The "Out-Outfit" Struggle

classic. inevitable. my morning struggle.

clothes piled high like a fabric mountain on the bed,

tags, hangers, last week’s laundry,

a literal museum of decisions i once thought were cute.

yet here i stand in my towel, hands on hips,

staring into the void of an overstuffed wardrobe

and declaring total, absolute bankruptcy.

too casual, too try-hard, too uncomfortable,

this top makes me look like a Victorian orphan,

i try on six different variations of black tops,

discarding them onto the floor like tragic, failed experiments.

fifteen minutes late, running on sheer panic,

i default to the exact same jeans and baby tee

i’ve worn every weekend since 2023.

classic. iconic. inevitable.
