I need to go through and weed out some big stuff since I found some clothes that I wore last time I was this size and those need to be put back in rotation. All my big clothes are going into boxes under the bed.
Glory, all the colors look great - go for it in color! =)
I was trying to avoid spending money unnecessarily on new clothes, but yesterday I went into J. Crew and they have some really cute stuff this season! I didn't get anything yet, but I promised myself if I stay on plan this week I can go back next weekend and get an outfit. =)
I need so many new clothes... pants, bras, dressier shirts... I just can't make myself want to shop right now. Argh. I even have a couple of gift cards left from my birthday in May I still haven't used... how sad is that...
Glory - I love the dress! Definitely go for a color! The cadet is beautiful, and would look great with your skin tone!
I had to laugh at the bra shopping - after YEARS of white and beige, the two latest bras are giraffe print and blue/pink tie-dye print.
Yes, I'm a shameless clothes horse even when it comes to UNDERWEAR now. I'm just so thrilled that I CAN find bras that fit in cute patterns and styles without special ordering something I don't like and that costs more than my groceries for the week
My most neurotic side effect of weight loss is that my bras and panties have to match each other -- and the set has to go with the outfit I'm wearing.
I try to match colors as well, but if I'm wearing khaki pants and a black shirt I usually wear taupe undies and a black bra. I don't mind mixing, but now that I have these cute matching ones, I have picked my outfits the past two days to go with the undies! It's blue today, purple was yesterday!!
I was having a blech day in the office, not much to do sitting at my desk, so I volunteered to go to the dive shop and order some dive booties for a few people who need them here for work. Oh and while I was there I picked up this cute skirt, marked down 75% to $20 (obviously paid for by me, not paid for along with the work stuff). I'm going to wear it with an off-white top I already own, or a light pink shirt if I ever find one that matches the light pink in the pattern of the skirt. See, I don't need no stinkin' brownie to make me feel better! Shopping will make me feel better!
Glory did you decide on what color to get? I do love the colors but I do like grey a lot too.
I tried taking a picture but couldn't get a decent one.
Purple! A v-necked sweater with a green tank and a floral skirt in all those lovely fall colours with purple ballet flats. Even though I'm 20 lbs up ... I feel good!
I had to hop around and contort myself to do it (the woman in the next dressing room must have been wondering what on earth I was doing in there!), but I managed to zip up a pair of size 10 jeans! Hey, breathing is overrated, right? Celebrated by going back to buy a gorgeous smoky blue handknit sweater to go with the jeans.
