Good Morning, Everyone!

Yesterday I went shopping and bought a couple tops that will go with the capri's that I already have. I mostly wear plain, solid, V-neck T-shirts, so these new shirts are stepping out of my comfort zone. I bought a tank top from Walmart. I have seen them at all the Walmarts that I have been to, so you may have seen them, too. The back area has crochet on it and it has molded cups
. It's turquoise, brown, beige/white, & a little olive green. It will go with my brown and olive green capri's. I'm sure it will go with the denim ones, too. I tried it on for DH and he liked it very much. I was thinking about returning it, but DH insists that I keep it. I was thinking it would be something good to wear when we go to OBX for the 4th of July weekend. The good thing is that I won't know anyone there, so maybe I can try to be comfortable in a tank. It's a good way to test the waters. KWIM?
The other shirt is burnt orange, brown, olive green, those types of colors. It has some sequins/and rhinestones on the front. What makes this one interesting is that it has sheer flouncy sleeves at the elbow. It has a great V-neck. I love V-neck shirts. I think they look best on me. What was interesting about trying on this shirt, I came out of the dressing room and asked if they have a larger mirror. The dressing rooms are really small. The SA said yes and showed me to it. Of course, I think it's weird seeing myself in different clothing than I normally wear. I mentioned to the SA that I thought I looked weird in it. She laughed and said that it looked great on me and that I "was tiny and could wear anything".
Tiny? Again, weird! I whispered to her that I've lost almost 150 pounds and I don't see myself as being tiny. She said she would have never known that I weighed that much. (I like that! At least the parts of my body that most people see don't show my battle scars.
) So that was my second shirt. I am going back to another Walmart today to look at a different tank. I want a tank, but I am unsure of the colors, etc. I think it's important for me to try to get comfortable in clothes that are not in my regular comfort zone.
I sure hope you are doing better than I am.
