I'm doing a lot of prep for my sleeving on Jan 26, but one of the things I'm most excited about is being able to define my style in a new way when I do lose the weight. A lot of options will be open to me since I'll be able to choose more on what I really like rather than what just fits.

So, to motivate myself, I'm making a list of things I can't wait to wear. For example:

- my grandfather was an avid cruiser who spent a lot of time in Asia. This resulted in a number of custom-made suits and tuxedos in every imaginable color and style. My favorites are an old-school tuxedo, an old Harris tweed, and a red linen tuxedo jacket. I'm going to rock the eff out of both when I fit into them.

- I found my old Brownie and Girl Scout sashes. I want to make a dress using the sashes as ornament (they don't fit right now).

- Every outfit worn in the film Troop Beverly Hills.

What about you??

I want to wear a nice short (not hoochie short but short) dress. I NEVER show my legs! No dresses no shorts nothing! I have thick muscle legs I want thinner legs for that reason!

Oh and maybe one of those cute Jump suits, cat suits whatever you call them...but classy for my DIL's baby shower in 3 months! Game on!

Outfits designed around Girl Scout and Brownie sashes, huh?

Let's just say I've gone a different direction. I posted about it recently at:

In fact, that whole thread is a good one.
