The price of beauty
Posted by Kym under General
I had every intention about blogging about my shopping trip last night. But dang, life is busy. And dang I am in a not feeling like blogging phase. I have noted that there just isn’t as much time to blog when all my kids are home. And by the time there is time to blog, at night, the last thing I feel like doing is sitting in front of the computer. Funny how that works.
We are going to bake a cake today. I need to run out and do a few errands. I’m thinking we might go to the park if my energy holds out.
I did end up buying one outfit yesterday. I just wasn’t in the mood for shopping. My stomach was bothering me and I was tired. I think the whole flu thing maybe still has a hold on me. All I know is that I feel really bone tired. Or perhaps I’m anemic again. Either way, I wasn’t in the mood to shop and came home early.
I was successful though. At the very least shopping is easier now that I’m thinner. Amazingly, I don’t bask in the glory of that thought. Oh no. I verbally beat myself up every time I’m in a dressing room lamenting what isn’t perfect about me. Focus on the negative Kym. Way to go. *sigh* I do try to stay positive and remember the rules. There’s so much I’ve had to learn. I try to remind myself that now that I am thinner, fashion isn’t just about covering up what is bad about me, but accenting what is good. My God, that seems like it shouldn’t be such a hard lesson.
I ended up buying a nice day suit type outfit for my reunion. Very spring-like. White Jones of NY pants, green and white Nine West brocade jacket and a textured rauched sleeveless shirt. Pants are being altered a bit to lower the waistline so I’ll have to go back and get them on Monday. I’m going to pick up some green shoes to go with it and call it done. I knew I had the right outfit when I stepped out of the dressing room with it on and several people in the hallway were like “wow…that looks so good on you!”
Tonight I go get my bikini area lasered for the first time. This should be interesting. John and I had long discussions last night on how far in it should go. I know. Too much information. I’m just hoping it doesn’t hurt.
I need to run. My children are running laps around the house and I hear them pretending “carnival”. The weather is beautiful so I need to kick them outside convince them that the carnival is best served in the sunshine.

I am sooo in love with that jacket. I think I need a “real person” picture of it! I hope your tummy gets to feeling better.
