You know how I love, love, love tie-dye, right? And that I even have tie-dye dinner napkins!? You didn't? Well I do, and I also have tie-dye underwear (but that was a laundry accident, so I'm not sure that really counts as "Tie-Dye"). Then you can understand how I'm just dying to wear tie-dye jeans with the NEW Havaianas Top Mix and a blousy white top . After looking up and down Singapore for a pair with a good dark wash-to-white spots ratio, I was so,so, so, so, so excited to have found one in Forever21 for $40 ... DRESSING ROOM REALITY CHECK MOMENT: Wot da ?!!! Nooooooooo!!!I just don't have the correct hip-to-thigh ratio for this type of jean..WhArrrggghhh! Then I burst into boisterous tears. My recollection of the events after are a bit hazy. But I do recall a nervous salesperson collected me from the dressing room floor because my sister in law P, was having none of my histrionics over a pair of jeans and was pretending not to know me . The kind manager offered me tissues and tried to console me by showing me some shiny sequined tube tops. I politely declined the tube tops and reassured the other customers around me loudly that " I will survive this fashion disaster.... this too shall pass,....it takes more than a pair of jeans to get a good woman down....." Having ran out of patience for my melodrama, P used the end of her umbrella to poke my behind, and thus I was ushered out of the store.... Since I'm not one to dwell on "what could have been", I'm slowly brainwashing mini-sassy that SHE needs tie-dye jeans in her closet! What's the use in having a daughter if one can't live out one's fashion dreams vicariously through them, right? I mean Seriously!! At least , mini sassy and I are finally the same Havaianas size and can share the Havaianas Top MIX. so I think I really WILL survive this fashion depression after all...
XOXO,
sassy
