dressing room cry !

I HATE to shop for clothes,,,,, ,dreaded going out today and put if off until the last minute.

Had to make a few basic purchases because the " baggie " look went out a while back.

Reluctantly grabbed a few thing and brushed off the hot 20 something year old that wanted to help me shop----never happening.

Went in to the dressing room, not facing the mirror as usual, tried on the clothes......turned around and cried !

I looked normal. Normal clothes, no t-shirt to hide behind, no baggie clothes....they fit and fit well. I didn't stick out...I fit in again. Its been awhile.

I may go back tomorrow.......

WOW!~ wonderful for you! 

Awesome! Go you!

YAY! WHOO HOO! Party time, party time, got to buy some clothes and shine!!

And let that young thing do the stylist thing for you!

I went into WHBM for ONE item, but I had to try it on and then I got way laid looking at something else I loved. When I got to the dressing room she had put together about a dozen looks for me. I did not really have interest in them, but tried them on and low and behold...looked AWESOME in many of them. And not ONE of them would I have tried on if she'd not put them in there. And I'm 47, so it's not like I'm a youngster. :)

Now I request a stylist session before I even head in to certain stores and my wardrobe has expanded tremendously in the way I dress as much as anything. Still my classic self, but updated in a chic and fresh way! Give it a try! :)

How awesome!

I walked around the women's section of a store yesterday and kind of said "Good Bye" and "Thanks for being there for me". It sounds so stupid, but something just really hit me.

I'm a size 10 now and I still automatically head for the women's plus size section at Macy's . 

That is so awesome!1  I cried in the middle of the store the first time I tried on a shirt without a W after the size, got a few funny looks, but didn't care :)  Congrats!

 

It is so satisfying being able to buy clothes you like not just because they fit. It actually becomes fun instead of the dreaded large size stores. Unfortunately I think my cross addiction has become clothes shopping.

I know for a fact it has for me. I am spending thousands and thousands on new clothes and jewelry and accessories and running gear and clothes and jewelry...well, you get the idea, lol. 

Jewelry definitely sounds like a cross-addiction, since all of my funky little necklaces fit the same no matter what I weigh
