twit(s) of the day

• 23:06 Starbuck's hot chocolate leaves me feeling all stuffed and headachey. This is the 2nd time it's done this. Clearly, time to know better.
• 23:35 I am coming to the conclusion that it is impossible for an employed woman to have too many pairs of black pants.
• 23:43 Whilst looking for "Spaced" icons I discovered the existence of Hot Fuzz slash. I've seen some crazy stuff but that's just *wrong*.
• 10:28 Getting rid of ancient, decrepit content. Let me tell you, it's a *beautiful* thing...
• 10:56 There's no excuse for misspelling a page title when the correct spelling is *right there* in the page text. I mean, really...
• 13:31 Why does it smell like bleach in here?

what to/not to wear

Been editing and thinking about my wardrobe a lot of late. I'm getting rid of a lot of things that are the wrong size, fit, or are just plain worn out and am making a conscious effort to replace them with quality pieces and not just any old rubbish that keeps me covered. That, and new social situations (posher parties, weddings, etc.) means I need things I didn't think about before.

Stuff I won't wear at any cost:

• Orange - makes me look jaundiced
  
• Pastels - make me look washed out
  
• Turtlenecks - short waist + full bust = I look like my tits grow out of my waist :P
  
• Halter tops, spaghetti straps, strapless, or the like - see: full bust
  

Stuff I do wear and perhaps shouldn't, or at least not as often:

• Extremely worn out things (I have a pair of pajama bottoms that are starting to rip at the drawstring, but I can't let 'em go)
  
• Shapeless sweaters (but hey, it's winter!)
  
• The same pair of sweatpants over and over
  

Stuff I rarely wear but have just in case:

• Hose, nude and black
  
• Tights, black
  
• Black dresses in summer and winter weights
  
• Plain heels
  
• Body shaping/girdle thing (yes, I'm getting a bit soft 'round the middle)
  

Stuff I really ought to wear more often:

• Weird shoes
  
• Tailored jackets
  
• Tux shirts (inexplicably, I have 3)
  
• Skirts with boots
  

Stuff I need:

• Another pair of jeans
  
• Black and grey pants (on order; I'll see if they're keepers when they get here)
  
• A pair of dark street sneakers that support my arches
  

Stuff that's mostly out of reach:

• More Issey Miyake
  
• More Vivienne Westwood, especially the rocking horse boots, though affordable knockoffs may render this one reachable
  

What about you? What are your wardrobe do's, don'ts, don't do enough of, wannas?
