I am insanely excited to share with you the voice of my blogosphere friend Deborah Bryan. Deb and I e-met through a mutual friend a few years ago, and ever since I have felt a deep connection to her that belies the fact we’ve met in person only once before.
If you don’t already follow her, do yourself a solid and zip over to The Monster in Your Closet stat. Well, right after reading this.
Today you’re wearing a dress with a broken zipper.
That’s just like you.
Wait, that didn’t sound as nice as I meant it.
Let me start over.
Today you wore a lovely dress you haven’t been able to wear for a few months. You were delighted to see how pretty you look in it, but not so delighted when the zipper in back burst all the way to your waist while you leaned over to put on your toddler’s shoes two hours later.
“+%÷@#!” you thought, before deciding—a split second later—that the best immediate solution was to be thankful for your long sweater. You’ve used binder clips to deal with cleavage issues, but they’re harder to use for back wardrobe mishaps without a girlfriend close at hand. There were other options, of course, but this was the one you quickly determined best in light of the circumstances.
Thank goodness for long sweaters! Courtesy yours, you made it to work on time and looking fine.
Do you see the compliment yet? No?
Okay, I’m getting there! Read more
