Same Place, Different Day - May 31, 2014

So I went back to Fred Meyer's again today.  I is just the closest place with clothing and changing room to my home.  The clothing is affordable and the selection is adequate.   I admit that in really don't purchase clothes here, but I shop and spend my money here often.  I think that I am even in the same room that I went into yesterday.


So here I am wearing another stylish outfit.  This is thrift store top and some elastic waisted double knit shorts. Comfy, easy and no shape at all.  This tend to be my norm pretty much most of the time.

My twin sister is scheduled for bariatric surgery in two weeks time.  She has been directed by her medical team to be on a complete liquid diet.  There suggestion was for her to only drink 4 cartons of Boost a day until her surgery in mid June.  The reasons for this is that it will shrink the size of her liver and make the surgery safer.  I told her that I would support her and do the same diet with her.  

But on to the clothes.....  I pick a dress and separates.  I normally wear skirts quit often, so I am always attracted to them.



So this blue dress had this bubble pattern that i though was interesting.  I normally stay away from full pattern fabrics and i think that this dress proves that it is a good idea.  Man, was this about as old lady dress as I could find.  I really did think it look that way on the hanger, but putting it, I hated it.  The neckline and the sleeves were the worst.  The ruching maybe not that bad, but over all, YIKES.  (sorry for the blurry pic) 


So now for this skirt and cami.  Another yikes.  The cami was way more shear then I thought it would be so the second picture was taken with my thrift store shirt.  I would NOT wear that cami by itself.  It is definitely an undershirt.  The skirt was just meh.  Big, huge, monstrous waist band that would not roll, but for me would slip up to it sat under my boobs.  I really liked the color and the pattern on the shirt, but I think I grab a size too big for me.  This is not an outfit that I would wear, but was worth a try.

My first change. May 30, 2014


I am at Fred Meyers-Gresham and this is with is what I went into the changing room wearing. Yep, trailer trash.  The tank was from the thrift store, the stretchy blue cropped pants are from Kmart, and the shoes areWalmart 

 
I picked out a couple of dresses to try. Neither one of the was what I would consider being my fashion but what the hell. Might as well try something new
 
I was surprised by this first one. Made my small chest look slightly larger and would be comfortable to wear. It's problem is it is meant for a more endowed individual then myself. The color and pattern I like. 
 
This dress came as the bigger surprise. I really liked it and felt very comfortable in it. It was frilly and girly but also professional looking. Office wear but also something that would work for an event.
