I so relate to all of this. I feel lucky that I am not lured by fashion. While I like running tights and skinny jeans that's about the only tight thing I like. Everything else has to be loose and floaty. Even my wedding dress was really floaty and not fitted at all. And I LOATHE things up around my midrift.

What an absolute honour for you to have that moment with the Dalai Lama. A memory to treasure forever I am sure!
