... try on some of your summer clothes that looked so cute a year ago.
I did this today in preparation for a pre-vacation shopping trip later. It did not go well. I don't understand, all my winter clothes fit fine- dang jeans and sweaters! This may not be a problem for those of you who have lost weight lately but I'm a little frustrated. I don't understand how your jeans can still fit but your shorts are tight?
Grrrr.
So, either I lose 10 lbs. in 10 days or I wear a lot of skirts.
I try not to vent about non-related topics around here but I'm taking my turn today.

I have had that problem before also.
I have to buy all new summer shorts and stuff - the ones I had have disappeared.
It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one. :-)
I'm thinking your theory on clothes shrinking if you don't wear them is 100% true. The shorts get jealous of the jeans and shrink to get back at you!
And yes, thank goodness our lives don't revolve around men...they really couldn't understand this!
What a great excuse to vamp up the summer wardrobe though! :)
Might I recommend Target for swim suits. I found one there today that I absolutely LOVE and that is very very rare for me and swim suits. I love it so much I'm considering writing a love letter to Isaac Mizrahi!
What does it look like, Lesley?
I loathe swimming suits. I was forced to buy one when I went to Hawaii; my mother actually bought it because she knew I was protesting it too much and wouldnt buy it on my own (didnt do too bad picking it out I guess). First purchase when I got to Oahu was one of those touristy sarong thingies to go over it. I did wear the damn thing but thats because its Hawaii.
And I never wear summer clothes, except t-shirts. No shorts or skirts for me. If I do wear a skirt, its a long peasant skirt. Otherwise, its pants year round. I have tree stumps for upper legs and wide hips so shorts do nothing for me. I feel too exposed in summer shorts/shirts. I wish I could find cute clothes that fit nice.
Now summer shoes...I got every color of Old Navy 3 dollar flip flops possible..haha!
I do need to lose weight so thats part of my summer clothing insecurity. Sigh...never ending battle.
But I will loathe swimming suits until my last days...
