the one i'm afraid of

are you prone to ripping, snagging, and generally ruining clothes that you really like?  i am.  big time.  i'm not sure why that is, but it seems like the clothes i don't particularly like are invincible to my unintentional destruction, yet the pretty, lacy, favorite things always get hung or ripped on a ring or bracelet, stained by mustard, eaten by dragons accidentally thrown in the dryer and shrunk beyond recognition, etc.  this is one of those skirts i'm almost afraid to wear because i like it so much...



































shirt: banana republic (thrifted) // necklace: gift from beca // skirt: forever 21 (gift from chris) // shoes: i think i got them at the rugged wearhouse but i'm not sure

    I HATE when my clothes get eaten by dragons! But no, I am prone to strange stains & snags...usually I try to mend them/cover them. That skirt is super adorable though :)

    I definitely have some items I'm afraid of wearing, and of course when I eventually do I spill salsa on myself. I love this skirt!!

    Hey, check your email by the way ;)

    My favourite dress got ripped - I keep meaning to ask my Mum to repair it for me but I know how busy she is but it's in a really awkward place so I can't do it myself.

    My little sister is always ruining her clothes! Hole near a button, stain on an elbow, rip in the shoulder! You name it, she has done it to her clothes!

    I am forever destroying my clothes. The more I like them the more likely they are to be attacked by dragons. Fact.

    I feel the same way lady. It sucks. I often try to prolong my first time wearing it because of this phobia and i ride a bike everyday which often ruins my clothes. It is a hard life. Hehe

    oh gosh, i share your neuroses about ruining clothes. i, far too often, buy clothes and let them sit in my closet, waiting for special occasions. and then i realize they've been dormant for years. uhhh, oops? but i can understand -- that skirt is just lovely. and it's even more precious when it's a gift! you look gorgeous & i love the texture of the skirt with the stripedy top. beautiful girl, beautiful outfit. xo.

    I am totally prone to damaging my favorite clothing pieces! It's totally a shame to avoid wearing the favorites, though: so I try to resist the urge to leave them on the hanger.

    I'm totally the same way, even with my daughter's clothes. I save my favorite things of hers for a special occasion and then she ends up only wearing them once or twice before she grows out of them.

    Dragons are the worst with eating clothes. BAH!

    I'm totally the same way with not wanting to ruin clothes. I boguht this awesome poncho in Nice and I'm sooo scared to ruin it. I think I've worn it once.

    That skirt is gorgeous! I know what you mean, though - why do I never spill food on my sweatpants, but always on things like my silk dresses? And that begs the question - why do I keep buying things like silk dresses if I know they're already jinxed?

    I am prone to spilling coffee on myself. I have a large pile of dry-cleaning to prove it! I love that skirt, the pattern and colours are so perfect for spring!!

    Tears and snags! My husband is learning to sew and he wants to fix such things - but I'm a little afraid he's going to make them worse.

    That skirt looks beautiful but fragile... wear it out with purpose!
