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!
