Remember when it was totally fashionable to wear overalls?
For some reason I am not sleeping right now. It's 10:00 and Vera is in bed and Derek is sleeping and I am awake. I should be sleeping because I am sure Vera will be up in a matter of hours in need of her pacifier and I will have to pull myself out of a sleepy stupor and a warm bed to walk into her room, feel around for her pacifier and put it back in her mouth. But hey, when you just aren't ready to sleep, there is not sense in pushing it, right?
Instead I'm watching a rerun of Friends. It's from the second season. And in this particular episode, Rachel is wearing a really stylish pair of overall shorts. It's crazy to think about how fashion has changed since this show began. But then again, I guess this show started when I was in the 8th grade...it's only natural that things should look a little dated.
The funny thing is that I have a few things in my closet that date back to this show. In fact, I still have my 7th grade volleyball t-shirt. I was just telling Derek tonight that because I don't go shopping for clothes on a regular basis I generally wouldn't consider myself "fashionable". I can make myself quite presentable, but if something still fits, I keep it. Thankfully I've had a few friends who have helped me through this. Right after I graduated college Jess and Lisa helped me out a lot. They basically took things out of my closet that were clearly dated and made me give them away. Then when Melissa and I lived together I feel like her fashion sense rubbed off on me enough that my closet was pretty fashionable too. And now, even though it's been two and a half years since we've lived, my closet still looks pretty much the same as it did then.
Once I lose the last of this baby weight, I will go out and buy something new for the wardrobe. Until then, you can find me in my "Minnehaha Academy 7th grade Volleyball" t-shirt. It's super stylish.
