What to wear… this also stresses me.

Now that I’m knee deep into my closets and Wardrobe Therapy, I’m checking out fashion trends. What I know already is that teal is big for Spring, weird sandals are the norm, my huge purses are still in vogue and maxi or print dresses remain ideal for upcoming warmer weather. I’m still not sold on stripes or nautical-inspired attire or cut-off shorts. And, pink: NEVER.

Backless though? YES, please! Especially after my newest addition of body ink.

And a glorious WTF goes to Allure magazine and all catalogs I’ve been receiving. There is no inspiration. I love to tear out pages to “shop” my own closet. This season is dull. And ugly. Or much of the same. By the way, do you find at a certain age you have grown out of a certain publication? I don’t need sex tips any more, and definitely don’t need similar inane bedroom advice. I am no longer a “single girl finding her way.” And I will not spend $1,493 on any piece of clothing. EVER. Not even a consideration.

We’re in the planning stage of our Chicago weekender at the end of the month, and with making plans and packing lists, I need to know in advance WHAT to wear and bring. I have shot down the suggestion of two separate restaurants because I fear their “too fancy” or “uncomfortably dressed” dress codes. I like to enjoy my food, but not feel pretentious doing so. I just don’t like to dress up — especially when it’s just for a meal. I think we found just the place though.

What have I learned about ladies fashion? That I still shirk from the ladies or misses sections of department stores. With my body shape/size, I am not quite a “lady.” I am thin and uncurvy, hence still shopping comfortably in junior sizes. I have to tread carefully as some of the trends are TOO trendy, therefore I don’t follow certain trends.
