Over the last few months, I’ve been feeling a bit paralyzed style-wise. I’m not seeing anything out there I love other than repeats of what’s already in my closet. It’s hard to tell if that’s because I’m not feeling worthy/motivated because of how I feel about my faux-preggo-looking self at the moment. I’m certainly struggling
with trends like cropped denim. Because I’m unable to fit into much of my wardrobe at the moment (apparently fibroid issue is taking up 20% of my insides), I’m left with a few maternity-like options. BORING! It’s like all the woes of pregnancy without
the rewards.

And after seeing the excesses of Vegas, I’m feeling a crazy urge to purge everything and simplify. I have so many clothes I’ve held on to “just in case” – the Equipment blouses, dressy pants, blazers – that don’t get a lot of use. But who knows, they may be needed one day, right? I’m fighting the urge to shop or to purge irrationally while I’m in flux mentally and physically. I didn’t shop at all in Vegas due to lack of motivation and fear of sizing.

For various reasons (making sure my mother or a good friend will be around, work, prior commitments, doctor’s schedule), when to have surgery is still up in the air. What do you all suggest I do in terms of buying any new items, purging, and getting myself through? It is just a “grit your teeth and hang on till it’s over” phase?
