Fashion Advice Please
I graduated in 1990 and still live in the same city that I went to college in and I've never went to a college homecoming event or kept in contact with my sorors. Well I'm feeling a little more confident and since I'm a semi- empty nester I feel the need to get my own life.Tonight is a mixer at the hotel, a happpy hour before the mixer at a restaurant/bar and a party at a club? Now I'm definitely going to the mixer but I have no clue what to wear. I bought a smaller pair of jeans yesterday and a short corduroy skirt to wear with a sweater and tights but the size 12 is too big so I'll have to take those back and exchange them anyway. Am I on the right track? I don't even have a career or a job so I kinda feel like a failure anyway. Help !!!!!!
#1. YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE!!!! Who said that having a career/job makes you successful? I've seen the pictures and read the posts about your kids.....YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE!
#2. Don't stress about what to wear to your weekend events. With the cool weather we are having, some jeans, a nice top/sweater and boots sounds fine. Whatever you wear, just make sure you are comfortable.
#3. GO TO HOMECOMING AND HAVE FUN!!!!!!

So agree with PurpleT. THINGS do not make you an successful person. I see it here on BAF and in my everyday life how SOME front as if a career OR having several thousand dollars in a bank account or driving a certain car make you a sucessful person. FAILURE to me is constantly having to AIR your accomplishments without having others pick up on it without the constant bragging.
I would take your accomplishments ANYDAY. You raised two great COLLEGE driven children in a two parent home with two wonderful parents. I wonder how many people can say they have accomplishment that?? NOT MANY
Have a great Homecoming Weekend!!

Thank you!
OK here goes again. I posted earlier but I don't know what happened to my post
anyway I won't type all that again since others have responded basically
saying the same thing I was saying. Long story short ... you are a beautiful
intelligent woman who took charge of your life through wls and pursuing wholeness.
Success has absolutely nothing to do with career/job. Some measurements for success
involve family co-hesiveness and giving to others. I don't know you but I've seen you speak
of, IMO, awesome children/family and you give to others with your wls tips.
OK for the outfits ... jeans sound great pair them with sexy top and heels
I love the corduroy skirt since it is short, tights are great hope the sweater is
tight ..... accent the boobies girl. lol
Most important be you, be confident and have a ball!!!!!
I have tears running down my cheeks right now. I may not have met any of you but you sure know how to make me feel special. I once was a successful teacher and basketball coach until I had to medically retire. I tried to work and it lasted a year before I was told that I was missing too much work due to illness and dr's appts. and when I was there, I wasn't well. So I resigned last week. I've been very depressed because I was in denial about my illnesses and how I'm not eating and how I'm still losing weight...... I'll stop here.Thank you for the love. I'm going to go find a tight sweater at the consignment store and put some makeup on tonight and have a good night. I will take pics. Most of these people never saw me really big, I was size 18/20 my senior year in college. But now I'm a size 10. Y'all have truly touched my heart because I don't have material things but I have plenty of love.
You are such a sweetheart!
