Shopping Rant

Mallory called my cell phone this afternoon and said, "what are you doing?" My reply was, "well, I'm contemplating suicide, I'm at Kohl's trying on clothes". She said, "OH, call me back later". {LOL} I had no idea how bad the outfit I wore to work today looked on me until I caught glimpses of myself in the mirrors scattered around the women's department but then, I went into the dressing room and was faced with a big, fat mirror! And there stood, big, fat me....in a crappy looking sweater with a dingy shirt underneath and pants that are too short and my belly poofing out and oh yea...a big, fat, inflamed zit under my chin. Holy crap! I ended up leaving the store with one lousy top which was over-priced, on sale. I felt so frustrated because I need some new clothes! This time of year is always difficult for me when it comes to clothing. The transition from winter to early spring is tricky for me plus, I find it difficult to find clothing that is remotely chic and appropriate for my age and size. My clothing choices seem to be either appliqued, plaid blouses with matching, textured-fabric slacks (very Garanimal-like) or slinky, low-cut blouses with big, loud prints. Why can't the clothing makers make the cute misses styles for plus-sized women?
Oh I know why, they think all of our taste is in our mouth.

I am sorry you are having troubles finding clothes. :( I have the same problem. If you are not a size ten you are doomed to wear either granny stuff, or maternity clothes. I think you look cute all the time though! :)
