And I'm going to follow your lead and decide not to be shamed by it.<br /><br />lacochran - I have done this with sooo many pairs of pants. It's just ridiculous.<br /><br />vvk - I know. It's such an immense effort. Once you have the needle threaded it takes, what, three minutes? But getting to that point can take years.<br /><br />carly - Not that I'm glad you lock yourself in, but you totally get it! I don't know why I'm like this, but I am.<br /><br />Kate - I think these little mending tricks have nothing to do with hotness. I'm certain you looked hot. It's hard to hold everything together! Clothes are the least of it!<br /><br />Nicole - Yes! Why is this? I drive myself crazy with this.<br /><br />J - I have totally duct taped boots.

I have the button to replace it sitting in my closet yet I cannot find the motivation to just sew on the new button already.

I also have a little basket of random buttons. I own a needle and different colours of thread. I possess the knowledge and ability to sew. And yet. The shirts continue to hang and I am wearing a frumpy t-shirt to work today. <br /><br />Also, I hem my pants with scotch tape.

I fall down more than I'd like to admit when putting on tights in the morning. <br /><br />Jordan is adorable in this photo! Happy weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
