This actually started about a year ago, but today I am reminded of the consequences of my own actions.
I was in the local thrift store and saw a kind of pretty shirt. It was black, with one shoulder, and a nice but tasteful zigzag across the front in glitter.
IN. GLITTER.
It's been a long while since I've encountered anything with glitter that I liked, so clearly with decades of separation I forgot what a terrible, terrible idea this really is. It was also only 75kr (about €10), so clearly the Devil spat in my eye when I was mesmerised by the sparkles.
I wore it shortly after to something. I don't even remember what or if it was anything fancy even. But when I took off my sweater, it came out looking FABULOUS. And I don't mean that in a 'yay!' kind of way. Glitter was everywhere.
I put the top back into my closet, thinking I would just use it for specific occasions, but then a few days later my son came to me and showed me his now FABULOUS Minecraft shirt. The glitter had clung to whatever else I was wearing that day and then was loosed into the laundry load. And the next. And the next.
When the seasonal wardrobe came around, the demon shirt was put away to hopefully be forgotten about. That was in September.
Fast forward to today, six months later. The weather is a bit better than the insane winter we've had, so I grabbed one of my workout tops that has been suffering from depression, being forgotten in my closet throughout the Dark Months.
And guess... WHAT.
Looks like the Ides of March came a little early for me, but at least I look spectacular?
TL; DR: Don't buy glittery anything. It will haunt you past your grave.
