I want to be on What Not to Wear. Occasionally I can be counted on to look presentable. I am nothing if not a student, so I have tried to internalize the key points of the show. However, this has a way of backfiring on me. Namely, that I don't buy clothes because I talk myself out of them.
While I was pregnant, I needed to buy some clothes, but my biggest concern was simply whether it fit over my stomach and would see me to the end of my pregnancy. But Lala's eight months old now, and I'm working on losing weight. Soon I'll have to buy clothes. At least, I hope I have to buy clothes soon.
I'm about ten pounds down and I'm not really noticing much of a difference in the way my clothes fit. It's a little frustrating. Keep on trucking.
Anyway, buying clothes has always been difficult for me. I am pretty picky and I am very cheap when it comes to myself. (Mostly. I will spend money on bras, because I am not about to suffer to save ten bucks.) On the other hand, I'm very interested in fashion. I read fashion blogs, I watch fashion shows, I work with clothes everyday.
I dress like a schlub. I need to figure out how to balance practical with fun.
In other, related news, I've finally tried Polyvore. It's pretty fun but I have a tendency to get stuck on one item. But I'm doing these theme outfits. It's totally fun. Like playing with paper dolls with an infinite amount of pieces. And, if ever I am rich, I could make these dream outfits a reality. Ha, ha.
