First world problem alert....
Going to a veh veh fancy wedding this weekend. I am going to be a very ordinary person at this event, to which some major celebs turn out to also be going, gulp so I need to scrub up a bit. Btw this is not my usual weekend mostly I am covered in baby sick and leaky boobs
I spotted Reiss' Crystal skirt for £120 which would be a record spend for me on any item of clothing EVER including shoes or bags or coats. I have a hard wearing boring functional ugly wardrobe usually, due to having a physical day job and being an 8/10 on the clumsy scale.
This Reiss jobby is tewwibly nice and I look like a real lady in it. And i can get DH to buy it for me as birthday present also false economy really since it's all the same pot at the end of the day. So good so far. The problem is
- It's palest green
- It's tuille
I once owned a pale green thing before, 'twas lovely, and then there was some tomato sauce and that was that. Lasted a week I'd say.
I am also someone who navigates round obsticals by gently not so gently bumping into them. I have owned nice knits before and then there has been snagging on doorways, benches, trees, bracelets and they usually last about a week.
So I feel that I might as well make a skirt out of fivers and sit in the rain... But it's oh so so pretty and I reaaaallly like it... Asos have some vastly cheaper looking versions of the same idea but they aren't nearly as nice...sort of make me look like a child ballerina.
AIBU as a clumsy as fuck tomato sauce eating person with not a single nice place to wear nice things to ever apart from this weekend to spend one weeks maternity pay on a SKIRT? Or is Reiss BU for making something so pretty and delicate and charging a bloomin fortune for it?
Oh and I have no time to think of anything else so it's the Reiss skirt or something horrid from the back of the closet...
