Tenth look in mirror
Sigh, then back to the wardrobe
Wonder what to wear.

It’s a dilemma, especially at that age, but at any age, really. Wonder how to look like I wish I looked? Sigh.

How to look like you wish you looked? Easiest solution: change your wishes 🙂

Hmmm ~ have certainly experience that haiku ~ lovely ~thanks, namaste, ^_^

I’ve heard it’s a common phenomena–as with all things there’s a balance needed 🙂

A morning ritual in many homes. Like the picture that goes with your poem.

Yes, as is the fight over the bathroom 😉 Thank you!

Sad to say — but I can relate to this more than once in my life … Day 17 ~~ Answers
Apr 17, 2012 @ 22:40:06
Haha, that’s fine! No judgment here 🙂
Apr 17, 2012 @ 23:36:13
geeze we have all had days like this what a trial. Very cute for the prompt!
Apr 18, 2012 @ 08:54:19
Thanks! The sad part is when you try on ten different outfits and settle on the first one 😛

Sometimes it is more than 10 views… and then one turns to the same that was chosen in the first instance.. you ahve put it so well…

Haha, yup. I grew up with three sisters (no brothers). The worst was when we went shopping–hours waiting outside of dressing rooms only to discover that they didn’t like anything they tried on…which meant another shopping trip was in order. My mom was strategic the next time–she took us to the library first. Waiting with a book is a lot more bearable 🙂
