recently, we immediately come to the conclusion that yup, i really have nothing to wear for tomorrow (or today, whatever the case may be). we can never think past our favorites so we tend to forget that we have some hidden gems stuffed somewhere in a pile in that full closet.
it's such a girl thing, but sometimes i end up sitting in front of my wide open closet some nights to take stock of my clothes and try to plan some outfits that i've never, ever worn. and then i try on clothes, clothes and more clothes - messing up half of my room in the process.
it's fun, it's tiring and there's absolutely no guarantee that i'll actually wear in public some of the stuff I tried out yet that is the only way i can make myself realize that there are clothes in that closet.
but that still doesn't stop me from asking what i'll be wearing the next day.
:D
