Time to buy new shirts
|
You know it's time to buy new shirts when your son comes up behind you and says, "Mom, you need to fix your shirt, you look like a lady construction worker." Yikes! Here is the story behind it. I've lost a fair amount of weight in the last year, and someone gave me a bunch of awesome clothes. I was also given several pair of jeans. I haven't worn jeans in a long time. This has been really awesome as we're packing and the chilly fall weather has descended much too quickly over New England. I'm happy to have jeans to pull on. However, the jeans and shirts came from too different families, and the shirts are great to wear with skirts, but not with jeans. They are just not long enough. Have a little guy who is also chunky, we've spent much time working with him to avoid the exposure of "the plumbers crack" and having a teen girl we've worked very hard to be modestly but not frumpily covered. You know that your children have learned the lessons when they start pointing out the flaws in your clothing. My son is not the only one. LizBeth busted me for an "inappropriate" shirt on Sunday. I really hadn't noticed, and thought it looked great. Ouch! So right after we move and get settled - say just in time for - oh, Christmas maybe, I think I'm going to need to go shopping for a few new, and appropriately fitted items. I'm thing MuMu's might be good - of course, the prints might offend my fashion conscious teen, but what can you do? Praying your having a blessed day, MaggieRaye |
