Timing. Timing is funny. Not really a New Year's resolution, but I do think it's time to start investing in myself again. That I'm worth investing in myself ( Read more... )

this is is my life

The beautiful thing about working at a place with a tailor shop? Buy those baggy shirts and we can have them taken in. It's amazing!

Find a shirt you like? Buy every damn color of it! Two of every color if you want.

You got this!

You need to do whatever makes you happy, but I will say that I really adore your dress style and it's something I kind of wanted Megan to dress more like. The long flowy skirts are really cute and adorable.

But again, you're trying to make you happy, not me and frankly, whatever makes you happy makes me happy too.

I also wish I could get confident too.

Brava! A lot of these ring very true for me. I still can't bring myself to buy new clothes (I'm a dedicated thrift shopper), but I have to be constantly encouraged and supported to do stuff for myself (heavily tied into self-esteem issues and....yeah).

I buy large button down blouses and take them in. Huge shoulders, yanno. Darts are nice and easy, though.

honestly, need to go looking into a bodice from a quincinera dressmaker. They should be able to handle a everyday undergarment. I'm up to size I42 now -.- not happy with that but can handle it.

If you can go get shirts tailored, I can bother to treat my bad back well.

We BOTH are worth it.

We both are definitely worth it. ^__^

Last I was checked, I'm Warhammer, 40K. Thankfully there's a good store up in Phoenix where I get fit, there's no one in Tucson.

*hugs* You are very worth time, and money, and spoiling, hon. :)

((Snuggles)) Thank you!

Am looking at going back and visiting New Zealand and/or Australia in 2016, BTW. I still have your housekey. ~_^

*snerk* Well, it's Christy's housekey now - she and Paul bought the house from me when I married Yuri. We'd love to have you stay again! ;)

Dunno if they have this in the States but I hear PepperBerry are a clothes store that cater for busty clients... Though I dunno if they'd be ideal. I just use their sister store for bras. Didn't know a wired bra could actually fit good before going there.

Was thinking that it had been a long while since I saw you post on LJ. *hugs* Unemployment is a seriously evil thing.

Things here this side of the pond are good. Lots of strong winds, but life is happy. Currently trying to plan a trip to NZ for in October. Never done something quite this big before, so is interesting. :3
