I just couldn't stand the not knowing anymore

I'm better off than I thought.

I could use one dressy top in cornflower blue. I'm thinking of trying to hunt one up in a soft drapey knit (nicer looking than teeshirt fabric you know) with a short sleeve (maybe just a cap sleeve) I have a floral skirt and only one top that isn't even really a favorite to wear with it but if I can find a top like I'm thinking of it would probably be my favorite Church outfit.

Here's a funny.. I picked up a pretty floral on black skirt this summer, I couldn't even try it on being pregnant but it was at a yard sale where big bags of stuff was only $1 so I went ahead and got it. Then my mom and sister were given a bunch of clothes of which I've benefited but I discovered that THREE tops I found in that stuff and got because I liked the tops, ended up matching this skirt. One of the tops is a 3/4 sleeve button up and will work for just about any season. One is a sweater and one a knit mockneck top. Well then I found that I have two summer tops that will match it too. Not bad for a skirt that I didn't even know I would be able to use when I got it. Oh and again in the handme down stuff, I got a pair of dressy black sandles that will make this skirt seem that much more summery even with the dark colors.

the only trick is that.. my tops will look better as I lose weight and the bottoms will end up baggy though I will have some time while both work.

so the one top and some good bras and I should be set

You have it all figured out! God heard your thoughts and sent you solutions! I wish I had sisters who could give me hand me downs...

My sis and my mom and I are all around the same size with some differences on specifics. But a friend of my sister's had a bunch of clothing from somewhere else and was giving her boxes of things to go through (anything we couldn't use went to the church thriftshop where the friend would have taken it anyway). So we all three got "handme downs" Luckily we have enough different taste that we didn't have to fight over anything.
