OK, I have made really good progress so far this year.


My Efund is a bit depleated and around $500 now, but I have paid $8500+ on CCs, and we paid the $3k for taxes in cash as well.

Yes, the fit is important. If what you found look good on you, I would say go get them. Try looking at them as an investment (and they are) if it makes you feel better about spending the money.

Think of it this way, this is business and people in business will not invest in someone who does not look as if they will give a good return for their money.

Oh, I didn't even catch that earlier. You cracked me up! Totally off-topic, cannot help posting this link for "sheik" clothing in all sizes, all for $39.95 ...

Ha Ha - not really laughing.


Can't wear flowy scarves - my neck is too short and again, I am ample on top - more clunk at the top just serves to accentuate it.


Better yet, did not go shopping.

I have had to buy some new professional clothes too & am chubby at the moment- no fun.


I have had some better luck with dresses than suits- easier to find something more flattering because tucking in is not involved.

Wow. That was rude.

She came here asking for advice and you make her the butt of your joke. Now that's class.

Look at it as a business investment. You need to look the part.

I like the first jacket. It's very cute.

You should apologize.

Making the op the butt of your joke is rude and uncalled for.
