Learn, Live, and LOVE it!: rants

Perhaps it is the winter blahs. Perhaps it is my deep deep craving for bright colors and warm weather. Perhaps I'm just going stir-crazy but don't feel like braving the mall with 3 kids. Perhaps I just want a change and have that itch to purchase something but don't ACTUALLY want to spend-- clarification, don't HAVE-- money to spend.

Perhaps ALL of the above reasons would explain why I spent some time today looking for summer clothing online.

I consider myself a reasonable shopper, but apparently I'm asking too much. Because everything I find has something I DON'T like. Here's what I'm NOT looking for:

Not tanktops. I want sleeves (Yes, I will probably resort to wearing some tank tops with jackets over or shirts under... but seriously, I would love to only need ONE shirt because layering gets so stinkin hot in the summer!)

Not long sleeves/sweaters. Seriously? summer, guys. SUMMER.
Not workout clothes. I want to look like I care (though I have to admit I might sneak in a day or 3... or 5... with stretchy capris and a comfy workout shirt!)
Not tunic/shapeless. I want a nice fit (the currently trending flowy tunic shirts just DON'T work for busty women, much as I wish they did). Just can't do tents, comfy as they are.

Not blouse/restrictive. Great for church, but what about the rest of the week? I want comfortable and casual so I can be active and play with my kids.

Not just a solid colored under tee. I want some kind of embellishment or design so, again, it looks like I care. And preferably not this tight either. Don't get me wrong, I love the clingy/tight under tees for wearing UNDER things, but if that is all I've got on...ya know. I think I don't need to be shrink-wrapped. :)
