I'm probably going to get hate mail for this post, but I'm writing it anyway. Twice in the last week I've been late to work because I couldn't find anything to wear. My closet is full of clothes, but almost everything in it is just too bloody big. It makes me look sad and frumpy and not at all put together. Plus, there's the very real possibility that my skirt will fall right off me as I'm walking down the hall. You think I'm kidding, but the other day I was in the bathroom and it wasn't until I was pulling my skirt back up that I realized it had a zipper I should have undone—not that I needed to. All my cute sweaters are too big (and I love my sweaters); most of my shirts are too big; everything that goes on my bottom half is way too big; heck, even my underwear is too big.
I know some of you are saying (or yelling at your computer), "Wait a minute. You're complaining about needing to go shopping for new clothes? That's ridiculous!" A few months ago, I would have agreed with you. I have had fun shopping for new pants—which included a bit of ecstatic jumping up and down in the dressing room—and a few new tops and some new Zumba wear and some new shoes (which I didn't really need because my feet haven't shrunk, but they went with one of my new outfits). But I hate shopping for skirts, mainly because I hate wearing skirts and I don't like spending money on things I don't like—especially when I also need to be buying things I do like. What I really need is for someone to just give me a few thousand dollars to go buy a whole new wardrobe, but I don't think that's going to happen. I just need to buck up and go do some serious shopping, hopefully before something embarrassing happens.
I know, poor little me. Sigh. Now bring on that hate mail.

I thought I sent an answer but for some reason I pushed the wrong key. No hate mail. Just jealous Maybe you could take little tucks on the sides of your skirts and cover them with the sweaters I like sweaters that are a bit loose. This could hold you until you can go shopping. Have fun doing it. Looking forward to seeing the new wardrobe
I'm trying to summon some sympathy . . . but I can't.
You could possibly have some of your skirts taken in, though it might still be more fun and not much more expensive to buy a bunch of fun new stuff.
Yeah, not feeling the sympathy. Especially since I'm buying pants with pouches in them. However, they will come in quite handy at Thanksgiving.
