Day 20: A Few of my Favorite Things

Do you have favorite clothes? Like a favorite shirt growing up or when you wear your favorite outfit, you feel really good about yourself? Or, do you have your favorite around-the-house outfit? Clothes have always meant so much to me, as I am sentimental about clothes.

When I was 4, I remember (thanks to a picture) that I wore my Wonder Woman shirt and blue shirts as often as I could. I was pretty small for age, and I remember my mom making a big deal about me still wearing size 4 at age 6.

When I was 9, I had an awesome white tank top with bright colored scribbles on it. We moved that year, and I remember looking for it and never finding it. I was bummed about not finding this shirt for over a year.

When I was in the midst of my teens, I wore these outfits that had these awful leotard -ike bodysuits that snapped (like a onesie) and tight colored jeans with boots. I thought they were to die for, but now, I would die wearing it. I even vividly remembering watching Sister Act II, and I wanted the main character's outfit in the last dance, which featured a red bodysuit and baggy jeans.

When I was a freshman in college, I was a total prep. I wore button up shirts, sweater vests or sweaters over them with the tail out with jeans and Doc Martins. This was a style that I think I could still pull off today. I would switch the boots mostly because Docs weigh too much.

When I was a brand new teacher, I shopped quite often at New York & Company. I had a red shirt and a red, black, and white sideway striped skirt. This was a beloved outfit of mine, and if I could fit in it and still owned it, I would still be sporting it today.

Currently, my favorite outfits are probably ones that you have never seen, as they are made up of the softest shirts and pants I can find. I have this hand-me-down pair of men's gray American Eagle sweats, a hand-me-down men's gray zip up hoodie, and a light blue t-shirt featuring camel coffee from Tulsa that are three of my most beloved articles of clothing. Sometimes, I will wear them together, or feature them separately, so I can have one super soft thing with other semi-soft clothes. On the flip side, I do have some favorite outfits that I wear to go outside of my house. These outfits include colored jeans, a long enough shirt to reach my thighs, and either boots or flats. I do, also, enjoy jackets or cardigans. I am a layer-wearer, and I wear a tank top every single day all day long. This might be odd, but I know no other way.

This random clothes blog was brought to you because I am cleaning out my daughters' clothes. I have many sentimental outfits for them at each age, and I could dote on those for hours. Instead, I wanted to reveal clips of myself throughout the ages. Let me know some of your favorites as you grew up, or even today.
