(IMO) Note to Self: No bleach on silk

Damn.

Potentially ground shaking, spirit lifting, life altering interview tomorrow... well, today. It's 4:15am.

In preparation for what is definitely going to be a tough morning, I tried to lay out the perfect interview outfit prior to introducing head to pillow.

PERFECT item: Vintage sheer silk cream blouse, never been worn - by me at least. But obviously I've been procrastinating, and neglected to remove the small mascara stain that I got on it the last time I tried to pull it on while simultaneously doing my make-up in preparation for a show at the tents... during NY Fashion Week...in February...over two months ago...damn.

NOT so perfect solution: I figured a small, diluted pass with bleach (the only thing under my sink) would remove the stain with out damaging the garment. I knew it was wrong before I did it, I knew it was wrong while I was doing it, and I definitely knew it was wrong after I did it. Damn.


To tired to decide what's worse: a small black mascara stain, or a larger, more opaque bleach stain...and can I still wear it?

UPDATE: Wore the shirt, looked terrific, blew the interview anyways... *long sigh*

  1. If it's just at the end of the tie, you could always take it up a couple inches and add a seam.

    Regardless, It is of no surprise that you aced the interview. Pray tell, who wouldn't be blown away by Virginia?!?

    That's what I thought... no one.
