Fashion Rut

I hate all of my clothes right now.

I stand in front of my closet and can find absolutely nothing that I would feel good about putting on.

The weather here sucks.

It's supposed to be summer. I'm supposed to be wearing summer dresses and sandals.

Instead I'm wearing long sleeve dresses with tights and boots.

My toenails have been unpainted for weeks...UNHEARD of for me...ok part of that is because my toenails look disgusting from the fact that they are rarely unpainted and almost always painted a dark color and I never put a base coat on my toes so I'm trying to leave them naked so that the disgusting part grows out and they will be pretty again. But NEVERTHELESS it is summer and I should not have the opportunity to have my toenails unpainted FOR THIS LONG.

Guys, I don't want to be wearing winter dresses with tights right now.

It depresses me.

And so I stare longingly into my closet.

Hoping and praying for something to jump out at me.

Something pretty and summery that I won't freeze my ass of wearing.

That I can just throw a jacket on and make it warm enough.

But there's nothing, NOTHING I tell you!

As the rest of you long for sweaters and boots because you've been sweating under 100 degree heat for weeks and weeks, we here in San Francisco have yet to see summer.

Sigh. Grass is always greener I guess.

  1. Yup, the grass is always greener. :)

    I wish I could come help you! I'm sure we could come up with something that would make you feel gorgeous! ;)

    Right now we are seriously suffering (not kidding) from this awful heat and drought. I think my poor (outside, farm) dogs are used to it by now. I love when they come back from the pond and they're just dripping because they went "swimming".

    On to your outfit debacle...
    it'll get better, especially as your baby bump grows. My uniform for fall/winter 2009 was a dress with leggings and Uggs. I wore this as much as possible. Not only was it cute, but it was warm and comfortable. I bought most of my stuff at Motherhood and Target. I had a leopard print faux wrap dress and a gray cowl neck knit (sort of) dress.

  2. "I hate all of my clothes right now.

    Um, can I just say that almost these exact words came out of my mouth just today?? Only for me, it's because I'm in a weird weight place, and also cause the weather sucks. I know you aren't feeling it, but I would love some chill overcast right now!
