Top (Challenge item #4):: Tank top/Target:: Jeans, necklace/Thrifted:: Sandals/DSW
Ugh, this top. There is a reason I have avoided wearing this
shirt. Let me start by saying that I bought it with good intentions. As I have
mentioned before, the mantra of “defined waistline” follows me through out the
day. I’m not sure if it is brought on my an irrational fear of running into
Stacey and Clinton and them putting me directly in the 360 mirror but in case
it is with me like white on rice. So when I find shirts that provide that
defined waist while also being ideal for warm weather months, I get pretty
excited. This top fit that description and was on super sale, so I tried it on,
imagined it's wearability with pants, skirts, shorts and happily bought it confident of (or,
at least envisioning) the many wears it would get in the spring/summer months.
And then wear-reality sets in with its awkward drape and the
strange v-shaped, billowy “sleeve”. And even my go-to solution of “just add a
layer” doesn’t work because when you throw a cardigan over this top, the drapey
sleeve being even more awkward under the sweater. Even tucked in, this top
still makes me feel even more awkward than I already am.
So this top is definitely going in the consignment pile. I
did my duty. I wore the top. And now I can safely say I will never be wearing
it again.
4. Once I’ve worn an item, and it has proven not worthy of
continued possession, I am allowed to trade out that item for recently
purchased item. Seems fair, right? (See,
it works because the new item has also not seen any wear, so it can still be
considered an unworn item. Ha! I’m so sneaky. But really it’s my challenge and
I’ll trade out clothes if I want to..)
