an ode to the abandoned clothing

I would like to take a moment of silence for the clothing that has been left behind.

Yes mother. It took me less then a week...

1 pair of black lulu lemons (seriously, try wearing that material in this heat... I dare ya)
1 pair of black yoga shorts (see above)
2 sweaters, 1 black 1 gray (an absurd choice to bring)
1 green shirt (sigh... This I loved, but I bought something new that looks similar)
1 purple shirt (if you don't wear it at home, don't bring it)
1 pair of beige knee length shorts (see above)
1 blue sports bra (didn't even wear it... 4 bras is overkill)
2 travel towels, 1 large 1 small (I brought three. Three! I kept the medium sized one and will use a sarong to dry off)
1 white scarf (covered in bedbug stains... bad memories)
1 blue tshirt (just making space)
1 brown tank top (see above)


Happily this has been replaced with many dresses and other new clothes. So, nope... My backpack is not any lighter, I just had to make room for the new stuff. Clearly this list of abandoned belongings must grow.  My backpack is bigger than me!! This can't be good...

I suppose I will have to leave a trail of abandoned Canadian clothing and luxuries from Bali to Bangkok...

  1. You know what I think when I read this? Mine! That clothing could have been *mine*! Of course, I am still trying to figure out how to use the rest of your clothing... But I will! I even invited a friend over to help me figure out what goes together. See, you spent Jr. High trying to dress like me, and now I am trying to figure out how to dress like you. It's the circle of life!
