My new obessions ...

Shoes! Boots specifically and dresses.


The boots I got on ebay are calf height slouchy boots with a small heel - I later found out it is called "kitten" heel - how appropriate! This is the first pair of "expensive" shoes I have had - and the only pair of heels that feel comfortable to walk in. I love these shoes! So far I have gotten them in 3 colors and a 4 is on order. If I can find them in any other color - I am getting them too.

I have also been trying to find my "style" I finally decided that no - I am never going to be thin - so no need to wait to get the nice "good" clothes until then. I have looked high and low - and took a chance on a dress - all tonal that has embroidery - it is long so the boots look great with it. I got so many compliments and I just felt good! ... I have now purchased (ebay of course) 5 other dresses. I have decided that this is my new style... bohemiam / goth (don't understand that one) and also known as "hippy".

This is coming from a gal who hasn't worn a dress in quite a few years. I feel good! Next is makeup - I am trying to talk someone in at work into arranging me a makeover.

Shop shop shop! I am happy - hubby just dosen't want to know the cost. but hey - I am shopping eBay so prices are good. Plus - I don't think I could find the styles I like at a local shop.

Good for you Tracey! Finding the right style and clothes that compliment your figure (no matter what type of figure that is) will always make you feel good.

Sounds like you are having fun Tracey! Get all dolled up and then make Hubby take you out!!!!

It's a bummer we don't live in the same city, because I have a free voucher for a very expensive makeover - and at my age what do I want one of them for? I won it for what I was wearing at my formal.

WTG Trace!

its always great when you find "your style" that fits you WTG im still looking for mine

Boots are always good. I own 5 pairs of Western boots and will undoubtedly buy more, in the future. I got my first pair, at the age of 5.

If you're looking for clothes that suit the fuller figure, check catalogs like Roaman's, Chadwick's and Newport News. I buy quite bit from them and they're reasonably priced.

Newport News has some of the best-fitting jeans, that I've ever worn and they come in lots of colors, too. I'm hippy, with long legs and sometimes have trouble finding jeans, that fit well.

YAY EBAY!!!..hmm well if you were here I would do a make over for you used to do them for friends all the time. with makeup my moto is always less is more.

Hippy aka "granola wear" (that's what my niece called the style when she was in college!!!
I'm still a preppy-but once in a while I do stray to something different!!!
