When I was changing out of these clothes after work I caught a glimpe in the mirror and thought that somehow my green sweater had stained the tops of the shoulders, becaused they seemed kind of dark.

Then I looked closer and realized that this shirt was so threadbare, you could see my skin through the tops of the shoulders. So I figured I finally needed to face the music and retire it. Sad day for my closet.

In college it was frequently borrowed by roommates because it is the traveling pants of shirts - it fit everyone perfectly. I wore it to several job interview and school presentations, and to work in my last four jobs.

Wow, I can’t believe i’m getting emotional about a shirt. At any rate, the top will live on - thanks to RIT dye and a necklace tutorial for jersey shirts. I’ll keep you posted, but here is my first attempt at the necklace that I made with a dry-clean only shirt I ruined.

My two favorite fall items, smashed.

I’ve been wearing this green shrug sweater and my new gray shirt dress a lot in the past few weeks, so I thought - why not pair them?

It got down to a chilly 55 in SoCal…brrrr. The perfect time to break out my green tights. the lighting turned out weird for these pictures - in real life, the tights are almost the exact same shade as the sweater, but  in these photos, the shadow makes them look dark.
