No joke. I haven't really gone clothes shopping since.... I don't know, I bought my missionary wardrobe? Wow. That's an embarrassment. I left on a mission 5, almost 6 years ago. Well, I have bought maternity clothes, but that doesn't really count. I guess I have bought a shirt here and there. Then every time my mother sees me, she usually comments about how homeless I look and attempts to buy me clothes, but then I can't pick out anything that I like. Why can't everyone just wear basketball short and baggy shirts like I do? We would all be comfortable and then wouldn't have to judge other people for looking differently than we do.
I'm pregnant. No surprise there. Therefore, I only wear basketball shorts in the house, then I attempt to wear human clothes outside, but I still hate it. I only own like 5 maternity tops and who needs more? I mean, I am so huge now that I only leave the house twice/week. Anyway, thank goodness I am about to have this baby because I can't wait to walk normally, sleep on my tummy, and not have an aching back all the time. The point is, I don't really care about pregnancy wardrobe, so let's not even think about it.
We live in a 4 bedroom house right now. It is way too big for us, but we got a steal of a deal for it, so we bought it. We are going to move to Texas next year, most likely into a 2 bedroom apartment. Do you know what that means? I have to get everything from a 4 bedroom house into a 2 bedroom. Now, we use to live in a small apartment and I don't think we have bought any really new big items just to fill our extra space, but I am still terrified that I will not have room to put everything. So lately, I have been donating everything to DI if I haven't touched it in the last 2 months. It's actually a little bit of an obsession. You know what that means? Yes, my pre-pregnancy clothes.
Now, remember, I haven't gone shopping in years. Heck, when I bought my clothes, they weren't really in style at the time anyway. I went through everything 3 times and my husband even helped me. I donated or threw away everything that would never fit me again, were just too ugly and I shouldn't wear in public, or were faded and looked really cheap. That left me with just a small box that all my clothes fit in. I pretty sure I have 4 or 5 shirts, no pants, and 1 skirt. Maybe there's a sweater in there? I can't remember.
So as my labor day is fast approaching, I decided to go online to search for new clothes. Of course my sister was on skype, so I sent her links to clothes I liked. First of all, the sad thing is, the only store I could think of was JC Penny and that's only because Ellen Degeneres is the spokeslady. As I was sending links to my sister, she said that everything I picked out was either frumpy mom or too fancy. I am trying to avoid the plain colored shirts and button up dorky missionary shirts. That leave me with crazy patterns and the frump stuff.
Let's face it. I can't look at Idaho people really for inspiration.
Oh burn. No offense, but the styles here are 10 years behind California.
Okay, point is, someone tell me what is stylish to wear, super comfortable, and not really expensive. Please.
you should call your twin. I'm sure she would be willing to offer some free advice.
