The Challenge

Shopping is the only thing I will do when I spend time with myself.  It is my friend and it makes me happy.  Eventhough I am not at my ideal size.  The time has come for me to find other things to do with my time.  I have too many clothes.  Most women would say, no, but it is true. 

This week, my husband had to put his foot down.  He says we don't have enough room for all my clothes.  I told him that a long time ago.  I had already decided that I would not shop anymore, but of course, he has motivated me even more.  As I learn more about myself, I am up for the challenge of changing how I view shopping.  In order to detox myself, I am not shopping at all and I will challenge myself to wear everything I own at least once in the next 6 months. 

I will try to take pictures and keep an update of how certain outfits make me feel.  Why am I doing that?  Hopefully, it will help me clean out some clothes that I don't need and I need to loose the dream of ever fitting them again.

What a challenge, especially since I finally live in a city with "The Limited"!

Day 1

Today I wore my brown pasley dress from Old Navy.  It is amazing that I have had the dress for almost 10 years and I know what store I purchased it from.  It was there first year selling summer dresses.  I liked the feel of the dress and the way it flows. The colors of Brown and Cream go great against my skin, especially since, I usually have a nice tan in the summer.  My only problem is that my chest does not fit right.  I can go with or without a bra and still get the same results.  I feel like my breast are about to either fall out at anytime or they look deformed, because they hold more fat than muscle.  I don't want to get rid of the dress, because I won't find another, it was my first summer dress that I bought to go out on a casual date and still wear it to church. 

The dress is flows away from the mid section.  I think it is a keeper.
