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 pair of jeans (wear them well!) with a wife beater and boots. Haven't been able to wear a nice pair of boots in many years!

Oh man, a pair of riding boots is definitely on my list! Good call!

There is a pair of white skinny jeans in my closet waiting for the next size down.
