Your fashion-challenged Avid Bruxist, she is back with more (mis)adventures! (If you want to read previous Stitch Fix\/fashion posts, scroll to the bottom and click the\u00a0Fayshun<\/a>\u00a0tag.)<\/p>\n

Let’s jump right in with a #no. Don’t get me wrong–I love a peasant blouse but not this peasant blouse.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

As always, Kate could articulate it perfectly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Question: Am I too old for pigtails?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have no interest in jellies, but pretty much my whole beach vacation, I had my sister-in-law do double French braids, and tbh I’d do them myself 6 out of 7 days except my arms get real tired.<\/p>\n

Moving on. Stitch Fix did it again<\/a>. I mean, it’s fine.\u00a0It’s fine.<\/em> V-necks flatter me; it’s basic black; the cut is decent. But as usual<\/p>\n

Looking back on previous fashion posts, I’m astounded by how much #booshit I kept. I kept items that were not right, just because I thought they were the best I could get, or maybe the best I deserved. But the best I can get, what I deserve, is clothing that makes me feel great<\/em>. Not<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I feel like there’s a life lesson in there.<\/p>\n

Next we had these pants that kinda looked and sorta felt like a fuzzy bathrobe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And hard as my knee-jerk #no was, I had the weird feeling that Kate would disagree, and I was right.<\/p>\n

(Note: The orange biker sweatshirt mentioned below is a seminal fashion moment for your Avid Bruxist. If you weren’t around for it, click here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

She didn’t hate them?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She said work, sure, but I just couldn’t do it. Felt like a clown, and eighty-nine and a half ducats is too dear for this Bozo. Sent them back.<\/p>\n

Kate let me know Boden is a British clothing company that she’s obsessed with, and Ravello is one of their signature shirts<\/a>. It’s a good shirt. Might have to get some.<\/p>\n

Though, you know what? Part of my battle against diet culture\/diet mentality<\/a> has been curating my social media feeds to include body diversity, and man!, looking at Boden’s website has reminded me that most companies still feature only your garden-variety, taller-than-average, near-anorexic model. Stahp. For fuck’s sake. Maybe I won’t buy your goddamn Ravello.<\/p>\n

Speaking of taller-than-average, I myself am not. I’m not even averager-than-average. You wouldn’t think that would matter when it comes to accessories, but that’s where you’re wrong.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

To be fair, “long” was in the name, but<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She makes me google so many things! Apparently, JVN is Jonathan Van Ness of\u00a0Queer Eye\u00a0<\/em>fame, and everything for him is a “moment.”<\/p>\n

Since the first draft of this post, I’ve started watching QE<\/em>, and I. Am. Obsessed.<\/p>\n

Except with the episode where they solve police brutality against black men with a chat and a hug. That one made me want to throw my TV out the window.<\/p>\n

Hey, if you want to try Stitch Fix for yourself, please use\u00a0this link<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. They\u2019ll give me a $25 credit, and I\u2019ll keep writing these silly blogs.<\/p>\n
