Have you heard of bad clothing karma? Well, let me tell you, It Exist!
I am true believer in karma! She can be good to you, but boy, you get on her bad side and things are going to "Hell in a hand basket". (I am southern and I still don't know exactly what that means, but it ain't good). Well Karma has this cousin, we call her "Bad Clothing Karma" and clearly we aren't on good terms.....I think I know why....
Pacing back and forth in my closet, the depression started setting in. There I was, a few days before heading back home for a wonderful 10 day Christmas break in North Carolina, and I had nothing cute in my closet to pack. Now, normally I don't care too much what I look like, but I was heading to spend time with some of the cutest, hippest, fashionistas I know. I love my friends, they are some of the greatest girls I know, but they kill me on the cute scale. I mean really, I can't even compete. So in my hour of darkness, I cursed the lack luster clothing in my closet and started just throwing things in a suitcase. It was what it was, nothing I could do about it. My mood did perk a little bit a few days later when I had received the wonderful gifts of money and Kohl's gift cards. SHOPPING TRIP!!!! It is amazing how little you get for $200 these days, but I was happy! I now had new stylish things to wear, well shirts anyway. (I am not sure I can ever compete with their jewelry)
Well, I thought all was good, but then I lost the first pair of jeans. Randomly one day, a few weeks ago, I realized I had a hole in the knee of my jeans. Assuming I just caught it on something, I had a little "sigh" moment and moved on.
Oh, but karma wasn't done yet. While giving Aida a bath last weekend, I lost pair number 2. I was sitting there on my little stool, chasing her around the tub, trying to get her washed up when I heard it. Yep, ripped right up the crack. You know, if that isn't a self esteem buster, I don't know what is! Like "hey fatty, have another Hershey Kiss!" What? Your jeans don't talk to you? An even bigger "sigh" moment and almost a tear! I had now lost 2 of the 5 pair of jeans I own.
Well wouldn't you know it, Bad Clothing Karma reared her beautiful (trying to get on her good side here) head again last night. I was folding laundry when I saw it, #3 is on her death bed. The butt of this pair worn so thin that she's going to go (no pun intended, hehe) any day now! And just to make sure death is upon pair #3, the knee is about to blow too.
This is no coincidence that I have lost 3 pair in a two week time period. This clearly is the work of Karma!
Moral of this story, don't fuse at your clothes, they will revolt!
