Shallow fashion whining

I'm in the depths of one of my "find all the stripey blazers!" cycles. Why yes, you remember correctly: I DO have a bunch of stripey blazers already.

None of them fit me right now^*.

::And now, the Body Image Demons, performing their timeless classic "QUUUUUEEEEEEEN OF THE WAAAAAALRUS PEOPLE!"::

I am taking steps (literally, heh) to fix that situation, but that doesn't change the fact that I want stripey blazers that fit me NOW. I am in the midst of tailoring one that was in the depths of the Storage Heap Room o' Doom, but let's be realistic about me, I need at least two stripey blazers: one black and white, one black and pink.

Finding black and white stripey blazers would be a lot simpler if I wasn't fervently, irrationally against horizontal stripes for myself. But every time I think about wearing a horizontally-striped blazer, the Body Image Demons get even louder. Which I didn't think was possible.





^*Okay, that's not quite true. My striped frock coat from F+F still fits. But that's a smidge more formal than I want for my usual "leaving the house" fashion. The frock coat is for fancy events, not wandering around.
