SRSLY mi estrellita marron is staying OFF the internet… no matter how bad your plumbing issues are.
OKAY.
today was fucked up because the 4 rowers and the 2 squat racks were occupied for a long time so I started with accessories. Which was hard, cuz I wasnt so warmed up. Also I was wearing glasses for the first time…and I’m not sure if people were 
cuz my glasses or if they always do that and I just cant see them… 
Personally I think they make me look gay, and I’m okay with that.

@nlmain - GREAT advice for clothes shopping and nice pic, even though your outfit looks uncomfortable to me
[/quote]
truth is I run to my pj’s or gym pants as soon as I get home. I thought the question was regarding a professional wardrobe not comfort. comfort = jammies, yoga pants and jogging pants. Or nekkid. Nothing like watching tv nekkid on cool clean wooden floors when the the temp hits 30 plus humidex in the summer.
Haha! Adios, I didn’t even notice all that.
I’m glad the pic got pulled then, I can see why you were perturbed.
I didn’t notice, it was still an amazing pic.
Nadia, you look amazing in the dress.
Bre, I know that you look better naked anyway.
The hemming thing N said was most likely towards me (because who else has problems finding pants that are short enough lol), and I was recalling a shopping situation just this week for work. I procrastinated and waited til the day before to buy my pants so no time to get it tailored.
I have a few pairs of jeggings as well. Buy that in the largest I can find and it hugs me tight. Those and sweats are the most comfortable for me. I don’t even like shorts sometimes because the hem hugs my quads too tight and then start to hike up under my ass like panties.
We’re still the hottest bitches in the world though, so fuck I care?

Lol! Totally. Thats one of the advantages about being fit. You can walk around in close to nothing without any problem - you just feel comfortable in your skin!

put me down for 38-29-40. (ish. close to those if not very. sent em to mainy when we were talking about a corset)
duh.
we call it
BearWear
turns out i lied. it isn’t dressy clothes for athletic bodies it is athletic / gym clothes for athletic bodies. crap.
i like the wide-leg pants, too. especially if you can get 'em fitting around the ass and wider in the leg.
i actually really like this cut of jeans. maybe i’m showing my age… sits on the hips so you don’t have to worry about the hips / waist taper. the 1-2% spandex they add to jeans helps them hug / expand over the ass / thighs. though in the good old days they would stretch eventually. but i’ll admit i don’t have the ass / thighs of a lot of women here, so maybe they don’t work for them.
i just like the almost symmetry of some degree of flare… but i’m probably showing my age… i just don’t understand the skinny jeans look. yoga pants, yes. skinny jeans i just don’t get.
Friday night was muay thai/boxing night. Although my gym is annoying sometimes, they were cool enough to let the beast and I have the whole training room to ourselves. today did some shopping/attempted shopping. It sucked.
Awesome!! Love hearing that you and the beast got in some training. Love it!
Fuck shopping.
Bre, I’m nuts when it comes to my size. Like Masch I’ve never trained for size and I’ll go so far as to admit to actively dieting down at times to keep my growing under control. But I’ve kind of accepted that this is how I’m going to look and I’ve just had a jump in weight and size and the changing of seasons has had me pulling out last years clothes to find out none of my shirts fit anymore. So I’m squeezing into little short sleeved things which shows off my arms but makes me self-conscious as hell! But in the end, if I can say I can pull x lbs and squat y lbs and my snatch is z it’ll be worthwhile. But going shopping is not something I want to do, though I must.
It’s not that I care too much what other people think but I don’t want to stand out that much either or be a freak.
But now I’m seeing myself get older and realizing holding on to muscle mass is more important than ever because my chances to gain it and keep it are going to start slipping away.
But I also know that if I go ahead and eat the way my body wants me to I could easily pack on another ten pounds in no time and still be lean, but I’m still resisting. I have such a small frame and my forearms and biceps look bigger than they are too. (wrists are barely 5.5 inches and my biceps are 12-12.5 inches, depending on the day. and I have never trained arms directly)
I don’t have any issues getting a bigger ass. It’s the upper body weight that freaks me out. And that I can pop buttons off my shirt hulk style if I take a deep breath! ;D
I’m rambling now. Sorry!
Oh but on a more positive note, a female athlete (track and field - Canadian record holder at one time) I was talking to recently about training stuff told me I look like I’ve been an athlete all my life. So I liked that! Body issues come and go, but most of the time it’s good.

x2! And you are one cute plumber! Just sayin’. Shoe shopping is where its at.
I really prefer knits on top anyway. They always fit. Stretch = comfortable. No ironing.
And there are some really pretty tanks with flower petals and cute twisty straps and stuff for showing your new guns!
Happy belated birthday, Bre!
Didn’t say shopping was fun either but I’ve learned by trial and error what looks good on me. Now I can quickly skim a rack and in 5 minutes I know if it will do - is the shirt fitted? or the pants wide/ flared. is the dress “constructd” sewn properly? Those cool shapeless numbers make me look like a bag of potatoes. no bueno. It’s hard at first but get at it like you would learn boxing. Figure out basics that will last you forever (black pants) know what looks good on you and next time it won’t seem so daunting. Kinda like building a pallet for wine and not feeling overwhelmed when hitting the liquor store.
if all else fails I buy shoes. They don’t care about ass, or backs, or biceps
and nice training by the way very jelly.
BREEEEEEEE.
that’s all. OH ! and you are purdy
Someone’s gone missing over here!
I took away her interwebz privileges, and have her chained up at the moment. OR, she’s doing her work thing. The shopping thing was…sad on most counts. I was a witness to her struggles. All I can say is fuck European sizes.
PPuff, to semi-answer your question, they do have the flower-tops you mentioned, but mostly as dresses, and they are mostly, shall I say, “pregnant chic”. Very not flattering.
Beauty, sorry to hijack.
Oh, and referencing the Muay Thai training Friday night…this woman can KICK! I normally allow my female trainees to kick my bare thigh, as I can take plenty of kicks, however, after a couple from Bre, I had to grab a damn Thai pad instead. Yeah, I bitched out. I can’t wait to do it again, though. She can and will be awesome at this!
^That is one cute little beastie up there.
I’ve also seen all the empire waisted stuff. Boxy. They make everyone look square or pregnant. 
We need clothes that define the waist. Hourglass.
