dressing down

So. . .busy. No dress. Couldn't find anything I liked, and we only had an hour to look. Lawrence was picking out dresses that were extremely stuffy and conservative, such that Kitty on Darma and Greg might wear, and it made me worry about his taste, but he later admitted that he was picking things out that *gasp* his ex would wear. Ewww. So after he realized he was doing that he decided to stop it and try to figure out what I like. Yeah. good luck on THAT buddy. I told him that what I like changes from day to day and most people, including my mom, refuse to buy clothes for me. He said that while that was true, there's bound to be overall trends. We'll see what happens with that.

But, I decided to get the material for a dress. I bought a pattern a while back with a definite Asian feel, and I think the time has come for this dress. Maybe when it's done I can put up a pic for you.

Trying on clothes always makes me feel fat. But at least now I feel fat trying on size 14 clothes rather than feeling fat trying on size 22 clothes. I say that's a step in the right direction.

All righty. Back to work. *sigh* I'll try to post again soon.

Yeah trying on clothes makes me feel fat too. Except when I discover I'm a size smaller then I think I am, in which case I then feel super skinny...even if it's down to a 14 rather than a 16. I think it's a conspiracy by designers to make us all want to look like models or something.
We should go clothes shopping sometime...it could be like a girls day out or something...i think maybe we should wait until I get a pump though so that Patrick can watch the baby longer. :)

wow this lawrence guy is awesome if he's helping you pick out clothes. i would have went with the standard 'i'm sure whatever you wear will look nice dear,' line. but i guess that's why i don't have a girlfriend.

k: Yeah, I went Thursday night to Fashionbug and bought capris and I thought about calling you, but I was on a limited time frame. I would give you a pump if I still had one. But I don't and that's kinda gross, so anyway.

C: So you and your girlfriend broke up then? You're better off without her! She didn't treat you right. Maybe you should have bought her clothes! :)
