My knickers have holes in them and I still wear them.
There, I said it. I don't even care.
I mean, I cared a little bit when I had the back accident and went to hospital and everyone saw my holey undies. I was somewhat ashamed, but to be honest the pain was so distracting that I really only gave it a care factor of about 2. This, after years of my mum telling me that I would care very, very deeply if I was hit by a bus and everyone saw the state of my knickers. Fact is, you don't really care. Not at all.
I wear holey knickers because they are comfortable and because I can't be bothered buying the required amount of pants necessary to keep me hole-free for life. I also can't be bothered mending the holes because that would involve mending the holes.
As I write this I am also wearing holey pyjamas. These particular pyjamas (which are worn and comfy and soft) have a hole in a most inappropriate place were these pyjamas ever to be worn outside the house, which they will not be. Mind you, my husbie probably thinks the hole is very appropriate indeed but this is not that kind of blog (and frankly, these are not those kind of pyjamas).
Holey clothes. I own them, I wear them and I'm not even a little bit ashamed. Except that one time when The Badoo insisted on constantly sticking her baby finger into a hole in my t-shirt when I was presenting to 50 corporate women on work/life balance. That hole (which I foolishly thought was covered by my schmick suit jacket) seemed to mock every single thing I had to say about finding your balance and having your all. Every single thing.
But, fear not, I still wear that t-shirt three years later and it has more holes than ever before. Why, just last week I wore that shirt to do canteen duty at the school and didn't even blink when a kid said, "Are you putting that t-shirt into the bags for the Smith Family in the school hall?" Didn't even blink. I just smoothed that t-shirt down over my skirt with the bleach stains on it and kept serving up the sausage rolls.
So, there you have it. I am a Holey Clothes (and Bleachy Pants) Wearer and I'm proud...enough.... sort of... well, not exactly proud, but unapologetic. Yes, that's it. I'm an Unapologetic Holey, Bleachy Clothes Wearer.

Ha...I love this post!
I have two wardrobes...one for inside the house and one for outside the house...and of course sometimes my inside clothes sneak outside.
I actually wrote all about my inside outside theories...they are very similar to yours.

Yup, I am a holey clothes, paint splattered, bleached clothes wearer. I don't have time to care, although my husband seems to find it embarrassing. Poor thing. Only the other day he was saying to me "You're wearing the jacket with holes AGAIN!"
he he, chuckling inside at this one:)
own it baby!!!!
Yes Yes okay, I have undies with holes in them. And I'll even go so far as to say, when all mine are in the wash I wear my husbands. OH THE SHAME.
WE ARE TWINS.
Sort of. I might change my holey tshirt before I leave the house, but NOT the knickers!
heheee, you are funny!
maybe bonds should send you a years supply of underwear..that would be cool!
At the finish line on Sunday, Hubby went for a very public deck change - whipping out of his bag the worst bloody pair of undies he could possibly own.
My MIL was horrified and I was ashamed that they'd survived my culling!
No holey undies for me (or my boys if I can help it!) - sorry.
I admire your balls tho - he he.
:-) xx
A giggle in just before bed... Oh yes, and not just holey, but only managing to stay around my waist because the elastic is holding on for dear life. Then there's holey and covers my entire mid section. I love them all.
Ha ha! I have two pairs of holey undies, and I deliberately kept them to wear "post-baby", so I could just toss them, but I still haven't cause they are just too faithful and comfy!
I always figure bleach stains show you clean - even if your house always resembles a bomb site!
If only could see the state of the PJs I am in now..... and yep they make it out to the car when I need to get something out/put something in.
Worse still. I am not at all embarrassed when a young lad, who goes to my school, waves across the road and shouts "You alright Miss?"
I have a favourite pair of trackies. Which are my favourite because they are Nike and they don't look like trackies, more like comfy pant like things, but they have a hole in the knee. I only wear them around the house....okay, so I don't I occasionally wear them to school pick ups and the corner store *oh my what would those mothers think???* But they are my favourite! And my T-shirts all seem to get holes around the belt buckle too :/
I think that is why I connect with you! Hehe, yesterday I wore my fav pink cords with a few bleach marks on them. I do go out in public too with holey clothes, it appears to be from my belly rubbing along the kitchen bench as I cook and peg marks... or so I tell myself. Mr DCT LOVES his holey jocks! xx
holy moly yes!!!
I'm not averse to holey things - particularly socks- but my husband is so far the other way it's not funny. A thread unravels on a shirt and he has to throw it away - drives me crazy!
I am sitting here right now in bleachy clothes! :) But then I'm very unsympathetic towards my husband's love of holey underwear! Thats a bit hypocritical of me I am now starting to understand! I love this post!! :) It puts things in perspective! Who cares as long are you are happy and comfy!
no holey undies but i sat funny in my pj bottoms at the start of winter (my fave flannel pair) and ripped a hole majorly in the crotch - cannot be bothered to sew them up LOL and it annoys me every day (but obvoiusly not annoyed enough)
Serendipitous timing! My second favourite pair of jeans has now got a hole in the knee, which the boys just love playing with, and I was wondering today what I should do. The doctor doing my pre-employment medical this afternoon (because I FINALLY found a job!) made a few less-than-pleasant remarks about the hole which made me think about chucking them out. After seeing the picture above and reading this post I'm going to find myself a huge heart-shaped patch and fix it up.
My socks are so HOLEY. It kills me but clearly not as much as patching them or buying more... Don't get me started on bleach.. I frequently do the toilet cleaning in highly inappropriate clothes. I mean inappropriate for cleaning not inappropriate in general. Lots of black pants with red spots...
ha another awesomely funny post that could have been written about me - I have undies that are so old they probably have my maiden name in them and I don't care. If I got run down by a bus they'd be so choked by the state of my bikini line they wouldn't notice my tragic undies I am sure!!
Love these posts. x (sorry if I just WAY over-shared!)
I have some holey undies. In fact I only recently I got rid of some of he undies tat I bought for after Girl Childs entrance into the world via the sunroof. She turns 9 this month.
I also still wear Tshirts advertising a computer package released in 2003 (same Vintage as Girl Child). I think I should perhaps do something about my wardrobe but I've basically lived in jeans and Tshirts for the last 7 years. I have no idea where to start.
Holey socks and undies with dodgy elastic drive me nuts so they get tossed very quickly.
I have been trying to not wear my bleached or holey clothes out of the house, some days I even manage to do it. I am currently wearing a men's shirt with numerous holes in it and I think it's inside out. My pants are also too big and the string is tied into a knot so I cannot tighten them. If I don't pull them up every few steps they will fall down around my ankles. So yes I am with you. (I guess I could have just typed that!)
I am absolutely a holey clothes wearer. I sometimes consider trying to mend them but with my sewing skills it would no doubt looking worse than the holes.
I don't wear bleach stained clothes. Not because that's where a draw the line but because I don't ever bleach anything. Ever. Maybe I should be bleaching, something? x
Interesting pants design.
