Jules has this tendency to hoard on the basis of whim, which has been transferring to me a lot lately.

I now have a drawer dedicated to ‘Things I will likely never wear, but just had to have.’

In the story, it’s not uncommon for her to have the most random articles of clothing, some not even her size. She simply sees something, falls completely head over heels in lust with is (I swear, the brain interprets it as infatuation). When something’s not my size, and I’m in lust with it, I simply deal with the heartbreak, and go for some rebound item.

She, on the other hand, doesn’t. She needs to satisfy those whimsical appetites of hers, so even if she’s never going to use whatever it is she gets, she just says ‘…just in case’ or ‘who cares if it’s a size too big/small, next time I gain/lose weight, I’ll have something to wear!’.

In the context of the story, it benefits Sammy, because she has no excuse but to be Jules’ dress-up doll, and be dragged anywhere and everywhere, along with Cass and Jeff.

In my context, I have no idea how it translates, but she’ll be the one falling in lust with things, and making me get them against my better judgment.

Good lord, like the pair of black leather opera gloves, and the corset, and the bustier… and the vinyl skirt...and the cocktail cigarette holder. I mean, the stockings and the garter belts I constantly use with my dresses, and the skirt, I can pull off for clubbing, but black leather opera gloves?

Or the string of black pearls she was so set on making me get. I don’t even wear pearls (now I have to, since I have them).

She is a horrible influence.

Half the stuff falls into the category of ‘Things I’ve always wanted to have, but there’s no real use for them in my given context’.

It’s all caprice.

Still, I love playing dress up, and I’m a sucker for black sexy things.

Especially stockings. I have a real fetish for them.

And I finally replaced the black bra I oh so very amusingly lost. I have no idea what women smaller than I do to get clothes. It’s virtually impossible to find any sort of undergarment that fits my specific measurements (corset and bustier included!)— just one more statistic in the number of women with poorly fitted bras!
