Shopping For Clothes

I have a Christmas party that I want to look nice. Yesterday I headed to the mall with my daughter to find the perfect outfit. Shopping for clothing over 50 is a challenge. If you are a size 2 you must still struggle to not dress like a teenager. If your size changes throughout the day by what you eat like mine does, that is a bigger struggle. Spanx is the first thing you buy. I did find out there is a super booty holder spanx in the lingerie department stores. I didn't spring for that but I should have. I stopped in several stores that were a no go even though they had petites. I did go in the St. John's store. A very helpful lady showed me a stunning red jacket that would have been awesome to wear to the party. The price was $1,395.00. I sadly demurred. But after that no matter what I bought was a bargain.
