I hate shoping for clothes. It always makes me depressed because I can never find the clothes I like that actually fit me. Most of the clothes I like are just ones that fit the rules of my work.

But, I like to wear colors. Actually, (and I know a lot of people hate it,) I like to wear pink a lot. My favorite sweater is pink, and I also have it in purple. Before I met my husband I always told everyone I hated pink. When I met him he told me the reason I avoided pink was because I was avoiding being beautiful (and pink is often associated with princesses and "beauty.") So he bought me a pink wallet. After that... every time I see pink it reminds me that he thought I was beautiful. So, I like wearing pink.

Maybe what you need is to not shop for yourself (like others suggested.) But maybe what you need is for your husband to shop for you. Or someone else you love to shop for you. To take that first step to buy you a color they think makes you beautiful. Maybe that's the step you need.
