Uh-oh.
My clothes that I've had since college are beginning to wear out. By clothes, I mean the free shirts I got for being in nerd programs (including, but not limited to my "I am a Biohazard" T-shirt, and my "BURP--Biology Undergraduate Research Program" T-shirt). And by wear out, I mean they are one wash away from becoming a necklace.
So, I have a few choices.
a) I could go sign up for a bunch of credit cards and get more free t-shirts.
b) I could cut up the college shirts, make a quilt, and then wear the quilt.
c) I could buy larger clothes for my daughter(s) and share with them, because middle aged women look good in . . . High School Musical stuff.
d) I could take in my maternity clothes.
e) I could buy new clothes, but shopping for myself frustrates me. I usually end up looking like this.
I call this one, "Ellen Degeneres goes to Church"
Don't get me wrong, I like to try cute things on, but as soon as I do, I think, "This is not me."
I just need something that screams, "TOKEN ASIAN FRIEND."
Perfect.

My sister-in-law had this made for me. I would give you each one, but I don't think it would be a good idea for some of you to wear this shirt. Especially you blondes.
Love the t-shirt. I say go to the thrift store. I don't know what I'd do without my CRABWOMAN oversized t-shirt from Value Village...
I can't get over the Ellen Degeneres joke. So funny.
Personally I like the Ellen look. Especially the black skirt with white sneakers. That t-shirt is awesome, you should wear it every day.
Ha ha! I'm laughing at that Ellen joke too. Say, I'm not blonde...maybe I could wear that T-shirt. And I can totally relate to item e. Shopping frustrates me! So, I continue to wear the clothes I've had since before we were married and some even from high school. I may end up attending my 10 year high school reunion this fall in the same clothes I wore when I was in high school. Not good....not good, I tell you!
I actually have my middle school math team shirt that I still wear. That's got "Token Asian Friend" written all over it too, figuratively speaking.
I have no advice for you. At 5 months postpartum it's only my small amount of pride that keeps me from still wearing my maternity clothes, which still fit like a dream. (A bad dream.)
One of my friends offered to get me a t-shirt with "Token Mormon Friend" on it, 'cause I am.
Your blog makes my day - what that says about my day is a different story.
