Chocolate Fall Fashion Passion~

Do you ever mourn certain clothes that you don't have anymore?

Clothing and jewelry can totally change your mood. Especially, something new, right?

Did you know this already?

I was going to a friends wedding, back in September 2009, and needed some new clothes. I had nothing at all to wear. I am not kidding when I tell you that I had nothing to wear either. So I went to the plus size big girl fancy pretty pricey store and went right to the clearance rack, but this little number below was calling my name.

It wasn't on the clearance rack and I justified, to myself, why I had to try it on.

There was only one in my size and I felt like all the big girls in the store knew it and were going to snatch it up if I didn't.

 Then would they possibly attack me for it?

I could feel their stares.

I could hear their whispers for their plan of attack.

They were going to pounce me.

 I didn't want to make the evening news under such crazy circumstances.

Especially, while making my television appearance in the baggy blue jeans I had on and my stretched out tee.

I was scared of them.

I wasn't really scared of them and their was no plus size girl mob-like fight either.

I just  thought I needed to add a splash of drama and excitement to what most would probably would be a less than exciting post today.

All I know is that-

I had to have it-that's all

(Yes, I would have taken on all of those women, in that store, if I had too)

I talk a big tough talk, now, right???? Yeah, right......

I just mainly had to have it, because the beautiful top had a tie around it and it showed that, indeed, I did have a waistline. Plus, it had transitional summer to fall color combo goin' on.......

So with this being my fashion purchase in quite awhile I decided I would multi-task it.

Break it up.

Make a few different outfits out of one.

 So I wore the jewelry, that I bought to go with this outfit, with a pair of jeans, white tee, and boots.

It looked really cute~

Then I would put on a cute pair of dark boot cut jeans and just put this super cute top on and head to the big city after Mass one beautiful fall Sunday.

It made me feel a little bit like Delta Burke-You know, "Suzanne" from Designing Women from the 80's.

I just loved that show!

I actually had the exact same dress that Delta wore in one of those episodes. It was peach and gorgeous! Yes, I said it was peach. Keep up with me, please, remember this was in the 80's. Now, that I think of it, that was one of my favorite dresses and it was also belted. I must like attempting to dress my waistline, because both of these outfits accented my waist.

Hmmmmmm......now, that's something to ponder.......

Anyway, moving on~

By this point I had three complete outfits out of one purchase~

I patted myself on the back, gave myself a high five, and decided that I, most certainly, was the

"Queen of Staple Fashions"

Until the instant death of my beautiful chocolate flammable blouse........

That, in turn, took three outfits away from me.......

Someones, flying cigarette ash, on this extremely windy Illinois autumn day, (I am not mentioning anyone's name) landed and burned up my right sleeve to the right shoulder, and ended on top of the neckline of my staple piece of multifunctional barely worn semi-expensive warm autumn chocolate top, while I was trying to beat out the hot ash.

A couple of tears just ran down my face, as I sit here recalling the event, and just now dripped on the keyboard while splattering off the letters "G, B & N"

Well, that didn't really happen either, but if I think about it long enough it just might, because that's how much I miss it-miss them.

So as I sit here approaching September I can't help, but to think of what might have been had my shirt not been ruined.

You know how I love passionately~

 It doesn't matter who, or in this case, what it might be~

I'm just a girl, in the world,  missing my chocolate colored waistline accentuating beautiful short lived fancy multifunctional fashion , in my closet this fall......

That's all~

Toodle-loo
