I am extremely particular about my clothes. My pants especially. They have to meet certain criteria...hug certain parts of my body, and not others. I don't like it when my pants are baggy, but don't want them skin tight either. I've been really having trouble staying on our budget as far as clothes go. I've bought a few new things this past year since babyjama was born, and they have all gotten baggy as I've lost the weight. Now I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but my body is a completely different shape, so my old clothes look...weird.

Anyway, last night I was telling all of this to my husband, and he started to go on and on about how I look great in all of my clothes. I know I should be grateful for the compliment, but it made me mad. I said that if he doesn't notice a difference between the stuff that I think looks good and the other stuff that I must just look horrible all the time (mature I know)...and then I stopped and thought for a little bit...maybe he was just seeing something that I wasn't. So I put on a little fashion show for him, and he told me what he liked about all the pants I hate. You know what, I don't think he was wrong, I just think I was being overly critical...anyway, I'm having fun today wearing something that I used to think looked awful...maybe it pays to listen to others opinions on clothes sometimes. Do you have any tales to share?

I have to say, some stuff way in the back of the closet comes out looking pretty cool sometimes! I have 2 irish sweaters that belonged to my mom (passed in 98). She bought them in Ireland in 1968. I replaced the buttons and these are the 2 most beautiful sweaters I have ever had. Even though I've had them in the cedar chest for years, I just recently "saw" how gorgeous they are!
Also, eddiebauer.com has been taunting me for about the past 3 weeks. They have had a lot of sales and I have lucked out on the clearance section...
