Now that I am a....

respectable church going "lady", I need to purchase some new clothes. I don't think a steady diet of jeans is the best impression. I looked a little funny on Easter Sunday with my jeans and sweatshirt when everyone else was dressed in their Sunday best.

The Hubby cracks me up when it comes to clothes. He is constantly saying that he needs more pants or shirts. The other day I went through his closet. I made him try on everything. In the end he had eight or nine pairs of pants that no longer fit and 14 to 18 that did. Now some of these pants are very seasonal. The bottom line is that during any given "season" he has at least seven pairs of pants that he can choose from. This number does not include any jeans. He is a little light on jeans. I think he has three or four pair and most of those have some type of hole in them. Usually it is around the back pockets or belt loops.

I have three pairs of jeans. I have no slacks (that fit) and I don't have any dress shirts. I cannot even tell you how many dress shirts he has. If I had to throw out a number I would say 25.

Bottom line is that he has many more clothes than I do and I need to go shopping. Buying clothes ranks right up there with getting a root canal. I hate to clothes shop. Nothing ever fits right. The only clothes that I like are ones that don't fit. I hate fat peoples clothes. I don't understand why they cannot make the same style in just a larger size. Why is everything in the plus section nasty?

Now shoes...... I enjoy shopping for shoes. I enjoy the casual sturdy kind. I don't wear heels or anything that is even remotely uncomfortable. I love the UGG Australia boots and I am going to try to get a pair for this coming winter. My favorite shoes of all time are from Lands End. I bought these shoes when CAL was in second grade and I wear them every day in the winter. The summer is made for sneakers.
