let's discuss shoes, shall we?
what with everyone talking about shoes these days, i feel all inspired.
so this week, i wore a lot of non-hobbit, cute shoes. tomorrow, i think i might wear these never-before photographed shoes. they look very nice with my springtime raincoat, which i might just need tomorrow.
i went up to the attic this evening and pulled down all of my summer shoes. it's like suddenly getting a bunch of new shoes all at once! how i do heart some of those shoes. i had forgotten about the little lavendar ones. i will have to wear those soon.
i also pulled down a lot of clothes that have got to go. i know they probably won't sell so well at the yard sale, but one way or another they are leaving the house this weekend. a lot of things that i think i held on to because i was afraid i'd gain back all the weight i lost. but the thing is, even if i do gain it all back (let's hope not), i will never wear those kind of clothes again (i hope). no vast, shapeless shirts, no high-waisted, tapered jeans. time to let all of that crap go.
there's one category of clothes that i just don't know how to handle. i have a vast array of roswell-related t-shirts. they're incredibly unflattering and mostly downright ugly so i'll never wear them, but i can't quite bear to part with them. i've got a few wxdu and one starlite t-shirt that fall into about the same category. i do have the space in my attic to store them-- but what's the point? oh well. i guess i'll defer the decision to be rid of them.

sounds like you have the makings of a t-shirt quilt!

oh! that's a good idea.
i forgot that i also have a pattern for making underwear out of t-shirts. that might be good, too.

i don't know-- those are some damn ugly shirts. they might just drive potential suitors away :)

Or you could start a clothes archive. (This is not my original idea -- I shamelessly stole it from Steph.) I'm going to put old clothes that have sentimental significance (or excellent decade-party potential) in a plastic tote and stick it in an out-of-the-way compartment behind my closet.

there was a pattern for a t-shirt quilt in a recent issue of budget living. i still have it if you're interested.
