Scoping Out Cute Clothes, Hairstyles, Etc.



Recommended Posts

Anyone else doing this?

I am about midway through the process of getting my sleeve and I've spent HOURS looking at the new styles for fall and winter! It's so exciting to picture myself happy and stylish and working the single-digit-sized clothes!

And don't get me started on hairstyles! I find that looking at websites for wigs (yes, WIGS!) gives me a lot of ideas for styles that might work for me once I set my inner skinny girl free!

Wheeee!

I do this. I pinn things on Pintrest. Styles I like and how I want to get my hair cut. I was going to get my hair done on birthday in June but I told my husband I wanted to wait and see how my face changes after surgery. I am like you can't wait to want to go try clothes on and feel good about how thing look and feel.

I'm also with y'all. Can't wait to be thin enough to wear boots over skinny jeans and look long and lean!

I'm already 4 months post op, and I always do this. I email myself pictures of hairstyles. I have downloaded apps for Macy's, gap, banana republic, Nordstrom, and express. I am always browsing the. And checking out new styles. I've gone down a few sizes, and I'm no longer in plus size clothes, I'm in a tight 16, off the rack non plus size (yeah). However I still want to wait until I get closer to goal to buy some rockin clothes. I'm just now talking my self out of buying a new pricey winter and fall coat, because next winter they prob won't fit me, so I've come to terms that I should just wear my old costs, that were to tight on me prior to my sleeve. But hey now that the coats fit properly they really do look new...

I lost a bunch of weight several years ago (of course, it's back with its whole family this time) and there was no shame in going to a "gently used" store. I bought clothes throughout my entire loss at one of these shops. I still have many of the items (like shift dresses and jeans that don't lose their style) and I can't wait to go closet shopping!

What are some favorite sites? Mine are Newport News, Forever 21, and NY & Company.

I am pre-op and have been refusing to buy anything new clothing until I am down sizes and can longer wear existing clothes. While dropping weight I plan on using Craig's list and thrift stores. Back when I was smaller I loved the store Express and plan on going back there. I would love to shop at H&M, forever 21, gap.

I found a great consignment shop near my home - this is how I'll purchase my clothing until I get the desired size I am most happy with. So far, even though i'm still buying 'fat clothes' I've spent $30 last weekened on 5 shirts and a cute Bracelet. All of the tops are either Lane Bryant, Ann Taylor and other designers that I would of never paid full price for, not at this size. I am so freaking excited knowing I find great deals on clothing and not worry about my budget.

My thinking - I'm probably going to be saving $100 or more a month from my old food budget - so I put 1/2 away for vacation and the other 1/2 i can buy clothes......yippee for me.

God, Aug 1 is not going to get here soon enough so I can get my surgery date......

I already picked out a hairstyle I want after I lose a lot of weight.

Every time I go to the mall I window shop and decide where I will be shopping when I'm close to goal. It's an outlet mall so it's not too pricey. I already told me husband that in a few months time he'll drop me off there with some money and pick me up hours later. Best day ever!!!!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
