Wardrobe malfunction!

Tweet

I don’t know about Janet Jackson, but in my book this is what I would call a ‘wardrobe malfunction’. As I’ve mentioned on here before, I have a lot of clothes. Many I just love and keep hanging onto in the hope of having another occasion to wear them. Some I made myself and consequently can’t quite bear to get rid of. A lot I inherited from my Mum who had lots of lovely things. Others just because I really hate shopping and if an out-of-the-ordinary event comes up, like a wedding, funeral, a big party, a job interview or being invited to give a talk for example, I know I can go to the wardrobe and find something to suit, and won’t have to waste my time trawling the High Street shops or the internet. Some I’m even keeping because I think my daughters might like them when they’ve grown a bit more! The problem was that with stuff everywhere, in drawers, on shelves and even in boxes, it was hard to really see what was available, so I thought I would get everything together in one place where I could easily see what was what and decide if I really needed it all, or if I could give away or recycle some things. Our new house has a nice built-in wardrobe in one room, so I thought I’d hang it all up. Unfortunately it turned out that the rail wasn’t quite up to this job – it just snapped clean in two! So I’ve been out and bought a dowel rod and replaced the rail with a thicker one and added a support in the middle, made from one of the pieces of wood I’ve been saving up ‘in case they come in handy’, and so far it all looks good and sturdy. Now I just need more time to try things on! All rights reserved. © Text and image copyright Fleur 2017.
