The neat thing about documenting what I wear is I get to relive my clothes’ history.

Yes, there’s a story behind almost every article of clothing I own.

Some funny; like the blazer I wore inside-out to a job interview.

Some loving; like my Elsa Peretti bean necklace.

Some painful; like the expensive flats I got after a long and painful day walking the gravel paths of Jardin des Tuileries

Some bizarre; like the coat I got from the store with the special room in the back for ‘special’ customers

Some boring; like the Breton shirt I bought a couple of weeks ago.

Take this pink ruffle tank I got a while back for example; it’s been languishing in my closet for quite some time now.

It’s one of those things that just didn’t turn out the way I expected.

Even though I got it in a ‘small’, I found it was just too big to wear as a tank.

I probably didn’t realize that the sizes run big because my glasses tend to makes objects appear smaller (seriously!).

Reading this post on how Kelly Ripa wore it still didn’t help.

I finally decided to try wearing it as a vest, and I’m still not sure if it worked.

There are some aspects I like about the outfit and some that I don’t.

I’ll have to try a few other styling options, this could be fun.

I wore this on my first day back at work after the holidays, it rained spectacularly that day.

I got to wear my favourite rain boots all week long.
