I would like to start this off on a bright note. I am pretty sure that I am finally starting to lose my neck fat. My arms are also slimming down and if I really wanted to brag I would point out that I was on pace for my run for like the first time in weeks.
I am really excited about the progress that I am making. I am even more excited to report that I will be going out with Husband this weekend. You heard me right. I will be going on a date with my hubby on a Saturday night like we used to before having 2 kids and 4 jobs. I am super excited with the exception of one small problem.
I now have nothing to wear for a night out. Back when I was pregnant, I put all of my cute "going out" shirts in a box because I did not want to see them. When you are rocking 50 extra pounds, can't see your feet, and are being used as temporary housing, the last thing you want to see is cute shirt that you can't fit. So, I packed them up and put them away for a day when I would once again enter the world of people who hang out.
I, finally, after months of procrastination cleaned and organized my closet. I got rid of so many things that I had been holding onto unecessarily. The one thing I did not see while I was cleaning up was my box of cute shirts. It seems that Husband may have given them to charity. I am now without a single "hot girl" shirt and I don't want to go out looking like someone's mom. As it stands, my best outfit choices are either cute mom or good employee on Casual Friday. The runners-up are church member and grad student. Neither one of these categories screams, "Look how hot I am after having two kids!" I am not even sure they say, "I am really happy to be out with my man for the first time in over a year."
I have been trying to be more fiscally responsible and not shop as much, but desperate times call for desperate measures and I think this is one of those times. The new question is where should I go? I am too old to shop in one of those stores where you know you only get between 1 and 3 wears and I don't get out enough to invest in something really nice with a price point that will force me to wear it everytime we go out. I stopped shopping at Guess when I quit being a fluzzy. I hate Macy's because it is so crowded and cluttered and the employees are too busy stealing to be of any asssistance. Also, the last time I went to Macy's the restrooms were so filthy that the cleaning woman was wearing a mask to clean the restroom (They did not pay her enough.) and I could not bear the thought of the air in there touching my skin. I just got a new car, which for me means, designer labels are not practical right now.
So, what is between Forever 21 and Ann Taylor? Target? Sears? Do they even still sell clothes at Sears or are they strictly appliances now?
Has it been that long since I bought clothes? My wardrobe needs a jolt of sex appeal. Where do hot moms shop? I feel so out of the loop.
Can I Google that?
