Nice words about Nordy's: the sweetest young woman assisted me today in the clothing department. This whole skinny pants + boxy jackets style does NOT do favors for my body-type. April looks like a chubbalubbahubbabubba. The young clerk discovered tons of clothing to fit MY curves.
For the first time, in a very long time, clothes shopping was a success. I walked out with 5 beautiful shirts in less than 1 hour! A VERY successful day wouldn't you say? Normally, I hate shopping. I dread it! I wear petites and have an inseam that would make you chuckle. Also, my weight fluctuates at the drop of a hat. One month I'm this size, the next month I'm two sizes up. Hypothryoidism is not an excuse, but the reality is, my body requires nothing to gain weight. My metabolism is backwards. It demands rigorous daily excercise to maintain a size 8-10. With the crazy flux of business I lost track of healthy priorities. Thankfully, now that weddings have made a crescendo, my gym membership will come in handy.
I HAD to do something. I mean, I was sick of wearing Ray's clothes. I dodged social gatherings, ones that I reallllly wanted to go to, because my wardrobe didn't fit. That's sad. With a few new shirts (thanks to a precious store clerk) I can get through this little phase, I'm so much happier. I thanked her profusely.
It can't be unhealthy to spend the occasional quality dollar on yourself. Not business. Not for the house. Just you. Feels great!
Tonight I'm washing Ray's sweatpants and putting them back in his drawer. For good.
