Little things ..

[Christen]

Funny how little things affect you. Finally got to properly try on a long top I bought recently. At last I've got a top with sleeves long enough for my rather lengthy arms. I'm so happy!! :D Pathetic, isn't it.

Christen, I do find some humor in the fact that I tke pride in putting an outfit together when as a guy, I should not. I gave up trying to figure myself out a long time ago.

Christen,
Not really, there is a song I remember....
"Little things mean a lot."

[LenGray]

Not at all :) I bought a suit yesterday and it's hanging proudly by my bed, waiting for my dad to wake up so he can take pictures of me in it ^_^ I'm so excited that I actually ironed! *gasp* lol

Big things are just a series of memorable small things smoothed together!

hard to find long sleeve tops for me also 37 inch sleeves

Christen,

Being happy about a good thing for you, however small or insignificant it may seem, is never pathetic. :)

More than that, making yourself happy and sharing that joy is a BIG thing, that many find difficult...

Have a happy, lengthy arm day! :cheer:

It's these small things and sensations about fashion, make-up, heels.. and actually other small achievements that makes you feel like it's all worth it.

So no, not pathetic at all! :)

The little thing that affects me the most is the random act of kindness that a complete stranger shows me. I think back just a few days when I was new to this site, and I am so touched by the nice words and supportive messages I've received. My new friendships with my sisters on this site are very important to me.

Pathetic ? Not at all. Don't forget these clothes aren't designed for us girls with special needs :)

[DeeDeeB]

Where is that big and tall girls shop anyway (6' 6" in heels myself). Nothing pathetic about a great find. Enjoy.

Yea sizing can be a tuffy...but it IS good when things come together like that! Now if I could just get the turtleneck I want to fit perfectly ........

[Christen]

What is it with Turtlenecks? Oh yeah, I want to look like Audrey Hepburn when she wore them.

[Barbara Maria]

Nothing pathetic about that.Little things mean alot.I get a happy feeling when I notice lipstick prints on my coffee cup.

[Diane Smith]

This is no small thing! I've bought a lot of clothes over the years with sleeves that are too short, even though they fit well otherwise. Only fairly recently have I found some stores whose sizing reliably includes sleeves that really fit, and I go out of my way to patronize them.

I like cap sleeves, so my underarms show!!!

[Tina B.]

I use to have that same problem, I love long sleeves but trying to find them that fit was impossible. But a funny thing happened while getting old, I started putting on weight, and for some reason the bigger around you are, the longer they seem to think your arms are. Now I'm wearing a 1X and I can buy long sleeves right off the rack and they fit great.

[Barbie Anne]

Yes I'm pretty tall and find that even the tall sizes that fit well are sometimes too short. Maybe I could request 12-14 TTT? don't see it happening though :)

[TeresaCD]

:D Pathetic, isn't it.

Nah, not at all.
I get upset now when I break a nail, and I work in construction, and on cars and motorbikes.
Comes with the territory I think :)

Hey Christen,

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being happy over little things. Sometimes it's the little things in life that give us the greatest warmth in our spirit.

I love turtlenecks but unfortunately I'm more Steve Jobs (RIP) than Audrey Hepburn (RIP)

[Jaymees22]

Little things always add up to big things, like your total look, so it's not pathetic at all. Turtle necks and scarfs are good because they hide are Adams apples so we can look like Eves..Hugs Jaymee

[CynthiaD]

I love turtlenecks. Every time I put one on I'm reminded of a picture I once saw of Raquel Welch wearing a white sleeveless turtleneck. She looked fabulous.

Well, a girl can dream can't she?

[lovetobedani]

Not at all. Sometimes the most simple things bring us the most pleasure.

[suchacutie]

I think that it's vital for us to revel in each small victory. It's "bringing your party with you where ever you go!"
