I bought a skirt yesterday -- bright kelly green, knee length, a-line, cord -- and when I went to get dressed this morning, I discovered that it doesn't go with anything I own. And this is from someone who likes dramatically contrasting colours. I found one purple shirt that looked pretty good, but was way too short (like all my shirts these days -- what happened?). I finally grabbed a black shirt that at least wasn't entirely too wrong...except that it's too short, too. I'm fine as long as I stand still, but moving is rather precarious. Also, just now I got yogurt on it.

Sigh.

(The reason I was shopping yesterday was because I needed underwear. Because I have none that's clean. And every time I attempt to do laundry the machines are busy. YARRRGH.)

(Completely off topic: Yesterday my co-worker treated us to a stirring rendition of the first telephone call ("Mr. Watson, come here; I want you!") and then declared that Bell and Watson were totally sleeping together. And probably in a threesome with Fessenden. He's definitely a secret slasher.)

Oh, how sad! I also couldn't believe you have nothing to go with a bright green skirt, but when you got into the ballet of the too-short shirts I realized I've totally been there. In FACT I was there just last night. :p

I feel like I should rearrange every thing by length of shirt, so that I don't go through this EVERY MORNING.

That's not a bad plan! Because I tend to think about other shirt attributes before length: colour, fabric, neckline, stuff like that. It's only when I put them on that I notice length. If you had a special pile of "long enough to wear with low-rise stuff" shirts you'd be much happier!
