I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

it has come to my attention that I am unhip, at least in terms of fashion, and I'm wondering when my wardrobe lost its funky.

A) Says who?

B) You're so damn funky yourself, you infuse everything around you with the air of "damn, that's cool." It's why I hang onto you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just ran into the two most junior members of my department out for a smoke break, and tried to give them a little bit of a pep talk. At least one of them has the worst job fit possible right now, but it's mostly because it's her first job out of college. I'm actually really impressed at how un-bitter they both are, all things considered.

And then I looked at the consulting rate my predecessor is getting, and feel like quitting ANY FUCKING DAY NOW, because I am getting increasingly bitter. Bleh.

A) Says who?

Sadly, me. I found out that I could have gone to a concert for free last night, and realized that I didn't have anything to wear except jeans and a Batman T-shirt.

Aww. Thanks.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

and realized that I didn't have anything to wear except jeans and a Batman T-shirt.

Huh. That's, like, 95% of my wardrobe.

Anyone surprised?

I am not knocking the Batman. But a little more variety in my Not-At-Work clothes might be good.

How about a purple velour jumpsuit? I could see you in that.

The status is NOT quo.

I swear if I had a million dollars right now I'd throw out 90% of my wardrobe and go on the most fantastic shopping spree evah. I'd even do Rodeo. Like Pretty Woman only without the whole hooker angle (though I'd still likely manage to get kicked out of the stores for not looking like The Right Kind of customer).

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'll have a very skimpy wardrobe once what's in my closet right now get too baggy on me. But, when my sister had her gastric bypass surgery last October, she passed on all of her size 20-22 clothes to our mom. By the time I head out to Mom's for Thanksgiving, I'm hoping I'll be close to a 22 (or within a month or so of wearing that size), so I'll be shopping at Le Boutique de Mama's Closet!

You're going to make me emo. You won't like me when I'm emo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Rock! I love LA.

Shrift, you have the cool. You infuse with the cool.

As for me, the Batman T-shirt is not only one of the few things that fit me, it's the top contender for me to wear out to lunch.

Tomorrow I have to transition from Engagement Cocktail Party to IMAX 300. Not sure how to dress for that, even without considering my limited wardrobe.
