I’m sure you, darling readers, are much more decisive in your dressing that I could ever hope to be. There are many mornings when I find myself standing in a heap of clothes (also invariably cursing) with no idea what to wear. It’s not that I don’t try to plan ahead. Often times before crashing (at around 2:30 AM if I’m lucky), I’ll leave a couple things that seem like they’d work together in a pile on my floor. Unfortunately, in the words of Ida Maria “What’s easy in the night is always such a bite in the morning light (oh ho ho hooo).”
Tuesday, I set out a pink and gold button down and denim shirt dress that I thought would make a lovely mélange of utilitarian worker and femme, but come Wednesday morning, I found myself wanting to wear something more streamlined and put together (the antithesis of how I felt at the time). After going through to many outfit changes and briefly wishing I could reference another Ida Maria song (“I like you so much better when you’re naked”) I settled on this mostly black-ensemble, threw on my also black raincoat, and was finally out the door.
