The Cure For Fashion Depression
PMS, bad weather, lack of money and the fact that I’m going back to school this week have left me with a slight case of fashion depression. I don’t really feel inspired in any way and I don’t feel like dressing nice. Today I am attempting to find a solution. Here’s my remedy:
Start the day with a spa treatment. Since I can’t afford doing this somewhere I take care of it my self.
Go shopping. Even the smallest item can make me see my whole wardrobe in a new perspective. I went for a boyfriend cardigan and a cape. I’m probably returning the cardigan but at least it got me back into the game.
Treat the wounds with a beer at noon. Drinking at that early hour can leave me feeling a little tipsy after just one beer. In addition I’ve heard it’s a good cure for PMS.
Eat a killer dinner. In my case it’ll be rosemary chicken stuffed with a lemon in true Jamie Oliver style.
Spend time on a fun craft project. I’m making a rather fun scarf that I’ll share with you as soon as it’s done.
At the end of the day I’ll probably feel a whole lot better. Here’s the cape I got by the way, it has those cute little holes for your arms:

Cordelia, I feel for you! Fat days are the worst! It often helps for me to give myself the spa treatment I talked about above. A bath, face mask, body scrub and all that… It doesn’t always work the same day but it at least gives a good foundation. Hope you feel better soon!
Fashion.faux.pas, it’s kind of comforting to hear that I’m not the only one to feel this way. :) Good luck!
Andrea, thank you so much! It helps. :)

PMS and cramps are the worst. But I love that cape! I have been looking for a good cropped caplet and it is hard to come by, so good find.

It’s H&M and it was very cheap. It’s not the perfect quality (a fabric that reminds me of what they use for hoodys) but it still looks pretty nice.

I also use a bit of a spa treatment to lift my spirits when I’m feeling down. I also find that even if I can’t get a great outfit together, if I wear some really great lingerie underneath my clothes, it gets me back in my groove by the next day.

[…] Filed in: Fashion, Outfits As a step in my treatment for fashion depression I went shopping. I was planning on returning one of the items as you know. Suddenly I realized something. There was this shirt that I had been looking at several times and liked but never bought - I could not live without this any longer. So I took the cardigan back and swapped it for the shirt. They only had one left that was two sizes too big. I thought it would never work, but it fit perfectly. Talk about luck! […]

Jennifer, great lingerie is so underrated! Some nice underwear may make me feel good on any day.
Stylelike, hehe, I wish! :)

August 16th, 2006 at 6:58 pm
I didn’t know they came in white!

August is leaving us oh so soon, and that means summer will be over in the blink of an eye. For some, it is already a memory as schools are starting up again and we all start cracking the books…….
