Not Recommended

March 8, 2013, while leaving a movie at Ronnie's Cinema in St. Louis County, MO.  I saw purple mass huddled near a curb in the parking lot.  I approached cautiously as I was really afraid there was a baby wrapped up in there. Something about the way it laying there made me nervous.

I got close enough to see that there was no living thing inside. In fact, it was just this mysterious coat.

This part is NOT RECOMMENDED:

Trying on found clothing may seem fun sometimes, but can be kind of disgusting.
Whatever you do, do not reach into the pockets.

Submit Your Own

Yesterday I received a Snapchat from a friend. It was a picture of a wadded up bra in what appeared to be a meadow. It would have been a perfect example of found clothing for a blog like this one. Unfortunately, the inherent nature and purpose of Snapchat prevented me from saving the pic and uploading it.

Let's not have this happen again. If you find some clothing, please submit photos by emailing them to ifoundclothing@gmail.com and I will upload the pics as soon as I can.

What Color Was This Shirt?

I don't know what color this shirt started out as, but I love how over time it has changed to match its background. I almost didn't even notice this chameleon button-up. It wasn't till I got up close that I realized what it was.



This pic was taken in May 2013 on Winnebago St. in St. Louis, MO.

What is this?

I couldn't tell what this was, so I just took a picture. Shoot first, ask questions later.

Is it a shirt? A jacket?  The way it's all balled up like that it might not even be clothing. Enjoy speculating.

 

This mystery item was photographed in St. Louis, MO, in the middle of the road, right in front in front of the South Grand Taco Bell. (March 4, 2013)

South City Touque

It looks like it got a little too warm for someone in South St. Louis this afternoon. I found this touque by the parking lot of my work place, at the intersection of Grand and Winnebago. This is the first time I've ever uploaded a pic to the blog the same day I took it. I didn't touch it. This is where it was when I found it.

Work Shoes

For the past week, I've seen the same three shoes on my way to work. They haven't moved at all. I would have expected one of them to get snatched up or thrown away by someone. I thought a passing car would push them off the road, or maybe a local dog might carry one away. But nope, every day, same shoes, same locations. They are spaced out far enough from each other that I don't think they are all from the same person.

I haven't gotten close enough to them to see whether they are all for the same foot, or even the same size. The first is a white sneaker; the second is a little bit dressier number (pictured below); and the third is a light blue flip-flop.

So far, I've only been able to snag a photo of one shoe, but all three were seen on my way to work in St. Louis, MO. The first one is on Gravois, near the intersection with Meramec. The second is at the stoplight for the intersection of Gravois and Chippewa. The third is on Chippewa, a couple of blocks from the intersection with Grand.

Do you think anyone's missing these shoes? If I lost a shoe, my first instinct would be to retrace my steps until I found it...but without the shoe I probably wouldn't get very far.
