I am having a frumpy ass day which has reinforced everything they say on What Not to Wear. With my foot bothering me I went with the running shoes today at work and for some reason I am never comfortable in running shoes unless I am in full work out gear. I just cant figure out what to wear with running shoes and not look like I am 16 with no sense of fashion. Actually I had no sense of fashion at 16 so thats probably why I am uncomfrtable, I have reverted back to my insecure times of low self esteem.
So I went with a tshirt and jeans, except my jeans are a little stretched out and big at the waist so I have to keep hiking them up and my tshirt apparantly went through some warping since I wore it last because it is strectehd out at the bottom and the sleeves are oddly short making me look like I am trying to be in the gun show or something. I also have to keep pulling the shirt down (probably why it is so strecthed out)and my hair is flat.
These are not big issues but I hate feeling frumpy. When I am dressed in my regular work clothes I always feel pulled together which makes me feel good and people react to me more positively. When I wear things like this I dont feel good about myself and I doubt anyone could take me seriously as a professional and my confidence is low. Yup Stacy and Clinton really know what they are talking about when they say your clothes should reflect your inside and personality. My exterior right now is a 16 year old fashion tard and my inside is annoyed and grumpy. Thats it, tomorrow pain or no pain I am dressing nicely.

stay in your office and avoid all contact with others.
I intend to.
Ok so not only do I have ill fitting jeans and an ill fitting tshirt on, but I found there was a deodarant mark on my sweater I tried to put on over my horrible tshirt, I somehow decided to wear underwear that hit higher on my waist than my jeans do and I have developed a big welt on my face. I dont know why I get these welts but once a month or so they pop up out of nowhere, usually on the same spot on my face and they go away after a few hours of reddness and swealing. This is all just too funny. I guess I am just supposed to be as ugly as possible today.
And a permanant red pen just leaked all over my hands. Awesome.
it is your punishment for posting things from f.o.t.c. when they are still fresh and unwatched on my dvr.
I so understand where you're coming from Lu. Sometimes in that early morning light when your brain is still soft that outfit looks acceptable and then by 10:00 am you in utter disgust wishing you could run home or better yet run out shopping. One time I was literally so disgusted with my outfit that I ran out to the shops during lunch and changed into a new outfit. Also another reason to wear something you like. It will help you resists the compulsion to buy something new at Target when all you needed was kat litter.
Sorry duble-u but you didnt actually have to watch it though... I do think it is one of their better songs.
Monti I am glad you understand. I dont think guys quite get that feeling and think we are a little pyscho for it probably but damnit it if it isnt real and annoying. I have also gone out and bought a new outfit in the middle of the day, and I felt much better afterwards:)
