Extreme Queen to Fashion Magazine

When I was a young girl baggy clothes were in! Baggy pants with an undershirt was the major style. I have no idea why men’s clothing was such a hit back then.

So when I became a younger women in my older teens I decided I should at least start dressing like a girl. After all, what do they have women’s fashion for?

Anyhow, I went from one extreme to the next extreme. My clothes were so tight you could see everything. Agh! I know! And to top it off I usually wore tight tops with mini skirts which of course is suitable for a tween, but not for me. This was so girly it was too girly, it was practically street walker. So that was my fashion disaster for a couple of years until recently when I experienced total enlightenment.

Thank goodness too, because I was becoming an adult and it was about time I started dressing like one. So after I saved up enough money to go on a well deserved shopping spree, I packed all my clothes into a large bin and dropped it on the side of the road. Do not worry there was a Goodwill conveniently on the side of it.

Then, I drove off to the mall keeping in mind that moving one size up makes you appear one size smaller and you can breathe too! I picked up my grown up wardrobe with subtle pinks and subtle matellic. No glitter text shirts!

That night I went home and felt like a whole new person, I felt reborn. Since then, I still dress like an adult and hope to remain that way without becoming a fashion nightmare.
