suddenly a week seems like a long time

Tuesday:

1.  Wake up in gecko shirt and tinkerbell pants. 

2.  Rush to appointment uptown in first clothes I can get my hand on.  Old black v neck shirt (Lakewood Target, senior year of college, $14.99), Gap slim-fit jeans (Pasadena Gap, fall 2004, on sale! $19.99), and hot pink Havaianas (Santa Monica Urban Outfitters, December 2004, on sale! for $10). 

Look, when you where an outfit that was entirely purchased in 2004, but it’s 2008, you feel weird.  And not cute.  I swear by the power of new clothes. 

3.  Time for evening run.  WYSE t-shirt (free, spring 2005) and blue running shorts (Brooklyn Target, $14.99, a few weeks ago).  Much better than Monday’s run. 

4.  Evening laziness in gray man-sweats (see Monday) and Phi Beta Chi and the City t-shirt (free, senior year of college).  Watched new season opener of Army Wives and cried like I was watching Lifetime Television for Women.  Oh.  Wait. 

5.  Sleep in Tinkerbell pants. 

Wednesday:

Today I discover the solution to my laundry problem.  If I sleep in late, stay out all day and night, don’t excercise and go to bed early, I wear less clothes. 

1.  Wake up in toga and tiara.  Confused…

1.  Er, tinkbell pants and sorority shirt. 

2.  Off to work in spotted purple dress (Soho H&M, December 2006, $24.99 i think), black cashmere cardigan (see Sunday), black and white washed wool scarf* (J. Crew on 5th, on sale! for $22.50, April 2008), my super awesome stirrup leggings!! (French Connection, Bloomingdale’s, December 2007, $38 less discount), and silver Havaianas. 

These stirrup pants are tranny fierceness!  Esp. with flip flops.  It’s a different take on all the foot coverage right now. 

*Man outside of Dempsey’s:  So it’s been what, 80 or 90 degrees for two weeks?  And yet you’re rocking a scarf?

Me (totally deadpan):  I’m freezing.

3.  Come home, totally tired for some reason, and pass out in the exact same outfit I woke up in.  Yes, the toga.
