Edited 2 March 2007:
I bought the black pinstripe suit last night. I went back to the store, tried everything back on, and said to myself, “Oh what were you thinking? It was always the black pinstripe suit.” So, now I have something that feels right and, according to the majority of y’all, looks right. Yes, I caved in and bought the Spanx.
I’ll pair it with a white blouse and maroon shoes and a maroon necklace. Being a therapist is a bit weird… you have to be at once uber professional and also uber approachable. I err on the side of uber professional because, as an art therapist, people are always afraid I’m going to show up in a gypsy skirt with a skarf tied around my purple hair and carrying a tambourine. I’ll compromise today in a black suit but with the hair down and curly. And brunette.
THANK YOU a hundred times for all of the commentary and votes yesterday. It really did help, since I don’t have a good sense for the way I look these days. I’m nearly 25 pounds down and nothing fits the way I expect it to. Your comments really helped seal the deal. I didn’t even have to call it a delurking day or anything!!! We girls do love to shop, and I love that through my cell phone cam, we could all virtually be in the dressing room together!
Thanks again…
I was called today for a sudden, ultra important interview on Friday afternoon and I need your help. Please help me pick an outfit!
I zoomed over to every fat girl’s favorite favorite nemesis, Lane Bryant, to see if they had anything smart and slick. Since I’ve begun to lose weight, I didn’t have any idea what size to grab off the rack. I could no longer just grab The Biggest and assume it would fit better than anything else. Aggrivating.
I’m down nearly 25 pounds now and I must say that nothing I own (mostly 28’s and 30’s) fits me in a way that feels even remotely impressive. On Friday afternoon at 2:00, I need to impress. You can help!
