Obsessed with altering my clothes

May 28th 2007 05:14
Am I alone in clothing alterationist “hopping”?
I am too embarrassed to go to the same alternationist more than one time in a week, so I go to about three different ones on a regular basis. Just to spread it around. To make sure they don’t think I’ve got an obsession with altering my clothes or anything. So, I can wear my clothes, free of tugging at them all day, and enjoy a tailor-made look as opposed to a too-long-skirt/too-baggy-top kind of look. Hello, I’m a perfectionist.
Then, there’s the shoe repair shops for the re-heeling of my boots and more. I frequent about four different ones of those too.

Yup and I’m silly enough to think I’m saving by getting my old clothes revamped and my old shoes re-heeled. At more than $20 a pop more often than not, who I am kidding?
Still, if I bought something new, I would just alter it anyway, so it really is a saving. Really. Please believe me.
You see, once you start on the alteration spiral, it’s an addiction you can’t stop.
The worst is when you alter something to fit, then try to sell it on eBay and think getting $5 back for something you spent $70 on and $30 altering, is a bargain. It’s a very confusing sort of mindset to get in.
Anyways, I won’t tell you about all the different snack bars and cafes I frequent in my lunch breaks from work… don’t want you to think I’m some sort of freak, obsessed with the same tuna mornay or tuna salad on a daily basis. And, I don’t want the staff to think that either… Wonder if there is a name for this ‘disloyalty shopping’ disorder? Who knows.
