sorting out clothing

[burntcopper]

Pre-con, having mostly packed (washbag, etc), I decided to go through my wardrobe of 'don't wear very much/costume bits', trying on for size and chucking them into 'still usable/ebay/oxfam/chaos costume scraps/BIN'. The 'still usable' pile includes Saffron (Our Mrs Reynolds), Nursie, Dale Arden, Buttercup's riding dress and a Gryffindor cheerleader uniform. Most of these went into the chaos pile because although they're wearable and fit, I'm never going to wear them again. Someone else can use the cloth. Other things found : 2 pairs of suede trousers, peasant shirts, leather trousers, smart black trousers still with tags A small pile of oxfam and a largish pile for ebay. I'll get round to it one day. gah.

Whilst doing a delicious search to see what people had been tagging/describing Putting the Natives at Ease (Narnia parents) with, I went through a couple of the stories in the same categories. And... wow. No wonder my stuff gets tagged dark. There were a couple of parents fics in there, and they're so... fluffy. Fairly keeping in tone with the books, but without the slight edge that comes from Lewis writing in the period.

This con, I'll be wearing a wig for the first time in ages that isn't the cabaret one. Fear me.
