Blech!!

This was one of those outfits that you walk around thinking- alright I'm looking pretty delicious today!!!

And then, you come home, take your blog picture, and go : What the eff was I thinking?!!??

Yeah, I left the house feeling super fly, but when I saw these pics, I thought- great I look ridiculously dumpy- I mean this did nothing to flatter my figure...in fact, it emphasized all the bad parts of my figure!

Where do I start? Oh, yes, I know where... my BUST, okay I know a lot of people pay to have a larger bustline- but I am willing to pay to have a smaller one!!! I think that everyday I wake up I have gotten bigger up there- seriously!! I gets to the point that I feel crowded by my boobs!!

On top of that these jeans- which I thought were a score at $2, thrifted, did absolutely nothing for my thighs!!! My thighs are not that huge- look back, there's prior evidence!! I don't know, these may go into a destroy and upcycle pile, we'll see.

What's that you say? Is she done yet?

Well, yes, yes I am...

I apologize for the rant, but I hate these days!!
