| The curse of the wardrobe lurker |
| Thursday, July 21, 2005 |
Ever wondered what is responsible for those bad-outfit days? It's the wardrobe lurker.
Let me explain. Wardrobe lurkers look quite unassuming hanging prettily in your wardrobe, but really they are evil.
This is what happens with a wardrobe lurker – you buy it because it looks nice, but its evil nature is underlying and only emerges when you wear it out in the wide world. This is when you discover it is the most uncomfortable piece of clothing known to woman.
The thing about the wardrobe lurker is you still think it looks like a nice clothing piece so you can’t throw it away. You pop it back in your cupboard and there it stays until sufficient time has passed for you to forget the pain it can cause. So then you give it another chance in the daylight.
So today's wrap-around skirt is quintessential wardrobe lurker. No matter how much I tug or twist it, it falls open unattractively when I sit down, sometimes revealing my underwear, which is not always of the pretty frilly variety.
But now it's going to meet its fate ... not at the charity shop because I couldn't live with myself if some other poor woman inherited the WL, but IN THE BIN |
