Mountaingirl Grows

I have never been interested in clothes, or how I look. If I am color co-ordinated and my private bits are covered, then I am ready to go.

Admittedly I do put a bit more thought into things when, say, I am going out with Miss Weasley but there often isn't a lot to pick from so the result isn't that different to "normal". My clothing budget for the past ten years has been less than $50 for each year - and it showed.

So this new job has been a bit of a revelation. I had to step things up a bit and (dare I say) I am really enjoying it. I am even dressing a bit above what the required standard is! I feel good, I feel like a woman, I even felt sizzling one day! Who would have thought!

So I went clothes shopping again yesterday- and got myself some beauties. And each of my articles was wrapped in tissue paper and placed in a "proper" bag. Sigh ...I certainly can't afford to keep buying at this rate but I think I have 'enough' and will only need to top up with a new shirt or whatever as the seasons change.

Now I won't admit to even being tempted by make-up (Abz has promised an intervention if I get to that point) but I am really enjoying a new side of me :-)
