Anyway, because I had given her the majority of my pants and I wasn't sure how long she'd have them for, I have been skirt-ing it at work. One little problem? It's the summer, so I've been wearing my summery skirts all summer and didn't want to wear them all AGAIN, so I pulled out some wintery skirts (meaning darker colors instead of light colors). Well, truth be told, I'm getting a little chunky so my clothes haven't been fitting to well.
With a bit of apprehension I decided to try on one of the skirts - to see if I could still squeeze into it. And then I remembered why I LOVE skirts so much - if they are too tight, pull them up! So that's what I did! There are no pant legs on a skirt, so if it doesn't fit around your hips, it might fit around your waist, and it'll just be a bit shorter. So, that's what I did and I was quite happy.
I pulled my skirt up a bit and went on my merry way. Here is a photo to give you an idea:
(sorry for my funny looking face - my hubs was taking the photo and it took him awhile so that's my about-to-get-annoyed face)
Here I am with my shirt pulled up a bit so you can see how high the skirt is - my hands are on my hips. It's practically pulled up to my chest! Now that I look at it, it looks kinda normal in the photos, but I swear to you it's way higher than it's suppose to be.
I was quite happy I could still wear it.
On another note, my husband's gym membership finally went through so we'll be heading back to the gym soon. Maybe in a few weeks my skirt will fit normally again and I won't have to pull it up so high....
Have you ever pulled a skirt up a bit to make it fit better???
ahhhhhhhh I know exactly what you mean lol On Sunday I was late for church just because none of my skirts would button :( I finally had to pull out my little sisters fat skirts just so I could make it before church ended!
ReplyDeleteYup!! I have even undone the button at the back and looped an elastic band around the button through the button hole to give me extra breathing room!
ReplyDeleteYou bet I have done that! You, dear, are not chunky - it is just not in your genes to be. My genes make it really, really hard work to be a size 14 (which I am not now) :-( so I have definitely pulled the skirt up a bit. Now I just have several sizes of clothes in my closet. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm following you back! Thanks so much for the comment on organic foods I'm really new to it all so I know nothing lol and appreciate any info I can get. I've been doing a bit of internet research on it but haven't had much luck finding really good information. But I think I might start off with the dirty dozen...it's a good first step! Thanks again!
