Okay so, I was forewarned that my clothes would in fact get completely ruined by the end of my study abroad trip. Little did I know that they were fully, one hundred and ten percent right. Note to all those planning on traveling a lot in the near future,
wear things that are comfy and that you have no sentimental attachment to.
Shall I demonstrate?
Exhibit A: "The Tom Tragedy"
This Tom has lived a wonderful life, like its partner in crime, LT (Left Tom, naturally). I can deal with holes in the toes. I can deal even with the heal rippage (yes, we are going to
say this is a real word. Deal with it), but the SIDE??!?! This makes them virtually unwearable. Good thing I recently picked up sowing. (sorta) Good enough at least to temporarily sow them back together.
If only I could find my needle now....

Exhibit B: "The Holy Jeans"
These bad boys decided to rip on Easter Sunday. That's only reason why they are titled holy. And the hole too. Doi. But this hole is not any normal hole, but a hole in the crotch. Yep, the worse possible location to get a hole, making them also...unwearable. What a tragedy.
Last night, my other (and only other) pair of jeans had a malfunction as well. The zipper broke. If you see me living in London in tights and yoga pants, you know why.
Exhibit C: "The Blubberin' Booties"
MY FAVORITE SHOES OF ALL TIME. All scuffed up and heel exposed. These shoes are taking the whole "heel-toe" dance shuffle thing to a new level (yes, the toes are like this too).
These shoes practically speak for themselves...or write their own eulogies, I should say.
Exhibit D: "The Klash of the Keds."
So these little whippersnappers are getting holes and cracks all the way around. It's like they are wanting my disgusting feet smell to escape into the air and pollute our environment and possible weaken the ozone layer even more than it already is. I'm just waiting for the day when they finally snap in half.
Good thing nothing I own is truly expensive. THRIFT STORE SHOPER FTW!
So yes, there is more I could show you (coats, shirts, flannels, cardigans, the list goes on...quite like Rose's heart in Titanic), but I will leave it at such. You get the idea.
In actual life updates, I leave on Monday for 20 days of backpacking through Europe!! WHOOO!!! My journeys are taking me to Budapest, Rome, Salerno, Florence,Venice, and Barcelona. Can't wait. So excited. I'll try to update before I leave with a legit life update and not just my clothing issues.
over and out,
Madi Mae
p.s. Sorry. This is quite possibly the dumbest post I have ever left. #overit
p.p.s. GO SEE TITANIC IN 3D. RELIVE THE 90'S IN ALL IT'S THREE DIMENSIONAL GLORY.
