This would be a better prompt for someone like Sonia, because Sonia has big feelings about her clothes.
Me? I just am not that passionate about clothing. I like to look kind of put together, but my tastes are fairly basic.
(My uniform for most of the year is jeans and some kind of knit top. In hot weather, it’s shorts and a knit top.)
my denim jacket
I got this in a Stitch Fix, and I love it because it’s soft and stretchy (at least, as denim jackets go), and it’s nicely fitted.
a flowered maxi dress
I don’t get to wear this all that often, but I do really love it. It’s from Stitch Fix too.
a green knit shirt with a hood
Oddly enough, this is also from Stitch Fix.
It’s really soft, the green color is warm enough to flatter my skin tone, and the hood makes it cute.
It’s interesting; I have gotten a lot of clothes in my Stitch Fix boxes that I have really hated (and promptly sent back!)
But the ones that I have kept have definitely ended up being items I really, really love.
Stitch Fix is either really good, or really bad, I guess!
Like Sonia, I’m actually very passionate about my wardrobe, so choosing just three items is going to be tricky!
1) I have a dress with little flamenco dancers on it, which I absolutely adore. I found it in Brighton.
2) I have a short blue dress covered in little white flowers, originally from Spain, which I found in a charity shop. The best part is that it has four big pockets!
3) I have a sweater which shows a cat riding a bicycle in a pumpkin patch. People say it’s crazy but I still love it – likewise with my yellow trousers which have ducks on! There, I snuck in a fourth haha!
I can tell that your wardrobe is full of prints! Sonia has a lot of prints as well.
Yup, especially animals and flowers! I’m very fond of polka dots too 🙂
You and Sonia would get along famously. 🙂
1) My Harry Potter shirt…yes, I’m a 45 year old woman who wears a Harry Potter shirt 🙂
2) My one and only pair of jeans…because I hate jeans…too stiff…so when I find a pair that actually fit nicely, I’m over the moon
3) My black capris from Chicos…because every pair of pants from Chicos that I own are comfortable, dressy and good quality
First, a big, ugly fleece that I wear all winter long at home. Second, my running shoes (that I never actually run in, but I have to be able to go in and outdoors all day, so I use them in place of slippers). And third, I have this black nylon (I think?), elastic-waist, calf-length skirt that I bought 18 years ago that I call “my miracle skirt.” It doesn’t wrinkle and it has miraculously fit me and even been flattering over 18 years of pregnancies/weight fluctuations. I could even wear it when I was pregnant if I pulled it up more. I love that thing.
Wait, what? Is your oldest 18?? If so, I have seriously fallen behind on my mental idea of your kids’ ages!
No, my oldest is 10.5 years, but my weight was fluctuating before that. Mostly going up incrementally. 🙂 By the time I had my first kid at 30, I was already not the same size as when I bought that skirt at 22.
My blue Mammut down parka makes me feel happy every time I put it on. It’s like wearing a sleeping bag that also happens to look nice. Hard to choose for my other stuff but probably my toad & co long sleeve t-shirts (I have the same shirt in three colors so I must love it!) and my dark blue dress with a flounce and a white key pattern.
I once joked to a coworker when I worked in an office that my dream job was one where I could wear a free T-shirt jeans every day. I feel like I win. 🙂
My three things:
Jeans.
Sneakers/running shoes.
Free T-shirt.
