This is a fashion post

After losing 45lbs, I'm discovering old outfits that I haven't worn in ages. It's a lot of fun - especially when they are clothes I wore in Japan. Fond memories of teaching! However, this has also caused me to create a self-imposed ban on buying any new outfits because why buy more clothes if I'm *hopefully* going to keep losing weight

Such pretty clothes! ^^ I wouldn't care about being years behind the [Japanese] fashion trends to look so cute! Especially when Midwsterners typically dress casual (me, too).

I get really sad that I don't get to dress up anymore. When I was living in Japan, there were reasons to get up each day and really think about looking nice. It was fun for me to do all that stuff, but here... there's no point. Everybody here wears the same boring clothes, and there are no truly nice places to "be seen." I'm sure if I lived in a big city I could have that experience, but not in Duluth. Everybody's idea of a fashion statement here is a beard and boots.

I rarely even see people in business suits here. ^^ Occasionally, but not often...

So cute! ^_^

I've been attempting to do suit shopping lately.... but it's almost impossible to find suits in the petite section, and everything else is much too long and the jackets too bulky (>.<) and the juniors section doesn't work either because... IDEK what the heck porportions they make those suits for.

Suits are so hard! >_<* Most of the time when I try on things with long sleeves, I end up looking like poor Nino with the sleeve completely covering my hands. I look like a small child. And "flood pants" are really just "pants" on me. XD

It's no fun being petite. D:
