I don't know how to wear clothes

[MsShirlLaverne]

when it never EVER used to bother me, I used to adore clothes, and have a fab collection at home

let's have a fashion show tomorrow night

I doubt I could fit in it

in fact my fave skirt I know I can't

*pokes belly*

*shouts at aqua*

no, not really, cos i feel pretty much the same what a fucking pair we are

i *used* to have so many nice clothes and i don't any more. i think part of it was student scruffyness and the other part my annoying feminist side that used to tell me "you shouldn't care about wearing nice things... fascist patriarchal society...blah..blah".

and now i've forgotten how to dress

and yes colleagues going "Wow! you're wearing a skirt?!" don't help.

i LIKE skirts, i just feel self-conscious in them.

see, we;ve had this discussion many times and we're still as bad with each other

letting the other one see you vomit - yeah no problem

letting the other one see you in a skirt - no fucking way

I love experimenting with new clothes and shoes, but I'm lacking in the confidence to wear them with my mates for fear of them laughing at me

I wore a new pair of shoes today and all I've got all day from friends at work is "oooooo you have girly shoes on"

It's annoying when that happens, isn't it? People don't mean to be irritating about it, but it doesn't help when they make a big thing of it. I got some 'Oh, you practising for your wedding?' when people noticed me wearing heels, but I was just wearing heels, as I do very occasionally and have done since before I was engaged.

Life was so much easier when I was thin. Back in the day when I was a skinny size 10, I could wear anything and make it look alright, which meant I didn't have to try. No working out how to disguise certain bits, it was all just proudly out there. But now I am a flabby size 12, I have to think harder about how to wear clothes, and I'm finding it really difficult.

You look pretty skinny in the pics I've seen.
