Greetings from Northwest Ohio!
This is my first post and I am very excited to have embarked upon this project, and at the perfect time. I am one of those who agonizes over what to wear to special events, and this month will be full of them. It’s ironic that I get so distraught over dressing up for events, because I don’t have that many clothes, and dress fairly simply. I think part of the apprehension stems from the fact that I’m a graphic designer. I feel a pressure that my clothes should reflect my design sensibilities.
I actually have the first of many holiday events tonight, and honestly, if I hadn’t started the GAAD, I would probably be out shopping this afternoon with my one year old. Can I describe how much fun that would be? I would be searching the racks with half an eye for a few things to try on (before the baby got too fussy… he’s not a shopper) and then I would have to quickly try them on in the fitting room (and inevitably, I wouldn’t like what I’m trying on) and that cycle would continue until the baby gets too upset and forces an ending… deflated I’d leave empty, or I’d purchase something (anything) that I think would work well enough for the event (and 50% of the time, when I got it home, I wouldn’t like it and would maybe never wear it again… which I can’t afford).
Instead, this afternoon Ethan & I will find a much better way to spend our time. A benefit already.
Oh, and what am I wearing tonight? Grey dress pants, black cowelneck A-line sweater & a flower pin that was made by my great aunt.

Great read. I also think it could be a bit longer
