Wednesday: 37% less wardrobe anxiety than Tuesday
I decided that I needed to wear something happy today. My favorite customer upgrades in 20 minutes and they're all a little stressed out, in addition to the rest of my normal customer stress. Whee fun. So, yes, I needed something cheerful today. My decision was made much easier by my darling sister sending me the Best Shirt Ever. It's a Katamari Damacy shirt that says "This is how I roll". Made of win!
I also decided that I really didn't want a repeat of yesterday's Sock Incident. My recent purchase from Sock Dreams included a couple pairs of Very Long Socks. Yesterday, I tried out a pair of Ribbed M Stockings. They were wonderfully warm, comfortable, and actually stayed up all day!
My brain, however, decided that these socks were going to be a problem.
You know how you can get used to the way certain clothes feel? Like you put on a tight shirt but don't really feel it after a few minutes? Yeah, that functionality was totally lacking yesterday.
For the record, I do not often wear painted-on jeans. I have a pair or two (and I'm sure Downwood would like them to be in the rotation much more often), but I'm not a huge fan of lower body strangulation.
My tight jeans tend to be Very Snug from waist, through ass, but they get a little looser at about mid-thigh. These socks, however, were Very Snug from my ankles to about mid-thigh. I was wearing a looser pair of jeans, which led to this internal discussion for the entire day.
Brain: Pants! Falling off!
Me: You're an idiot.
Brain: Nope! No pants!
Me: Those are socks, not pants. That loose swishyness *is* the pants.
Brain: I don't believe you! That's *obviously your shirt. Your pants? They are gone!
Me: I don't believe this...
All day. Over and over. It was alternately frustrating and amusing.
Today's socks? Are normal, everyday, short socks. My brain? Is totally happy with this.
