Why This is Not a Fashion Blog

Merrick has started doing a nifty little side-bar feature on her blog with a picture of what she wears every day. She’d asked me about doing it with her, but I said no because I guarantee I would fail miserably at taking AND uploading a picture of myself every day. I know myself.

Also, there is the teeny problem that I do not wear new cool clothing every day. Most days I look astonishingly similar to this:

I took this picture last Thursday night. Earlier in the day (that is, the part of the day before the temperature rose to 80 degrees), I had a bright green sweater on over the top. Embarrassingly, I had worn exactly that same outfit on Monday. Same shoes, same jeans, same shirt, same sweater, same hair.

In my defense, I did laundry on Wednesday night, so the shirt and jeans were clean again and just begging to be worn.

Also, except for going to work, I don’t really do any of the same things on Monday as I do on Thursday (I totally did this same thing in college – wearing different things MWF and then repeating on TTh). And at work, it’s mostly technology guys (if I see anyone, since I generally sit in my cube and see nothing but my computer), so I didn’t figure THEY’D notice.

Anyway, that is why I’m not posting pictures of what I’m wearing. It would shock you to know just how many variations on black shirts and jeans I can wear. Or maybe it wouldn’t.
