summer clothes

Shopping for clothes can be frustrating for me. It seems like I have a ton of clothes especially to anyone who has seen our closet but most of them don’t fit me right now. After having babies my body has been what seems like every size out there. After Hallie I didn’t loose the weight instantly in fact it was slow but steady, so I have clothes in all kinds of sizes as I lost weight. Since it has been getting hot it has been kind of uncomfortable because all I had to wear were jeans, the shorts I bought last year are way too big. I like to shop but I usually just look at stuff for Hallie because she is so EASY to shop for. Shopping for myself though is another story. Shorts are the worst to find because they are never long enough. I’m glad bermuda style shorts are in style but alot of times they are just an inch too short or something. Berret finally made me go shopping for some summer clothes though and I’m so glad he did. I now have clothes to stay cool in and my shorts are no longer bunched up around my waist with a belt. Berret is happy too because I don’t whine every time I go into the closet to get dressed :). Thanks Berret, you were right!

(I took off all of the annoying tie strings on this top and bottom pairs.)310vwq3t80L__AA260_At American Eagle they were having 20% off their clearance and they had some good sales at Target. The first pair shorts are from AE, I was also able to find some shirts for less than $4 each. The black shorts are from Target and were on sale for $12. To top it off I had a coupon at gap and got 2 leather belts at $3.50 each. Yahoo for good deals! (I realize the shorts from AE almost look like men’s shorts in the pic but they fit like the shorts from Target and are much cuter on and in an outfit.)

glad you can be comfortable again. I am surprised you did not just whip some shorts out from your sewing machine though I supose you have been too busy with Hallie. Very good excuse -- but you may not have had the material to make something. Oh well, your shorts look great and they appear to have a lot of pockets for the treasures that you will be asked to hold onto.

I know exactly what you mean about having clothes all different sizes. Small, medium, large and extra large. Right now I'm stuck in between large and medium but I refuse to buy new clothes until my body is back to where it should be. :) Those are some smokin deals you got though. I love when I have a good shopping day like that!
