Q.O.D. 4/04

hi Lisa.. if they arent... you can take a seam ripper and remove them... i never liked them myself so some of the older shirts/blouses that i am wearing now have had them removed... but it is always nice to wear new clothes that actually FIT have a great week and keep on on my way to to read for a few hours, want to finish the davinci code -- i have sooooo many new books that i just got that i want to read and this is the time of nite i enjoy it most... nite sunny

I went to Fashion Bug about 2 weeks ago, and bought 3 tops, on the clearance rack. They are 3 sizes lower than what I was 3 months ago, and I am saving them for Spring. Oh, that should be now, but, here in NJ, they're predicting snow flurries tonight. So, we're still in sweaters. I also saved alot of my clothes over the last 10 years or so. Susan

I went to Fashion Bug the other week to get smaller pants.... ended up in 18/20 down from my 22/24. Darn hips! oh well.... 45 lbs down is 45 lbs....even if the clothes don't fit looser. Trying to NOT buy anything....want to spend $ on the stuff where it counts for LONG term clothing. My DH is extremely $$ conscious. EVERY penny is tracked in Quicken. NO way to hide my shopping that way! Darnit! BUT it makes me justify why I am buying stuff and keeps me reined in from going hog wild WHICH is a good thing! With the exception of tucking my shirts in and wearing skirts/dresses again I don't think I will dress any differently that I have before, in the past or now..... I like to dress up to date with a few trendy/funky items thrown in but not too teeney bopper since I am not 16 anymore!
