An extra day
My hubby just informed me that we could arrive in GA a day early if I want to spend more time with my folks. That's very thoughtful of him!! SMILE Mother keeps calling me all day and night with little questions about this coming Christmas holiday celebration but there is not much that I can say to or do for her while I am still here in KY. I think she just really needs someone to talk to (vent).
Earlier today I began packing for our much needed holiday vacation and I've come to realize that it can be difficult to make complete and CUTE/SEXY outfits out of old clothes. I have a decent selection of comfy clothes but since I was never one to rock dresses and heels I don't have what I would like to make my ideal outfit. Being that I am currently a domestic engineer (LOL) I almost never shop for things because I have everything that I need. Perhaps not everything I would like but my needs are taken care of.
Thanks to my father I inherited his huge feet (wearing a size 11 or 12 depending on the shoe). Once you factor that into searching for sexy shoes the task is almost impossible. More can be found on-line but I like to try on shoes before getting them. I want some pointy toed heels to wear with dresses and jeans in some classic yet funky styles. I cringe though when I think of the added inches pointy toed shoes will add to my size 11s. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Next hurdle to defeat is my amply bust-line. After watching Oprah's special I am not sure what size bra I actually am. Over the years it's been 36 DDD or 38 DD but after a couple washes (always air dry) I wonder if these sizes are correct or if I need an F or ????? Cannot say I actually have even the slightest clue. I just don't want the straps to dig into my shoulders or the side of the cup wire to irritate my underarms and MOST OF ALL I need support and lift.
I don't care how wonderful folks think big breasts are these grown puppies are heavy. I am thankful for them and the fact that they are cancer free (never want to complain when breast cancer runs in the family).
So aside from being tall I also have to take into consideration the twins and the feet when shopping. Never knowing if I should find tops or shoes first since they are the most difficult to locate.
I wish I could go on What Not To Wear (a sista could use the help) Even if just the guidance. I'd probably tear up when splurging $$$ for just a few items but quality is key!!
Moving on past the minor pity party for one.....I found a few things that may work....not exactly what I wanted but it will do until later. Perhaps once working and after losing about 15 pounds I will treat myself to some staple pieces. It's a nice goal to set for myself!!
My hubby could care less, or so he says but hey I don't want to slack off and fall into too comfy of a comfort zone. I want his eyes on me so I have to WORK IT from time to time.
