OOTD

[ms.sss 15,248]

Mr. bought us tickets to the opera for my birthday a while back and we went to go see it last night. Never been to the opera before, turns out I'm not a fan (love regular theatre though ). When the bells went off to signal that intermission was over, I was all, I'd rather stay out here and finish my charcuterie snack pack than go back in there for another hour, hahahaha. I guess I'm not all that cultured.

Ok, this is a weird OODT. We made puppets today for a free daycare. I AM technically wearing it.

Ok. Do y'all have the mental space to let me vent about a completely ridiculous WLS first world problem?

Yeah? Great !

I *needed* a new coat. (Long-ish story but my wonderful Cole Haan coat that is dry clean only - I washed/dryed multiple times which is not usually a problem but ... I left it in the dryer too long and it shrunk. Oops 😔

So one of my daughters will get it unless I lose 15lbs) I went shopping and these are the coats/sizes/ranges I tried on:

Smalls- which were just right or too big

Mediums- which were too small or too big.

Larges- which were slightly loose or too big

No rhyme or reason to sizing these days

Here are are some of the abysmal results:

Side not: why the **** does this fitting room have a Michael Westmore FX lighting budget... I look like a Ferengi?!?! Whatevs 😒

So I went to a different store and did finally find something to make sense of all this sizing madness. This is a medium, which is my true size these days. I also bought high riding boot because FOMO 😂

Love this coat! The others were dreadful on you! They made you look about 4'6" tall. Those boots are to die for!

Good choice Though I thought the third one (the belted grey one) looked nice on you too...

(and love the boots!)

The first 3 were all simply off /wrong fit. Ill/well fitting clothing will make you look totally different

YES!!! I went to a nice consignment store the other day and tried on a few pairs of jeans. One size 4 Was Way too big. A size 2 Was Way too small. A size 0 fit. All different brands. Anyway it was my first time shopping consignment and I found three shirts and a jacket I ended up taking home. I was eyeballing a pair of Chanel high heels but I walked away. I never will forget them though. Maybe one day.....

I agree completely

[AngieBear 2,524]

Okay, this outfit is fine, but it would be MUCH better with tall boots. I clearly need to do some shopping! This dress is too big, but the belt is helping.

Love the blue & tan combo!

@AngieBear looking good, lady. A cropped tan jacket is on my shopping list now.
