I have been consumed with all things High school these days. My teen’s prom was this weekend and of course she couldn’t make up her mind on a dress. By the time she decided everything was either sold out, not in her size or would take too long to ship. She asked me to make the dress. Here’s the reference and the final product.

The final look. The designer was excited I was wearing her boots & pointed me out during her Q & A. Had a lovely chat with her afterwards. She’s delightful.
Heard that she went to Chanel earlier in the day & they made her line up outside. They made the Chanel head shoe designer line up outside Chanel! 😱 She introduced herself & they said please wait here with everyone else. And worse there was only one customer in the store. Just one person! Don’t want to be that store manager & staff if she reports back to Chanel.
Later in the evening, a woman came to me & asked if I was a 38? When I said yes, she said they were supposed to be my boots. Quick & the dead I replied. We laughed. Apparently I’m always getting in before she does so misses out.

another gratuitous OOTD swimsuit shot! my abs are becoming a little more prominent...not because im exercising or anything, but because we have barely eaten while we've been here! i am NOT a fan of all-inclusive resort food and basically have only eaten over easy eggs and cabbage and the tube of Pringles i bought on the plane, ha. Oh, but i have probably drank my weight in vodka sodas omg.

Enjoy your Bikini Vacation!

Love that checked overcoat @GreenTealael & the sweater dress gorgeous.
As a seasonal contrast. My Christmas Day outfit. Comfortable & cool. Note the matching slides which I had from last summer & I even had a matching cross body bag from years ago. My 8yr old niece told me she didn’t like my outfit because it wasn’t Christmassy enough. Lol!

I’ll contribute too. I love the neckline on this dress though it looks a little scrunched here 😁. And so cool in our summer. Wedges are new as well. Been looking for a neutral pair for a while but many are too dark or yellow on my skin. These were a winner.
This is my room at my mum’s & my unmade bed. Lazy child kicks in when I’m there 🤣🤣🤣.

Winter in NYC! It was unreasonably cold because we were near the Water. Same coat for the last 4 years but new platform Chelsea/combat boots.

they really should just sell clothes based on their actual measurements. forget this arbitrary sizing across manufacturers!
i find men's clothing does a better job of this (some but not all). men's pants are sold by waist measurement and inseam. suits by chest measurement. shirts by neck circumference. this is a more standardized way of doing things, man!
anyway, just venting...im still bummed about my shopping lol.
as for the vaccum it wasn't even for me. bought it for the Kid's dorm. ...but at least i got a good deal! ha!

Oh that is so annoying. I’ve had that happen too. If they only go down to an XS I need an XXS & if they do stock XXS I only need an XS. Sizing is super frustrating. One of the dresses I bought is an Aust 4 & the other an UK 6 which is pretty much an Aust 6. Tried on a pair of tailored linen pants & the Aust 6 was tight around the waist & hips. I mean?? 🤷🏻‍♀️. At least I was in store with the pants so they went back on the rack and was in store with the dress I needed the 4 in.

Hey but you got a cordless vac. That’s a win. (Is it wrong to get excited about a vacuum??? )

well...i WAS looking forward to a silk shirt and a sheer dress, but the shirt was too big (and there is nothing smaller than an XS) and the dress was too small (got an XXS, and they are sold out of the XS) and they have already been sent back.
i also sent back another 10 of the total 14 clothing items i bought so basically it was a black friday shopping FAIL! boo.
i kept 2 tops (i'll take pics wearing them later) and 1 cordless vacuum cleaner, lol.
i feel very unsatisfied with the whole ordeal.
ha.
ill try again on Boxing Day sales!

oopsies missed this one:

seems like i haven't posted on here in forever!
was going through my phone doing my regular picture deletions to free up some space (who else has a GAZILLION pics on thier phone?!?! lol) and figured i'd post a couple! its funny that i don't have alot of full body shots of myself these days...managed to find these tho.
first one was on vacay down south and the second one from a weekend road trip a few weeks later.
p.s. i did buy a whole lotta black friday/cyber monday clothes deals so hopefully i'l have something interesting to post soon!

No words needed..........

