Clothes Shopping

I absolutely hate shopping for clothes! And even worse trying to find the perfect dress. I wanted to find a nice spring type dress for our upcoming family pictures/Easter/Caleb's 1st birthday party. Its not as easy as it sounds. I tend to like matching the whole family when we take pictures as much as I can and the boys have nice blueish green plaid shirts with navy blue pants. So I thought that maybe a nice yellow dress or shirt would work great. I had found a yellow and white stripped dress online at Old Navy and thought I would go try it on in the store to see how it looked. Yeah that was a no go! I just have problems finding a dress that fits my body type. Since having kids it has appeared that my hips are wider then they used to be, understandable I had 2 large kids. So because of this every dress, in my eyes, makes my hips stick out or look huge! My sister gave me a gift card for my birthday to Victoria's Secret, so I decided to look online at their clothes to see what was on clearance and in what color. I found a really pretty blue color that would match the boys' shirts perfectly! Then for $9.99 I found a shirt that I liked in that color. Finally I went to enter in my size and of course it was only available in XS! Since loosing weight I have come back down to a size small, but XS no way! So the search continued. I did find 2 just basic t-shirts in the same color and size small that I decided to purchase, but that one shirt was haunting me. I went back and looked at it again and just went for it, hey I can loose more weight and it will fit by the time I need to wear it right? Well we will see.... If all else fails I can just give it to my sister who indeed wears an XS! The search for a cute spring dress is still on....
