The Story Before the Bathroom Reveal
Y'all, it has been a ride. Why are all of our renos involving trades always held up? Now I could understand the kitchen reno which began March 16, 2020 which is the week all hell broke loose. The kitchen wasn't finished until July that year and it really had nothing to do with the pandemic. There were quality control issues with two doors and if you think I was settling for lint sealed under clear coat and the same two holes caused by an industrial stapler on three remakes of a door, you're nuts. We actually redid our bathroom in 2022. Do you remember? Probably not because I hated it so much I never did a reveal! The deep ocean blue was a pain in my ample ass and for almost three years because it never stopped running. We had white chair railing and water from drying our hands or showers constantly dripped blue and would pool on top of the white railing sending me into fits on the daily. Because we'd gone through three different blue...
I enjoyed wearing my teal Converse high tops with rolled jeans and baggie men's Irish wool sweater on a regular basis, along with the ridiculous purple hair that I shaved on one side and wore long on the other side. It was all goofy looking but I smile when I think back on those times.
ReplyDeleteI owned my "Miami Vice" outfit complete with white jacket and bleached hair back in the day. Oh, and Jams shorts! I loved my Jams.
ReplyDeleteI had an undercut (the under layers of my hair shaved). I laughed when my niece did the same thing and thought she was such a rebel. I also still love my army surplus and Doc Marten boots. I wish I never donated my Doc Martens. They were very comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI loved the 80s, I don't regret a thing!
ReplyDeleteI did try to start a fb movement of 80s selfies at the beginning of the covid but couldn't get my hair to comply.
Rock on 80s!
I regret that my hair doesn't "do" big. There isn't enough product in the world, and ratting it out to build height just looks like a ratted mess. I was always jealous of the girls with big hair. I cut one side very short (mom wouldn't let me shave it, I went as short as she would allow) and wore the other side long. I regret that I had such low confidence in my body at a time when I was actually very fit - I wish that I had worn some of the more "risque" fashions that I didn't think I could pull off but looking back I totally could have.
ReplyDeleteI had snarky pins all over my letter jacket and they were amazing. I just recently gave my jean jacket from those days to a friend's daughter, I hope she gets as much joy out of it as I did.
