No brainer decision....but not an easy lesson
Received a belated and beautiful wedding gift from friends overseas as we just visited them. A photo book with memories of the trip we took to see them last year.
I'm not very body confident right now and looking at the photos, taken within the period of a week, I couldn't believe that I was looking at the same person across the various images. In some, I look ok....but others? It's definitely me in all of them, but that frumpy person that looks huge? That's me too but why do I look so different?
I've taken time to really look at these images. The main difference? The clothes I'm wearing. The top (in the truly awful photos) has quite fussy details around the tops of the arms, the silhouette is shapeless. It's just.......terrible.
So I've just emptied my summer tops drawer and removed four tops that are the same (shopaholic here could never just buy one - I had to have 'it' in every colour!)
In addition, yesterday I wore a little top for the first time as I'm trying not to reach for the trusty favourites every time I get dressed. It was......ok. Sort of. Nice summery colour but not my colour. Nothing wrong with it, but I felt kinda frumpy. Decision made....off it goes....along with the other three exact same tops in other colours.
Another expensive lesson learnt, but gradually I'm learning what suits and what really doesn't. And if it doesn't......
