You know I love the seasons, truly, but I really love spring, summer and fall best. Cold traps you in the house, makes every drive a challenge, makes me wear bulking unflattering clothes.
Actually pretty much everything is unflattering lately. The clothes out there are awful. If I was a size 6 hispanic 16 year old female I would be in hog heaven. However as a overweight going on senior citizen I am less then pleased with the selections. I don't want midi-baring, form-fitting, clinging, sparkling, transparent clothes. I don't want 5 inch heels with sequins on them. I don't want cut to the navel and the butt crack tops. On the other side of this is I don't want old lady clothes either. There has got to be a happy medium I can afford.
They do make clothes I like. It I was wealthier I could dress like I want or if I was talented I could make clothes I like. I am neither. Somebody make some affordable attactive clothes for mature size late middle-aged women, PLEASE.

Hey...I am a size 6, hispanic female...ok, so I'm not 16 years old!! I find it difficult to find clothes that fit, too. Why does everything have to be form fitting? It fits, but it doesn't look right on someone my age...AND, why is everything so low cut?? I absolutely hate shopping for clothes!!

Awwww.....the snow. I can't wait. In Indiana we usually get a good snow around Thanksgiving. Waiting.
I don't think I would want to live where it's as cold as you are, Julie, but I sure wish it were a bit cooler here in Southern California. At least it's dropped down into the upper 60's during the day.. FINALLY! Only down in the 50's at night though. That's about as good as it gets here. Once in a while we might get lucky enough to put a freakin' sweater on!

Hi Julie. Getting cooler here too. Not COLD yet...but cooler. I shop at Lane Bryant. I love to buy stuff online. It always fits me perfect and they do have a lot of stuff to choose from for my taste.....which is casual.
Let me know if you have luck there.

Heck I dont want those clothes at my age either...I live in my jogging pants because they have enough spandex where I dont feel like I'm wearing anything...I love over sized shirts too...comfy...is what its about
I live in the land of eternal summer (Florida - it will be in the 80s today) and I only find myself jealous in the fall, because I miss seeing the leaves change. But it seems like you didn't even have much of a fall up there if snow is already on the way!! Geez, you went from summer to winter with only a minute of fall, huh? I think it's more gradual on the east coast than the midwest. Their temps are still pretty moderate with no snow in the forecast.
Oh well, if I were you, I'd make a big pot of chili, stew or soup, and start a fire in the fireplace. Wow, that sounds soooo good to moi!!

Hi Julie, I finally found your journal again...lol. I have to agree on the clothes thing. I'll be 53 soon. I'm overweight and hate the selections. I also like seasons changing but hate winter. I was just looking at your photo journal....awesome! Chris
Burrrr! just started getting cold her...and my man is so bad at getting the heater up and going!!! I hate to be cold...but love the look of all the seasons...Hope you have a great week! TerryAnn
