Jean Jacket Envy

Take One, Pass It On Item:  denim jacket from last Monday.  Also, I'm being such a copycat lately.  I hope you all don't mind!)

The first clothing-related memory I have is of wanting a jean jacket.  I remember another girl at preschool had a really awesome jean jacket and I thought I should have one too.  The funny thing is that I don't actually remember getting the much-desired jean jacket.  But here I am, 4 years old, sporting a jean jacket that was probably a hand-me-down from my brother.  

My next clothing related memory involves me lying to my mother.  We were looking for school shoes before Kindergarten or First Grade, and there was this really awesome pair of hot pink Converse high-tops that I really, REALLY wanted.  I tried them on and they were just a little bit tight, but the Salesperson already mentioned that they didn't have the next size up.  I was like "yep, they fit perfectly!  Plenty of room in the toe!" and we bought them.  A few days later, we returned them, and I got stuck with some lame LA Gear tennis shoes with lace laces.  So embarrassing, but I guess I deserved it for lying.

Zombie Bait

If a zombie situation ever occurs, I'm fairly resigned to the fact that I will be one of the first to die (or you know, un-die, or whatever).  I mean, I'm not too worried about a zombie apocalypse actually happening, but if it does, I'm toast - I can't run very fast, and I totally fall apart in high pressure situations.  Even if I did manage to evade the zombies, I wouldn't do very well with scrounging for food and survival out in the woods or wherever we would be hiding out.

I recently started a one-month free trial at Curves, and when I went in to sign all the forms, the lady asked me what reasons I had for wanting to get in shape, other than being healthy and looking better. I completely drew a blank at the time, but when I got home and we started watching season 2 of The Walking Dead, I realized my goal for getting into shape should be to survive if zombies ever show up. That's a good fitness goal, right?   I really wish I would have thought of that and said it with a straight face when she asked.

Anyway, I also like my new skirt!  J.Crew outlet might be my new favorite store.
