As if I'd let gender "rules" govern how I dress myself.

Sometimes shopping isn't so fucking fun.
learnvest
It wasn’t until I started the embargo that I realized just how often I bought something on impulse.

3. Don’t start body-hating when stuff doesn’t fit right. Every body is unique, and a mass-produced piece of fabric labeled with an arbitrary size doesn’t mean anything about your body.
shopping
Most people have Versailles, le Louvre and le Eiffel Tower on their must-visit-while-in-Paris list. Me? I hot foot it over to City-Pharma.
big boobs
A couple of fine shopkeepers are offering a nice half-way point between the giant baggy shirt and the too-tight baby tee with a monkey wearing a backpack on it.
self-esteem
Something about dragging my feet around malls for hours while other people look at clothes makes me want to try to swallow a metal hanger. I can't be the only one who feels like this!
first date
I've picked the guy and set the date. Now if I could only pick an outfit...
shopping
And it actually wasn't that hard. I KNOW. I AM THE WORST.

Something chemical happens. It’s like a Jekyll and Hyde transformation. I turn into Sephora’s bitch.
finances
I was raised with a poverty mentality. When it came to buying, I was that little girl again -- afraid that she wasn’t going to have enough
fashion
When engraved rings aren't enough for the magnitude for the emotions you have for your boyfriend or whatever.

Dealing with a sick pet: the worst or the very very WORST?
beauty boutiques
Some people are devotees to one store, but others (like me), are harlots of the beauty-buying world.
body image
Fat-shaming has been a popular topic on this site, and I’ve avoided the topic like an out of state parking ticket, but I have something to say, now.

My husband even proposed with a Tatty Devine cameo ring -- the astuteness of his choice (pink! plastic!) made it clear that I should frogmarch this chap down the aisle sharpish.

Think of minimizing bras as Spanx for your breasts; your girls will still be there, just packaged better.
buy stuff
All the moms you know will think you are so thoughtful (and good-looking) when they open these indie gifts.
ebay
I spread the legs of the pair of pants to make sure there weren’t holes and was greeted with a bright red blotch. I was touching unwashed period blood pants that this client expected us to sell to other people for profit.

Becca's got DDs and mark my words, she'll be gallivanting about in a maxi dress this summer.

Don’t pay any attention to the panic-stricken woman in the boutique dressing room. I just forget what it’s like to deal with helpful salespeople.
