Disturbing Practicality

Something has been troubling me lately.

I’ve seen a seismic shift in my attitude towards practical clothing. Usually, sequined heels, short dresses and impractical skirts leave me a wanton woman, eagerly whoring around my debit card from shop to shop.

However, lately I have become disturbingly sensible in my choices of clothing. For example, I have recently frequented the Mountain Warehouse to purchase zip off cargo pants in a lightweight, breathable, quick drying material (to make them seem more cool, I’m calling them adventure pants).
I’ve also purchased a water resistant, wind proof jacket. The last pair of shoes I tried on were waterproof walking boots with an awesome grip.

What has happened to me? I feel like a little part of me has died inside. Is this the first step on the road that will end up with me wearing tracksuit pants in public?

Heaven forbid such a day should come! Steps must be taken to immediately rectify my current situation. And I shall therefore be visiting H&M on my lunch break.

  1. Count yourself lucky that you can buy practical clothes! For men there's only a handful of clothes shops that sell normal, down to earth clothing. All the rest of it is junk made for the shoreditch hipster brigade like over-the-head cardigans with baggy necks, or shirts with hoods. Why does a shirt need a hood?? (Answer: It doesn't)
