My wardrobe has progressively shrunk in the last two years because I can’t seem to keep paint off my clothing. If you run into me lately you will invariably find paint on every article of clothing I am wearing. While one could see it as a fun game of where’s Waldo of paint sorts, I don’t know if this is exactly the image I want to portray. To preserve my shrinking wardrobe so I have something decent to wear I have two pairs of Paige “Laurel Canyon” jeans that I keep sequestered in my closet for fear that I will have absolutely nothing to wear in the “real world” when I am not schlepping the kids around in my paint splattered jeans. I’ve turned into a doppelganger of me and the clothes I choose set forth my day. Is it a paint splattered run into the market with a hat on my head day? Or am I meeting a teacher, seeing a girlfriend or am simply not stepping foot into my studio day? Well the wardrobe schizophrenia is over! One has to appreciate my excitement when I was perusing the newest catalog of one of my favorite designers “Free People” and saw they are selling the “Painted Skinny” for $265.00. It reminds me of the I Love Lucy episode where Lucy wants the designer dress and Ricky and Fred don’t want to pay the designer prices so they trick Ethyl and Lucy into thinking a burlap sack dress with a trash can hat was from the designer. They traipse through Paris in these get ups. Just like I traipse through Encinitas in mine. Love it!
