TOOOO ADORABLE! Love the kitsch. I wondered when you post dress... remembering when you ordered it. The scalloped neck line is really nice. You wear whimsy well and will definitely be spreading the holiday cheer around! Fun! Great lipstick color on you, too. Such a pretty woman.

Just received our holiday card proofs back from the photographer today - with the endorsed jean jacket from our OOTD group. AND, hubby's office Christmas decorations now complete. I'm thinking this was not one of Santa's better days! I know. I know. We do have a bit of a skewed sense of humor. ;]

I think we have yet another Bond girl here... FAB outfit! Cropped sweater, button front Jeans and boots just to die for.

Yes, I actually do! I use to wear a solid size 8 - BUT have dropped ½ to 1 size depending on shoe styling. I think we all need to raid sissy's closet! You do know the new James Bond movie (can't wait!) comes out in April 2020. I think we have a secret celebrity in our midst....Traveling. Hmmmmm - probably to some exotic movie set. Not buying the Starbucks bathroom cover story. The gofers usually bring the coffee or hot tea, in this case - right to the starlet. :]

Everyone is doing great... Congratulations! Five pounds to my final goal. Wow. What a difference a year makes.

Can I borrow those boots?!!! Wow. Love them, and the tweed jacket with the arm pads.

Hope surgery went well today, and you are resting + recovering as comfortably as possible. Take good care. You are in my thoughts and prayers, meow.

AMAZING! A total Bond Girl of intrigue on route to some exotic Swiss Alps ski lodge!!! Seriously, I need to come coat and boot shopping with you. You totally rock this look and outfit.

YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!! Wahoo! Totally worthy of all the compliments you received at gala. Hubby looks pretty dapper, too. Great hat. You make a stunning couple ready to ring in the New Year.

Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree... who is that beauty by your branches?!

Trying to winterize for our Christmas vacation. Cool weather gear was the last remaining clothing to be replaced... Except for this oversized white cotton channel sweater (1X) - I just cannot depart with it yet. 6 pounds to goal. Once loose skin is addressed in the mid-section... these new sweaters should fit better!

You look so pretty in this outfit AND so glad hubby is your best admirer! He must be so proud.

Woohoo! How fantastic is this outfit! However, not sure I'm believing it's just winter dress up at the house. More likely - a clandestine meet with James Bond, perhaps? I always wanted to be a Bond girl. I guess my James Bond movie score music CD's will have to suffice. Die another day by Madonna totally RULES!

She's workin it! Orange is definitely one of your colors with your pretty skin tone.

So PRETTY IN PINK! What a gorgeous curvaceous figure.

Ladies, loved this double-breasted jean jacket, too! It was from the Macy's petite, size 8 in Ralph Lauren department on sale this past Fall... AND, I know they had some jackets left in regular departments. Some were still on the sales rack as of last week. A great classic for any wardrobe. It might pair nicely with those who look really good in skirts flared or pencil style... Fun!

Those are the coolest slacks - are they stretch velour fabric? Your sweater variety and ensemble in varied colors are great. This black one is really flattering... I suspect CA is cooling down this week, too. Love the RED jacket!!!! Very cool outfit. But where's the sock monkey?

Oh, I'd just LOVE to wear heals (good idea!)... BUT had a serious boat dock injury on left knee a few years back. Since then, it was progressing into osteoarthritis bone on bone. Dr. Orthopedic says no heels and attempt to mimic barefoot as much as possible. That accident on a client's boat was the BEST thing that could have ever happened to me! My wake-up call to such denial, insanity and un-health coupled by tragedy, heartache and loss we've all experienced. Like... HELLO Sophie!!! The full brunt of 269+ pounds landing on that left knee. Can you even imagine!? I'm very happy to report with the weight loss of 121 pounds and counting... the knee has stabilized and no longer degenerating, at least for now. Not shy, for here is the pathetic condition I allowed to happen to my body. Wow, simply ridiculous when I look back. Looking forward, the GREAT news is we are each forging ahead to our best selves. A new path AND I could not be more proud of us - thankful and honored to be a part of OOTD.

Weather front coming in tonight into the 30's over next few evenings... So, running out today to replace all my gigantic PJ's and robe from last winter. Outfit for a holiday dinner this weekend. Returning the khaki bottoms - feeling they too clingy and not so flattering made for a taller leg + slimmer build. Agree? I really need a nice pair of petite all purpose khakis! Any suggestions?

My ABSOLUTE favorite outfit to date!

So excited for your upcoming 15th wedding anniversary! The gowns are all BEAUTIFUL but my favorites on you are dress #1 Art Deco styling hugging your form to perfection. The sheer lace work is so sexy... #2 Grace Kelly glamorous highlighting your silhouette and shoulders. The fabric flair is stunning here. With the right elegant necklace, OH boy! The last gown is probably my least favorite feeling it separates your breast plate a bit too far pulling down your wonderful elongated trim form. Just my thoughts, of course... Not there in person like you to experience the full effect. Can't wait to see what your final look and selection will be! So many fun choices!

Just now catching up after Thanksgiving holiday company... I love this picture of you!!!! AND the amazing snow scape setting. You have transformed before all our eyes - standing as tall in confidence as the majestic pine trees beyond! Your smile simply radiants with joy, purpose and beauty. Here's to NORMAL. Here's to milestones! Wow. For us Floridians - this picture is a true treat. You have also inspired me to consider a winter snow vacation now without all my excess bulk. Thank you! ;]

Oh my gosh!!!!! Puppy love!

I just wanted to wish everyone a delightful Thanksgiving holiday week filled with all things happy and meaningful to you and yours! Family coming down from Tallahassee today. Pleasant weather for their visit. Taking my shrimp cocktail for dinner to a friend's home tomorrow, BUT loved these cookies for our hostess gift... The pilgrim girl touts a very fashionable hat for her OOTD! ;] So very thankful for each of you AND our thread. Sending up warm wishes despite the cold temps some of you are experiencing.
