Shopping Round 1
I hadn't been shopping for a loooooooong time.
I didn't have almost any summer clothes, so tonight I started my quest for flattering clothes. It takes me forever to find anything because my middle is so wide then my sholders and hips and butt are fairly small...
I managed to find a few good starters especially for the trip but they're a bit on the nicer side and not really clothes I can wear to work without wrecking them (one thing I hate about my job).
My favourite item is a fitted vest, black. I'm going to pair it with a long white shirt or tank top. It looks really good with the skinny pants well shorts I have and super comfy!
I also bought a bathing suit! EEK! The hotel has a pool and it's going to be so hot in Rome, so I don't want to not have the option to swim if I feel like it. Sadly Ronny can't swim due to his skin condition (exzema) so I'll be doing that solo.
I bought 2 skirts, 1 a simple A line black one, super thin, cheap, and an army-esk one. Basic army green pencil. So those I can pair with a lot. And wear to work too.
Hmmmm I can't remember the rest at the moment. Nothing too important though. Maybe that was it. There's this cute plaid shirt I bought, but now that I wear it at home, it doesn't flatter so well, so I may return it or exchange or in store credit it.
Tomorrow I think I'm going to head to the better thrift store in town and hunt for some goodies, especially work goodies. Also, i am going to try to find these before I go away:

They're perfect for everything. Fancy enough if need be, not too sporty, good support. They're expensive but I will wear them a lot.
So yeah. First day, exhausted, but made some good progress without spending too too much.
