Random, Random, Random

Good Morning,

I got up this morning to some thundering and rain.  I decided that I was just going to be my random self without a schedule.  I initially thought I was going to church today, but decided to just do church at home with the television, The Bible, and fellowship with my husband that didn't want to go.  I kind of felt guilty because I skipped church last week to go shopping (the Devil is a lie; LOL).  Being my random self, I am sitting at home thinking about what I am going to wear for my first day of work tomorrow at my new job; what I am inspired to write about for my contribution to a magazine; what I am going to eat today; and what I am going to write next for today's post. 

Yesterday, I received some news that my best friend will be visiting me from Philly next month.  I am absolutely thrilled since the last time I saw her was three years ago; however her husband came to visit the family last summer while on business.  She is my best girlfriend.  We share the same interests; however we are different in many ways.  When I talk to her, she makes me feel my best.  Love you, Lisa.

Excuse my unmade bed.

Well, I decided to wear a halter top to work yesterday with a blacktight fitting long skirt.  It was a good choice because I bought the items from Ann Taylor (the skirt two seasons ago and the top last week).  When I wore it to work, my boss complimented me on how well it looked.  She decided to put me in the same section where the shirt was located; hoping to sell more of them.  There were some interested clients; however they didn't like the way that it looked on them.  I did encounter something rather interesting:  clients look at things and make an assumption on it before trying it on.  For example, one client saw the shirt on me and was trying to figure out what size she needed.  She said she may need a medium and I suggested that she try the medium and the large. She then asked me if I was wearing a medium top.  I told her no; I am wearing an XS.  She had this shocked look on her face.  I told her I work out.  She said that she didn't. A point that comes to mind is the quote from Rick Owens:  "Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead."

This is so true.  After my weight loss, I love the way my clothes flow on me.  I think that is one of the reasons why I am successful at work and selling the Ann Taylor brand.  Clothes can only do so much for you if you are not fit.  There is not a one size fits all and you cannot judge a book or clothing by its cover.  Keep in mind muscle takes up less space than body fat.  I want to say thank you Rick Owens for this quote.  I loved the quote so much I made a copy of it and framed over my mirror in bedroom for inspiration.
