So I'm wearing my new sweater today, getting some nice compliments, but my pants don't fit right so I don't feel as good as I could (waist/hips ok, but about 1" too short on the inseam). In fact, I have ONE pair of pants that fit comfortably AND look flattering, and they're jeans. I need pants. I also need new shirts for the office, all my golf shirts are at least 2 years old and starting to look bedraggled. I would like some skirts that are both comfortable and flattering, because Peter likes it when I wear skirts. :)
Basically, I want a whole new spring/summer wardrobe. However - not really in the budget, unless it's done Value-Village style and I have SO little patience in thrift shops. And I would really REALLY like NEW. But unfortunately the quick look I had at Wal-Mart last week shows that this year's "fashions" are totally not my style (or at least, not my comfort level). I don't wear cap sleeves because they make my upper arms look fat and I'm always cold in them. I don't wear Empire waist stuff because (IMO) that makes people look pregnant, and I definitely don't need that. I don't wear anything that shows my belly button. Basically, nothing new (that I can afford) is going to fit and flatter me.
That's my little gripe for the day. I like my new sweater (not love, as it too is about 1" too short for my comfort), but am pretty much on the point of hating every other piece of clothing I own. Someone send the money truck please?

I was completely entertained by the empire waist thing last year because I *was* pregnant. I completely avoided maternity wear until I was 6 months!
But yeah, I hope the world is over it this year.
