Really? Well, today I went shopping for our outfits for our annual Christmas card picture, I guess you would call it...I already have Baileys' dress as a starting point..building off of that...I am determined this year I will NOT wear a turtleneck, ribbed sweater...and I want to look somewhat hip...and let me tell you, that is a tall order...I used to think I was pretty hip, but lately have began drowning in dowdiness...and it's all related to how I feel about myself right now...I feel so dang BORING! I try to mix it up with some bright colors and all,but when I go shopping, everything is drab and earth tones..where is the color this season people? And it's hard to fit a 5 ft body to look hip..in my mind, I want to wear stiletto heels as everyday wear with jeans and a funky top, but my feet hurt in those sort of shoes after about 30 minutes...and then the times I think I look cool, I will later see a picture and be mortified..what the heck was I thinking? lol..my picture in my head never matches reality..and that my friends. STINKS...! I ALWAYS feel fat and always pick out the crap I don't like about my body...I can't get past it...so what am I trying to say? I don't know, totally rambing , but so many of the outfits I pin on Pinterest are dreams of how I want to dress and look...sigh...lost cause, I guess...
These outfits are totally ME...I guess if my thighs were as small as the jeans above, I would be well on my way...lol..so discouraging..bear with me as I drown in my own self pity ....bleh. I'm getting on my own nerves...
I need an intervention....do other Moms feel like this? I go into stores and instantly feel frozen..I pretty much know that most of the jeans are not going to fit...I only have certain brands that fit this body...and then shirts? They are SO long and narrow? Those don't fit either..do you see where I'm going here? I need Stacey and Clinton to come in and find what I need to wear..dude, they could do whatever they want..clothing, hair, makeup...no ties here...
Did anyone watch this week's Parenthood? My goodness, I cry at the end of pretty much every episode, but the scene where Kristina is upstairs and Adam comes up and finds her upstairs....mercy..that scene got me...
My mom also feels the same way… Parents also have insecurities, especially with regards to their fashion sense. Some feel fat because they can't seem to adjust or accept the changes in their body. I hope you have already found the fashion style that best fits you. ;)
