Rumor has it the gravy train is ending in less than two weeks… and I’m going to need to put on pants. I can quite honestly say that I’ve probably put on pants (not stretchy pants, yoga pants, or sweatpants) maybe a dozen times since I graduated – IN MAY.
Since graduation – and my move back to the suburbs – my wardrobe has consisted of:
- bikini top
- bikini bottom
- tank tops
- sundresses
- workout clothes
I haven’t even put on a Polo shirt.
I have completely ignored all emails from Banana Republic, Gap, J.Crew, etc etc offering me “excellent discounts” on pretty much everything. I only clicked on the emails twice – both from Old Navy – because I needed more tanktops. Fact.
Life changed a bit this week when I was in Banana Repubic the other day getting a sweater for family pics … and saw a dress that I should probably buy for work. Its been so long since I “got dressed” that I have NO IDEA what size I am. You think I’m kidding, but I’m not at all. I know I’m a medium bikini top, small bottom, medium workout tank, unisex headband :). I know what size I am at Lululemon …. but this does not help me at all at Banana Republic.
So, in the spirit of realizing that my gravy train only has a few more stops … I clicked on a email from BR today. It was instantly too overwhelming and I hit Command+W and closed that window real fast.
Maybe I’ll try again tomorrow….
