clothes

most of my clothes are hand-me-downs or thrift store finds.

this means that 80% of them fit poorly and/or are unflattering.

my clothing budget is about $1 a month, so replacing them is not an option. right now i am in the process of altering, tailoring, and painting them into something i like that i feel good wearing.

i plan on posting some before and after pictures, but don't hold your breath.
