Forever 29

I'm so over my wardrobe I can hardly stand it. Currently I refuse to buy anything new due to being the over achiever that I am and trying to lose weight. Jokes, I barely achieve much less over achieve. Anyhow, as I was getting ready this morning for 2 new client meetings I went to the same old song and dance outfit. Repeat offender, party of 1. I wear the same crap all the time. Right now especially as I'm back in my Big Mama clothes. Last summer was awesome as I was on the Divorce Diet (touch on that later) and I dropped down to 127 lbs. WTF?! Train wreck on the inside; skinny jean wearing fool on the outside. It was awesome - in a really pathetic kind of way.

{ain't happenin' hot stuff}

Anyhow, one day recently I had a mental breakdown and almost set my closet on fire but felt that might be a little too dramatic. Instead I went to the mall to shop for some new duds to get me through this "I hate everything I have" phase. I dropped a good amount of dough and guess what? I hate everything again. I must have been in a terrible mood as everything I purchased shows it. Let's be real though. There are not really any great, reasonably priced stores that cater to the 30 something crowd. It's either try to fit into an XL from Charlotte Russe or Forever 21 and sport the muffin top or shop at f'ing Lerner and sport the camel toe. Sorry to be gross but it's true. Of course I would love to shop at Bebe but unfortunately I do have a conscious and would rather spend the money on extra curriculars for my kids than drop a hundy or 2 on a sophisticated yet slutty top.

My take on what's available:

Charlotte Russe/Forever 21 "Hello mam, are you looking for something for your daughter?"

Target "If I only looked good in a potato sack"

Ross/TJ Max "Isn't the seam supposed to run down the side? Not diagonal across the front?"

Macy's/Dillard's "Quality name, shit clothes"

H&M - truthfully, I've never been. It scares me.

I pledge for someone, please anyone to invest and open a Forever 29. Provide jeans that don't fall just above the pubic (ew) area or above the belly button. COME ON! Lee Jeans are OUT! (Pretty sure they were never in.) My mom sported Jordache Jeans in the 70's & 80's. That's right. She put her ass in some class!

I need sassy/cute, quality, affordable clothes. Lead me in the right direction oh stylish ones!

Yesterday's Scorecard

Ate well and made good use of my leftovers. That's always satisfying. It was a quiet day around the house thanks to the 86 Big Brat Lock Down.

Exercise

It wasn't meant to be. Everything happens for a reason.
