The Hemmer

I went to the tailor (or as a former precious redneck student of mine once said ‘the hemmer’) yesterday to get THIS yellow jacket taken in FINALLY.

I’ve consigned or donated a lot of the my XL clothes, but I always loved this jacket. I remember when my mom bought it as a birthday gift for me in ’09 from Macy’s. I was too big for a large and I HATED the idea of getting a 1x. Somehow we managed to find an XL they had and bought it.

The jacket got too big on me very fast and I have rarely worn it despite, LOVING it. Since my new job is at a school whose colors are green and gold – I knew I had to finally get the jacket taken it so I can wear it to work. And yes I’m a school spirited nerd I don’t even care if you’re judging me about it.

The tailor said he’s need to create a new seam because it’d be a lot of material to remove! I’m pretty sure that if I bought the jacket today I could have fit the medium. 

I’m excited it get it back after LA – which I leave for in 1 WEEK! I’ll be sure to post pictures of me in my “new” jacket!
