eGo

Posted on by Reena Saxena

I wonder if a thief lives here.

One of my tees hangs on the rack, but I’ve never been here before, and it doesn’t look like a laundry either.

A closer look reveals it is two sizes smaller than I wear and looks famished without my ego bloating it up.

My tee was not a limited edition piece created by a designer.  Anybody can get hold of something as commonplace as that.

Yet, I turn back. I don’t want to see someone else wearing it – someone who is not as unique and deserving as I am to embellish a garment.

  1. When I was a teenager if someone wore the same thing as me I would never wear it again! I wanted so much to be different and a fashion designer, neither of which ever really happened. This story jogged my memory of that. I wasn’t as vain as thinking I wore it better, but it’s still something only teenage me would care about.

  4. Well at least she knows herself and she’s consistent. Nothing worse than seeing someone else wearing your favorite shirt though. She’s not alone thinking that would be horrible.
