I have discovered my first item for the discard pile. I got this shirt from Anthropologie last year and have only worn it a couple of times because no matter what I pair it with, it just doesn't look right. My mother always warns me about these types of shirts and I never listen to her. I can always hear her saying "You could never wear that stuff when you were little and I dressed you..." as I walk out of a dressing room disgruntled (usually because she is with me during these failed shopping escapades). See, I have a longer torso and my natural waistline is low so shirts or dresses that have an empire waistline are hard for me to pull off. Combined with the thin material, this shirt just hits wrong. It makes me appear to have the dreaded "back fat" and I feel self-conscious when I wear it. This will be added to the Goodwill/good friends pile.
Since the above that I wore to work is a discard, I changed my shirt to hang out with friends. This is a shirt that my mom got me from JCrew (the outlet) and I feel much better in it. I saw this online when it first came out and I debated too long so it was sold out in my size by the time I made a decision. I considered getting the look-a-like that Old Navy made but I'm glad I didn't because my mother is always somehow able to find clothes that are sold out. I'm a lucky girl. :)
