Dressing

Sometimes, dressing can be a problem for me. It didn’t used to be. I mean…I was a size 20/22 and the plus size section was my area. I knew what to wear, how to wear it and what not to wear. No issues covering the fat and the rolls.

Now, that I can shop literally wherever the hell I want to…it’s a little harder. See, I never got to dress all that cute growing up, since I’ve always been a big girl. 14 and up were my sizes and until now, there have been slim pickings for the big ladies. Now, I have fewer restrictions on what my options are and can I say…overwhelming? At times, I feel that I might be dressing too young, but I can’t be sure. I am in my early thirties, but people keep thinking I’m in my mid-20’s. At times…yes it goes to my head.

Like the outfit above…is that too young for a 33 year old? Or am I okay? Anybody else out there with this kind of dilemma? How do you reconcile the fact that you have lost weight with the person you used to be, the way you used to dress? Do you feel you should be able to make up for the missed years of being too big to enjoy all the pretty clothes? I really want to know.

Travel Bug

I think...I want to travel more.

No...I KNOW i want to travel more. I want to get out into the world and see more of it. I used to get out a lot when my family lived in Germany. We would take day tours and the school would sponsor more of them during the year. I especially want to get back to France, see the countryside this time. Maybe by a little chateau and retire there. Would be so nice and calm...

Probably go crazy after a week, but still...the urge is there.

Moving on...redesign

So...enough with the emo. Time to get back to what i started this bog for. Don't get me wrong, there will be time times when i get emo, but I'm done with it for now. time to get back to me and what i like to do. Lately...I've been on a fashion kick. Picking out outfits, building my wardrobe...you know...skinny girl stuff.m *lol* no, not really skinny girl stuff, but stuff i didn't pay much attention to before. I did dress, but lately it's taken on a more...fun quality. I've settled into this new body (mostly) and I'm liking it immensely. Because of this, I've taken to shopping like it's going out of style. Lord help me. Pinterst and I are becoming the best of friends as i pick out outfits and look at stuff i would never have worn before. I'm even looking at... SWIMSUITS!! Oh my god, times have changed and I'm ready.

I think…

      I want to run away. I’ve been unsettled for a while, wanting to stay but needing to go. Or is needing to stay but wanting to go? I can’t tell right now. The unhappiness that I feel is stifling, almost to the point of choking. I should go home, let my parents care for me and just…veg. I have no kids, no real responsibilities that keep me from doing that. But yet, I still feel the need to keep pressing on, ignore the hurt and pretend that I’m okay with everything that’s happened to me. It’s the way I always do things. But I have to be honest, I’m tired of doing it the old way. The burden of doing it is starting to get to me.

      I’m not sure I’m ready to leave, but staying here is close to being painful. I want…plain and simple I want. I want more than I had and more than I have and that…can cause some problems.

Who the hell am I kidding…I don’t know what I want.
