Changing your "look"...

Have to agree with Laura, there, Mary -- that is awesome!

I dunno WHAT is up with me lately..but I'm suddenly into BAGS of all things! Like shoulder bags, tote bags, etc...and funky ones! I think it has to do with not necessarily trying to be so invisible anymore. I'm convinced it's all a huge psychological trip. I'm enjoying it though!

Bags were the only fashionable thing I could do until fairly recently.  I have huge feet and an old untreated orthopaedic injury, so no nice shoes for me, really (though my feet are now getting noticeable smaller, and I have discovered Zappos!). 

Yes, enjoy it!  :)

Clothes are evil. They make me hyperventilate and run out of the store screaming.

That said, I'm slowly working through my hatred/fear of clothes. I almost bought a pair of beige pants that I really need for a work thing. I tried on a pair of 10's and they fit, but were a touch tight (you can still set a table on my ass) but the 12's were baggy. Well then I got frustrated. I scared the woman next to me out of the dressing room because I think I might have been cussing and talking to myself a little too much.

So I left with one shirt.

**** at least I had something.

I already signed my 17 year old SIL and 14 year old niece up to help me pick out clothes when I get to goal.  They are going to be my fashion "advisors". LOL.  There really only is one style at Avenue and LB.  So I'm looking forward to getting out of my comfort zone a bit :)