Do post some things @Spinoza. When I started I used to crop my head off because I wanted to be anonymous. If no one knew me I couldn’t be embarrassed. I look back & chuckle. Given all the information we share & all the things we talk about a pxt is nothing.
We all used to post very regularly so it would be lovely to have more action on the thread again. it’s interesting to see how everyone embraces their new shape & new styles, & it’s great to see people become more confident. Plus all the different styles we’re drawn to.
I wore this to do my grocery shopping today. I ordered the skirt from an Australian designer I used to often buy from until their clothing became too big for me 😩. It’s a form fitted stretch skirt so I could get away with their smallest size. I was praying they would do it in red again to wear with this rather avant-garde top & yay they did. They asked for a pxt of the complete outfit hence me putting it on this morning & then I couldn’t be bothered to change again before getting the groceries. Ha! A woman at the checkout told me how much she loved the outfit so worth nit changing.
Your turn @Spinoza.

Had a presentation lunch today at the family business. Wore navy extra wide leg trousers (bought early this year 70% off - bargain) & surprise … a patterned blouse. I like the style of the top & worn it before but I never feel totally comfortable in it. Just a little pattern averse!
Check out my fluffy Pom Pom slippers on the background - super stylish 😁😁

as a former band-er..... I would suggest that you remove the fill and see if it gets better. I wish I had done that. Maybe I would still have my band. But, my band had slipped and I couldn't even swallow spit. So, how do they know it slipped? Are you having trouble eating? Drinking?......... Mine was removed 2017 ... went 2.5 years and then I gave in and did the sleeve. I don't regret it, but not one day goes by that I don't miss my band and the control I lost when I lost her...... I listened to everyone but me when I got sleeved. I wish I had went with my gut.

I'm loving the sexy long hair.......

Going to a formal wedding in about three weeks & have been worrying about shoes. Sad I know. Wasn’t happy with what I thought I’d go with though gorgeous shoes. I’m wearing a bias cut 1930s influenced gown. At about 12:30 this morning I suddenly remembered I had the perfect shoe & had them for years. I’ll wear them with black micro fishnet hose.




My dress. Yes black but look a print. And I have opera length black leather gloves to wear as well.

OOTD, hair edition.
Fist, sorry for monopolizing this thread lately. I/we are bored, outside and having some fun!
On the weekend me and the Kid got hair extensions for funsies. We both think they are waaaay too long and the Kid has already had hers shortened. My shortening appt is on Thurs, but after this afternoon i am stating to like the ridiculous length. I realized i really like it when im basically topless. the contrast between the hair colour and my skin is quite pleasing to me! (and Mr. lolololzzzz)
so i may just keep it this length if i can manage to go about my day without it getting caught somewhere at least 50% of the time. which is NOT easy.
i will say all this hair makes me feel super bad ass and sexy. so if any y'all want a quick pick-me-up in the confidence department, i would suggest some hair extensions to do the trick.
P.s. my actual, real hair stops just above the neckline of my bra...which btw, is my old breast-lift recovery bra (it's laundry day! 😂)

been spending a ridiculous amount of time out on my porch these days cuz (1) the weather has been gorgeous, and (2) Mr. recently assembled some seriously comfortable and hard-to-get-out-of adriondack chairs for me. so i often have nothing much to do out here but stare at my thighs. sooo...im sharing the view. Ha!

couldn't resist a deal. picked up these "sock stilettos" at the mall today for $30 CDN. i have absolutely no where to wear them, so i'm just playing dress up at home. paired them with a faux leather skirt which i also bought on a whim a couple years back which i have worn in public a total of ONE time, ha.
if it wasn't for this OOTD thread, human eyes would not be laid on like 3/4 of my wardrobe 😂.
i need to get out (and dress up!) more.
p.s. pro tip: wear super high heels will make you look taller and skinner than you really are!
p.p.s. oh, and cross one leg in front of the other one in pictures...makes your butt/hips look like they actually exist!!

doing great. sitting at a happy 130. it's hard to stay at this weight. but my hip have come back, my hair came back and well the boobs are still.......... well, huge. hehe I don't come here much. I should.... Oh and i started playing golf

If you want to continue to lose weight and keep it off don't drink and eat.
