Tunic Travails

Tunic Travails

Yes, it's true ,I have lost some weight lately.

But am I , and consequently the world at large who are conscripted voyeurs to my fashion adventures, ready to see me sport  a partially zipped  tunic style hoodie  in light green from Land's End ?

Being a pear shape  translates into most fabrics  clinging  to my  ba-donk-a-donk booty , wide child bearing hips w/ rounded  belly and  so are a definite  couture no-no.

 Basically I can buy nothing from Wally-World .All their  chubette chic  sticks on me like cooked  minute rice  in your bowl.

 I find the world of  togs for the shape challenged to be prejudiced towards  my apple-shaped sisters.

My Mom's an apple , she can find any old shirt to cover her  butter -loving shame , and with her the louder the pattern the  more she likes it.

So what if a few  onlooker's retinas get fried , the  startling colors do their  job by totally deflecting  from her largest figure flaw ( in her mind anyway)...

I thank the great spark plug everyday for  chiffon, spandex and  slick polyester .

 These fabrics make everyday  life as a bottom heavy woman  easier for the population at large and as a clothing mandatory kind of gal .

They glide off my curves  and  leave my exact proportions to the imagination .

 I wear a lot of three piece  sets   in solid colors  ( shirt, cami, slacks), the  attention being focused on elab orate accessories ,  lastly comfy shoes to finish off the look.

As I begin to lose more weight, I'll have to adjust my clothing as well.

I just hope  that I don't have to resort to  that hoochie mama Lane Bryant  look I always see them hawking  at the mall....

shrugs over a  tight cami  w/ capri pants *shudder*.

 

PS The tunic was too small and I had to send it back.

*pout*

Yay, April, for losing weight!! Hey, honey, we *all* need a little spandex. If we don't, we're not eating enough. Take care!
