All of my life I’ve been an off-the-rack kind of a man, but now it’s time to reinvent myself. Custom tailored from the finest of fabrics is the way for me going forward.
Let me assure you that, as I initiate this transformation into the man I was always meant to be, I will be sure to keep you in the loop, so you can witness first hand my transition from lemons into lemonade.
Keep in mind that my goal was never not to appease my oppressors. It was, and still is, to rub salt in their wounds. I will metaphorically spray the doubters with the same malodorous cologne I could barely afford.
Indeed, I as I board the plane with the first class passengers, not economy, I will seek no rebate. I will ostentatiously parade in front of those who once derided me.
For I am no longer an off-the-rack kind of a man.
Written for these daily prompts: Fandango’s One Word Challenge (rack/rebate), Ragtag Daily Prompt (reinvent), Your Daily Word Prompt (assure/appease), Word of the Day Challenge (initiate/lemonade), My Vivid Blog (loop/mind), and The Daily Spur (spray/plane).
I find it interesting to note who has custom-tailored jackets and who has off-the-rack jackets and why they made these choices.

” I will metaphorically spray the doubters with the same malodorous cologne I could barely afford.” A fine line, Fandango!

Thanks, Annie. I was worried it might sound too contrived.

And there I was thinking you were a jeans and tee shift kind of guy.
