So I have a few....ok maybe more than a few....items of clothing that I like so much that I never wear them because I'm too worried they'll wear out...so they just chill in my closet, and when I open it, I smile at them, tell them good morning and that I'm glad to own them and sift right past them because I don't want to ruin their condition. A lot of these items are from places that I've traveled, so they remind me of that place, and also, I could never replace them. This sweater is from Japan, and I think I've actually only worn it twice, even though it's adorable and I love it. I'm just so terrified I'll make it pile, spill on it, or it'll get deodorant stains or something by me actually wearing it. So I wore this on a day when I was inside my own apartment all day, and right when I was going to go outside I took the sweater off and hung it back in my closet because I didn't want my coat to rub all over it and mess with the fabric. I have anxiety and my clothes have probably have depression. what a match made in heaven.
outfit:
hat-etsy
plaid blouse/skirt/shoes-thrifted
tights- joe fresh
sweater- Japan
I totally have pieces like that in my closet as well. I'm glad that you pulled this sweater out because it is SO cute! Love the plaid and florals as well!
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing! I basically hoard tons of cute pieces never to see the light of day because I'm terrified they'll get soiled! LOVE that monkey jumper. It's adorable!

Love your shoes!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness-I am the same way! I thought it was just me being a bit strange so it's good to hear others feel the same way about their clothing. Some pieces just hold such a special place in my heart that it's difficult to think about them getting worn out. I do love the layering here so very much. The subtle plaid was the perfect touch to your ensemble!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely combo, I adore your sweater, it's way too adorable :))
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing, but with shoes - I tend to buy them because they are pretty and different and then I'm afraid to wear them so I wouldn't damage them in any way.

What an adorable sweater! That monkey is the cutest thing! <3
ReplyDeleteI do a similar thing with my shoes. I have a few nice pairs, and when I go out - if it looks like it might rain/snow - I bring a spare pair in case I have to change out of my nice ones. Lol! The things we do for clothes/shoes! :D
That sweater is ridiculously cute and you dressed it up perfectly. You've made monkeys look chic :)

Haha, I'm so guilty of that as well! Anyway, you should definitely wear this more often, it's really cute. I just love that sweater! And the way the hat ties together the whole outfit.

Your monkey shirt is so cute! I love it layered over the plaid top. Your plaid top and floral skirt look like they were just made to be paired together too. Adorable outfit, as always!
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute in this- a fun, subtle mix of patterns.
ReplyDeletei love your style! this look is just so cute <3

love your style its so cute , your pics are great too :D following :D <3
ReplyDeleteI love the mixed patterns and the color scheme of this outfit! I know exactly how you feel about clothes anxiety. There are some things I won't wear a lot because I'm afraid they're going to get stretched out or worn out or stained. Deodorant stains are the worst. And I hate having to wash clothes after every use. Call me gross, but I wear an item of clothing a couple of times before I wash it. I just don't feel like it's dirty after one or two wears, and I don't want anything to get too faded or shrunken!
ReplyDeletewhat a nice and lovely look <3
ReplyDeletevisit mine whenever you had a chance :D

I was assuming that was from Japan. It is a very cute monkey outfit. Beautiful outfit in general.

This is adorable and your diagnosis of yourself and your clothes cracked me up!
ReplyDeletethat sweater is the bees knees
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is too cute. I wish I was that way with my clothes. I stopped wearing antiperspirant for a bit, because I didn't want to get Alzheimers, but then I was worried I was going to ruin my clothes by sweating. You know, clothes over health! That $20 Forever21 top is just too precious! So yeah, most of my clothes aren't worth saving. My Chloe shoes, on the other hand, barely get worn because I don't want them to get scuffed or start looking less fancy.
ReplyDeleteYes, to your question. We have at least one DI in Washington, that I know of. I like them, but they never have sales :/
You are just as cute as a button!
ReplyDeleteRachel
gosh, you are soo pretty! Love the outfit, so vintage!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog as well, I'm a new follower for sure!
Love the print mix here, and the sweater + the hat is absolutely adorable! :D

Such a cute outfit! I love print mixing at the moment and I always go for opposites but sticking to the same colour actually looks even better! Mind you, your gorgeous and slim- I may have to apply caution when doing it myself!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and I love that hat!

Haha! I have quite a lot of those kinds of clothes, too. Mostly vintage dresses that I feel are too precious to wear. Basically I have a closet museum... ;)
ReplyDeleteReally lovely sweater, so cute!
How cute is this sweater?? I love it with that hat and the brown tights- you have an adorable monkey-inspired look :) I know what you mean, I feel that way about a lot of my vintage dresses!
ReplyDeleteokay, you have to be the cutest! i adore this whole outfit, my favorite pieces are your sweater and your hat!
