Today it is two weeks since my Wife and 3 yr old boy left me.
Last week (Friday 13th), i almost got my ears and/or belly pierced, but funding was bad at the time.
Anyway, today i went to Target and decided I was going to be brave and try on clothes in-store for the first time! All the threads of you girls trying on clothes in-store gave me the confidence - not mention i'm leaving town soon, so the shop assistants won't see me again probably.
I tried on a jacket, skirt, pants, jeans, three blouses/shirts and three tops. I discovered that for my bottoms, i'm only a size 16! I was sure i'd struggle into 18's! But for the tops, size 18 is a tight fit! I would be more comfortable in size 20's, but the slim fit changes in a generous fit when going from a 18 to a 20. Also the range and styles is considerably less in the larger size. Damn my large upper body!
Is it worth wearing a shirt/top if its a real close fit?
But in the end, I bought a pair of black pants and a red top with black pipe trim on the sleeves and hem. Haven't had an outfit for ages! Actually, I should go and put them on! i'll be back shortly!
