It was sunny when I woke up this morning. And I did the whole layinbedhalfasleephalfawakething? So, when I had-had-HAD to go, I slipped on a dress, belted it, and ran out. Its cold out. Sunny, but cold. Anyway, my boss and I went “shopping” (aka spying on the market) before we went to see clients and I spotted this sweatshirt on a clearance rack in front of one of those cliche mall stores that sell disposable clothing (ala Forever21 & Styles). My boss turned around in impatience when I lingered and said in a disdainful tone, “You’re going to buy that?”
“Under $10?” I hugged it to my chest and smirked at him. “I’m putting it on now.”
He held any further judgement until we were about to enter the clients’ building. “Arent you going to take that off?”
I bit my lip and considered my options. Then I removed the belt and put it over the sweatshirt and rolled up my sleeves. It won me dirty looks but I stuck up my chin defiantly and headed inside.
8 compliments. Not to brag or anyt—fuck that. I’m bragging. (Sighs)
Lets get this straight, I know nothing about fashion or anything … but this bird has guts & style!
