Tag: Alaia

Lately I’ve really been in a strange place- at least outfit wise. I wear black, all the time (not even charcoal or navy things, just black). I have these Mossimo long sleeve crew neck shirts from Target (about 40 identical) and I wear them EVERY SINGLE DAY. I feel paralyzed without them.. but I am sick of looking like I’m heading to a funeral. The other day someone asked…are you a cleaning lady??… There are people who are lazy about getting dressed up, and then there are people like me who’ve reached a new plateau of laziness, I’m even starting to feel ashamed about the way I look. There are women who HAVE a good excuse for looking like a slob, most of them have just given birth or are child-rearing. Not me! I mean, I keep saying to myself..’pull it together and put some makeup on, even if it’s so you don’t offend other people!’ I knew I needed nice pieces that were pulled together, pieces that I didn’t have to think about so much in those painful morning hours, clothes that were COMFORTABLE and anti-fussy…..but at the same time the thought of shopping was a nightmare. All I want to buy is Alaia and I can’t afford it..I had to design and make my own reality…
