Marry me?
I have a wedding to go to. Therefore, I need something to wear. And so, I went shopping today.
Oh what a mistake! You should never, ever go shopping when you're feeling down about your appearance. It only serves to make things far, far worse.
For starters, nothing fits. And I really mean this. Everything is a funny shape with ruffles in the wrong places, or specifically designed for skinny girls so I can't even get things past my thighs. I didn't even realise I'd gotten so fat. Clearly, these things creep up on you.
And don't get me started on colours. I can't wear pastels with my skin tone! They honestly do look stupid! I mean, laughably ridiculous.
And I don't like big prints or flowery prints or basically pretty everything that is in the shops at the moment.
And it makes me feel fat and frumpy and hideous. Meh.
So I went for a manicure instead. Nail polish doesn't discriminate over sizes and there are thousands of different colours too.

Urgh, I know how you feel 
My mum keeps trying to make me go shopping with her and I keep claiming I'm broke to get out of it. I can't think of anything worse when I'm on this much of an appearance downer.
Thing is, I know that I've looked worse in my time. Now I just seem to care more and feel more hideous.

You want to try finding some decent t-shirts that aren't covered in glitter or some dogsh*t tattoo style drawings of dragons with sequins. 
I aim to misbehave

Or HILARIOUS t-shirts with slogans such as "Take me drunk, I'm home" or "If found, please return to the bar"

Or ones that Super Dry or Gio Goi have vomitted all over with OSAKA or some sh*te.

There's only a couple of charidee shops in AltY (NEVER AltI
) Hale is better and if you and Scott want to come up a week on Saturday, I'll keep him entertained whilst you mooch, you're more than welcome 
Quote: Annie, Aug 2010Try charity shops; you can quite often find occasion dresses that have hardly been worn, and if something doesn't quite fit right you can take it to a seamstress for minor alterations and overall it won't cost much more than something brand new.
Not in Manchester central. They've been purged by these "vintage" shoppers.
However, it is a good idea. Next day I'm free, I may take a trip to Alti, what with all those posh folk!

That would be perfect, monsieur. Absolutely perfect. In Alty. Well, Hale.

It is really creepy and scary lots of boy t-shirts are pretty rape-y. - "Please can you read my t-shirt while I look at your breasts". Blee!
I am going to a wedding at the beginning of September too. I am really looking forward to it, but I do not want to wear a suit at-all - I feel really uncomfy and self-conscious - I am really worried I will look like an accountant.

Or faux-scruffy chequered shirts that look like they cost about 50p, but they want thirty quid for.
I went shopping yesterday, actually, and it took me a while to remember that me and fashion aren't friends at the moment. Only River Island and JJB had clothes that didn't make you look like a c*nt.

Dont worry, dressing so you don't look like an accountant doesn't have to be too taxing
