An open letter, as I attempt to replace my pre-pregnancy wardrobe
Dear fashion designers of the world,
I would totally have bought that, had you not added the "kicky" and "fun" embroidery, or the "romantic" lace trim, or the "modern" asymmetry, or the "casual" contrasting stitching. Or maybe if you had made it in some color that did not remind me of fruity girly umbrella drinks. Or in some fabric that was machine-washable and yet not nastily poly-acrylic. What happened toboring classic clothing in quality fabrics and standard colors and cuts? What happened to the unembellished wardrobe?
All I wanted was a few good t-shirts and a sweater or two. God damn.
No love,
Me

I am with you. Standing in front of the closet this afternoon, preparing to dress work-appropriately (meeting with one of my job's commission members at his law firm) I decided I hate all my pants. Some are too big, some are unflattering, some suck in other ways... but how to get decent replacements that are simple and flattering and not super expensive? Grrr.
Why must clothing wear out? Why? And why must I change size and shape? I rail against change.
As a fan of the under-embellished, I must point out that you forgot the Swarovski crystals and it's cheap cousin, the rhinestone. Just a bit too much bling happening on clothing these days :)
