Goodbye, shirt-dress-tunic thingy

Shirt-dress-tunic thingy, I bought you from the thrift shop because you were a warm-ish cotton flannel in an interesting length. I enjoyed wearing you because you were an interesting length. You helped me make a fantastic example of power-clashing pattern mixing, and that outfit was epic (https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....ern-mixing)

However, I didn't wear you often enough, because I just thought your cut was kind of boring. You had no darts or seams to help give me shape, and belting you just looked weird to my eyes (which maybe wasnt your fault since im the one who gained weight and made belts look funny on me in certain combinations).

You were also not well served by my extremely cramped closet conditions, and always looked like you needed to have a date with an iron. The space you occupied is more useful to me if it contains one of the asymmetric tunics that I adore wearing. Rather than let you languish, rumpled and wrinkled, unloved... I shall pass you on to someone who can appreciate you far more than I ever did.

Thank you, shirt-dress-tunic thingy. I'll always remember the epic power-clashing pattern mixing outfit we made together.

    I love your "goodbye" posts! 

    This was indeed an interesting piece, but time to move on if it's just not doing it for you anymore. I don't have a lot of closet space either, and in some ways it can be a blessing, because it helps keep things to a manageable level.

    I'm hearing the music from Jimmy Fallon's 'thank you notes' in the background when I read these :D

    That was so sweet I kinda want to adopt your shirt-dress-tunic thingy. :)
