pluckypear - heh, I imagine that would be really frustrating, yeah. I don't totally hate my boobs. I mean, I know that they probably make my stomach seem not-as-large if only by comparison? If I wear spanx that smooth out the middle-section, I look pretty good in clothes.
But there are some INSANELY cute bras that I cannot dream of wearing.
I returned a shrug to Lane Bryant (wasted a good coupon on it! But it didn't work with the dress I wanted to wear with it so not point in keeping it.) last night and they had the most adorable bras in like, black and white and pink and green, with bows and polka dots. The largest size those came in was DDD. They also had a TON of cute bras on clearance, but those were mostly DD and lower.
I made, hmm. Some kind of soup (not so good) and a casserole with kale and sweet potatoes. Which was okay, sometimes, and kinda horrifying other times? I think adzuki beans are TOO SWEET. I read somewhere that they are used for desserts? I do not want beans for dessert.
Jane - ooh, so glad that you've salvaged the bra! Now you can get a cute off the shoulder top to show off your awesome shoulders. I bet the cups are the same size, but without the straps PULLING them upward you don't have as much space.
MapleLeaf - that is a great NSV! If you really love the skirt, you might think about having it altered. My mom sews so it is easy for me to say that, but most skirts are single-seamed and can be fairly easy to take in. Depending on where you are, I would imagine that the charge for altering it wouldn't be much even if you don't sew yourself!
