TTC after 35

Wish I was more stylish in my clothes :(

I HATE shopping anymore. I use to love to get dressed up and now I barely have anything fun/cool to wear when going out. I'm a nanny so my work clothes are on the comfy side. When I go line dancing that's easy...cowboy boots,jeans,and flowy top!

Guess my problem is I need to lose a few pounds so I hate everything on me. Everything aways look good on the mannequins in the store! So of course I wait until last night to try on my black pants that I need to wear this sat for dinner and guess what...kinda tight. Ughhhhh!! So maybe if I don't eat for 2 days I can fit into them :)

Anyone else hate clothes? Oh and my shoe collection sucks too. I really need to get with it for summer.

ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014

  • If it makes you feel better, I've taken to buying maternity tops because they fit so much better than the stuff they are selling in the regular section. I have broad shoulders, DDs, muscles, and some extra fat-- why would they make only heavy cable-knit tops with huge bulky collars for someone my size?!? I look like a huge sheep!

    So I started buying my tops in the maternity section because the thin knits still drape nicely under my boobs so people can actually see that I have a waist. 

    But pants? Ick!  Forget about it. I am just lucky that I wear scrubs to work!
