When it
comes to fashion I like bold bright colors with heavy patterned prints. They
hide the stains. In my world solid
colors are out. The reason why is simple. Number one... I tend to be clumsy. Number two... my anatomy gets in the way. I have big breasts and
I’m short. That means when I sit at a table to eat my meals they act like a
shelf. Everything falls there. So when I spill food... it shows up on a solid color shirt... much more than it would on a print... because solid colors are just too unforgiving. However, sometimes that is not the case and the print is vunerable. For example... I have a white shirt
with an abstract pattern of green and purple in it. I’m extremely careful with
it because basically it's a white shirt. But I wore it the other day. Everything was going well until my last bite of
the hotdog. Slurp… a dollop of mustard slid out the bottom end and landed smack-dab on my
shirt. I was devastated. It was my very last bite of lunch. Not even the Tide Stain Stick could get the
mustard out. So my pretty print shirt is now ruined. In retrospect I should
have taken it off or forgotten the hotdog, but I didn’t think I would need to. I was
being very cautious. But apparently not cautious enough. Perhaps I should have worn a bib? Did you ever ruin
something important to you because of something trite? Or stubbornness?
