My Awkward Shopping Trip

I am not a fan of clothes shopping. I mean I love getting new things but the whole shopping process I can do without. Maybe if I shopped online it wouldn’t be so bad, I could probably use something like a Raise deal to get free shipping to my house. And if it turns out not to be my style at least I could return it by mail and get my money back.

And I think that’s where we come to the main reason why I hate clothes shopping, trying things just to find out it’s not my style. I think it has gotten worse since I put on this weight. When I was younger I enjoyed it more. It was easy to find things that I like. Actually before I got pregnant with my daughter my main problem was finding something that didn’t look real baggy on me because I was super thin. It was annoying when I couldn’t find anything to fit right. Then I am also picky on my style. I am a pretty conservative person. I don’t like a lot of skin showing. Lately it has become so hard to find things that suit my taste. One of my friends said that I should try online shopping as it’s more convenient than traditional shopping. She also suggested that I go online and read about how I can save money while shopping online as it’s easier to get a discount if you know a few tricks here and there. That said, there are many websites such as bevwo.com that could help learn about saving money while shopping online.

Anyhow, this particular trip was so frustrating. I think it is because that I really need to put more effort into my weight lost. I couldn’t find anything that I liked and look good on me or selections were far and in between. For example I tried on something from the Kardashian line while it looked cute on the hanger when I put it on it looked horrible. I was so disappointed because I thought the dress was really cute but it didn’t complement my shape at all. It immediately made me look pregnant. Meaning it brought attention to my gut that I am desperately trying to get rid of. With my stomach being my trouble area I am not trying to call attention to it.

I say trouble area because I do seem to have a problem with bloating. A lot of my friends have recommended that I look into taking supplements that help to improve gut health, such as from companies like gundry md, so maybe I will do that. I just felt like it was waving to me as I looked in the mirror. Then the other problem was I would find things that I liked but it wasn’t in my size. This was all while I was in Sears and Forever 21. Then add on top of my pickiness that I had my two kids and The Husband with me. All who have very little patience so I am trying to hurry and find something but look good as well. I found a coupon here to spend in a shop but I just couldn’t find a dress that I liked. Nothing looked good!

Eventually, I did find two dresses that I liked but it did make me realize I much I want and need to lose weight. Trust me this gut does not do my body justice at all. I want to be in the middle of who I am now and who I was back then. I don’t want to be super skinny or super big. I want to find a balance with the two. I want to go shopping and find the perfect outfit and it fit great on me. I want too many options not too little. It really is so frustrating. Being that I have been on both ends now I just want to be happy with me. However until I do I will keep playing with what I can find until I find what suits me.
