If it isn't worn, then it knows no love.

Last night I was digging through a couple of boxes, looking for my W-2s (let's not talk about it), and I found the following:

3 dresses (2 purchased at Goodwill, 1 vintage, given to me by Madre)
1 pair of pants (Goodwill)
1 shirt (Goodwill)

In a box. In my closet.

They were there because they all need alterations. A seam is coming open on the top, and the other pieces all need to be shortened because I'm tiny.

But how sad! I'm ashamed of myself, buying beautiful clothing and then never wearing it because I can't get around to altering it as necessary.

Thus, my goal for tonight is simple: get to getting. get 'er done. get on with it.

And I'm considering making a pledge to myself to purchase nothing new OR used for a spell. I'm thinking about it, considering the ramifications of it. Thinking they're probably not as bad as I want to make them out to be. But I'm still hesitant to take away my shopping.
