So an interesting thing has happened in my cupboard…. someone seems to have replaced my clothes with those of someone who is clearly not my size.
No I didn’t just pick up weight and now nothing fits (believe me I’ve been there) this is something entirely different. My clothes just don’t suit me.
I’ve been battling with weight gain after babies and diagnosis of IBS and also a liver problem, but through it all I’ve been managing to lose weight. Okay so it’s in drips and drabs with a long way to go, but hey I believe slow progress is better than no progress…
So now although more and more of my clothes “fit me” it just doesn’t look right. The shirt that used to skim my stomach now makes me look boxy, the skirt that showed off just the right amount of leg makes me look skanky and the jeans that were my “go to”, should now “go to” the bin…. you get the gist.
My clothes are like soldiers trained for the desert but then dropped off in Alaska…They “know what to do” but the conditions aren’t ideal!
It’s soooooo annoying, I love clothes, and dressing up and finding quirky combos but nothing seems to “work” at the moment…even my shoes don’t feel right…being pregnant for almost two years, meant I went for sensible shoes, which in the light of a non-pregnant day are actually just not cute.
I have come to find that the sensible heels make me look stocky while my legs are just no longer used to my sky skraper heels,it’s a lose lose I tell you.
I need a wardrobe redo! but then again I’m still on a “get in shape” mission so buying new clothes now would not be ideal.
Seriously, just ask all the “smaller pants” I bought that now look unfitting and unflattering. I’m not really another size smaller yet, just small enough to have no actual size to speak of, you know, big clothes too big, small clothes too small . . .
Guess it’s time I get back to the shops no use looking crap today in hopes of looking hot tomorrow….
Maaaaan I miss the days where getting dressed wasn’t such a mission and going shopping didn’t drive me to drink.
HAPPY MONDAY YOU ALL
