not the brightest shirt in the closet

i have been informed by my younger sibling that she tagged me almost a week ago, and i have yet to talk about my closet. (believe me- we really shouldn't go there...)

but, since you insist, kiddo, go there, we shall:

three random facts about my closet
1. the lightswitch has to be on all the way (you can't just flick it and get results), or else you will have to search for clothes in the dark
2. it's not nearly large enough for all my crap
3. the door has not closed in the two and a half years i've lived in my current apartment

three items i've never worn but still haven't tossed
1. my "mardi grass" t-shirt (i'm not into weed, but the shirt's acquisition is a story for a book some day.)
2. this handkerchief "shirt" i bought in atlanta when i went to see the marvelous 3's farewell concert over 4 years ago. i think it set me back about five bucks, but i just don't have the body for it right now.
3. a pair of cream and pale blue espadrielles i bought the first time i went to spain. i think i may have won them to the airport or train station or something during the trip, but i had a hard time walking in them.

three items i'll never get rid of, no matter how ugly they get
1. the evil black doc martens that sent me flying down a flight of stairs in high school (they're a size too big). i wound up with stitches and a shattered front tooth. ah, memories.
2. my yellow low cut chuck taylors. i only know of one other person who likes them, but that's okay...they're probably not your size, anyway.
3. my "rasta" overalls. they're a combination of various blue, purple, and white aptterns. i haven't worn them since college, i do not posess any sort of footwear that looks good with them, and i'm sure the fashion police would be summoned as soon as i set foot in public while wearing them. however, they hold a place near and dear to my heart, and therefore, i cannot part with them anytime soon.

three items people wouldn't expect to find in my closet
1. various items left over from my preschool career (toy-filled pumpkins, beach balls, rolls of stickers, et cetera.)
2. seashells (pensacola, i think)
3. nkotb memorabilia (it's not like i have it out in the open- it's closed up in a rubbermaid box.)

three items that made me go, "oh lord, what was i thinking?"
1. "stylish" white sandals from payless- chunky heel and all. (wait a minute- did those already get donated to goodwill? i can't recall.........)
2. platform sandals with flowers and straw in a combination that may be just right one someone else's feet- but just plain wrong on mine.
3. the skintight black polyester pants.....only flattering if your thighs are the size of matchsticks- which mine are not. (they would make good "bar pants", but i prefer jeans.)

three things that i have a surprising number of
1. boxed holiday cards (you have no idea.)
2. tennis shoes (imelda can have her heels...ever since my five year stint at athletic attic, i've been a tennis shoe junkie. i'm not big on nikes, though.)
3. jeans with holes. i have one pair without holes, and they don't fit right. every other pair has at least one hole, be it in the crotch, belt loops, and/or around the back pockets. (perhaps it's time for a trip tot the store.)

three dominant colors in my wardrobe
1. grey
2. blue
3. white (because i have a lot of t-shirts....otherwise, i'd say "more grey")

three items that never fail to put me in a good mood whenever i wear them
1. long-sleeved cookie monster shirt
2. purple velvet airwalks
3. comfortable jeans (yeah- holes and all)

three people i will tag
1.
2.
3.
i'm leaving this up to you guys. if you want to play along, be my guest. (just let me know by leaving a message in my comments section, okay? thanks.)
