A Clothing Confidence Boost

It is not very often that I go out shopping for clothes. Shopping for clothes has never been something I have enjoyed. I am short and always find it hard to find things I like that fit nicely, so I have grown into the habit of wearing jeans and a t shirt. Sometimes I swap the jeans for leggings or a jean skirt.

While out with my friend yesterday, we were talking about how we would like to look a bit better. We want to lose a few pounds, and understand how to use make-up, for example. In general, we want to feel better about ourselves as we both suffer with depression, and we want to feel a bit more confident.

So, with her supporting me, I bought myself a few new bits!

I started off with a t-shirt. I know this is the same as always, but it was a Star Wars one and it was reduced to £3! A pair of shortie pyjamas followed. By this point my friend was getting a little frustrated with me.

We walked around the summer clothes, and she pointed out a number of dresses that she thought would look nice on me. I turned my nose up at them, but then I spotted a black summer dress with white print on it. I actually liked it! Even better, it was only £5 so in the basket it went.

Next, I saw an all-in-one shorts and top that was blue with white print. I liked it but I was very concious about how it would look on me. My friend said why not get it just to wear at home and in the garden, and when I feel more confident, I can wear it out outside.

Gym clothes were also on my list. I need some more bottoms to wear when I work out, and I found some that I really liked. I bought them in a size smaller than I am to give me something to work towards. I’m going to look great on the treadmill on them when I lose some of my jiggly bits.

I am quite pleased with my new purchases, and I am looking forward to wearing them over the weekend as the weather is supposed to be very nice. Buying them has definitely given me a little bit of a confidence boost, I am so glad I did it.

Take care everyone.
