I had to go purchase a few new items to boost my wardrobe (if you can call it that). I noticed that suddenly I am drawn to bright colors. Usually I will try them on, look in the mirror and head back to the racks looking for black or navy.

Well, I got this new very colorful Ann Klein wrap blouse! I also never ever would have worn a wrap blouse but this one looks very nice for my now boyish figure. My hubby loved it on me.

You look fabulous. Love the top and the print.

And you wear them well! You look incredible!

You look fantastic!!!

Another 'boy' perspective here..

Niiiiiiice...

I mean, I don't turn my entire self sideways for just anyone, you know!!

Plus...

How can you go wrong with purple and paisley...

I'd love a tie in that pattern...

I already have shoes that would go with it...

And yes, I'm definitely a boy of the male variety!!!

I just happen to know that purple and paisley together look faaaaabulous...

And even better on you...

Congrats to you @@Djmohr

You look absolutely beautiful Djmohr! You should wear bright colors more often! They look great on you!

Wow!!! Amazing blouse AND amazing figure to go with it! Keep up the awesome progress!

Love it and you look fantastic!

To fix the sideway pic problem, save the photo to a photo editing program. Any program will do as long as you can rotate the photo. Open the picture and it will (probably) show up in the proper orientation. Then rotate the image a few times until it is once again straight up and down. (I always rotate it through all orientations--sideways to the right, upside down, sideways to the left, and then straight again, but I'm not sure it matters.) Save the image. Re-upload the image to the website, and magically it will appear as it should. I suspect that rotating the image and then saving it adds metadata to the image about the proper orientation.

EDIT: You look amazing, by the way! I've also started to incorporate colors into my wardrobe again. It feels great.

It is very nice to have a guys perspective that isn't my hubby because he of course will always tell me I look nice. Unless of course I look hideous in something, then he will tell me, which I do appreciate!

Anyway, thank you for sharing your opinion, it definitely gives me more confidence.

Why the heck do my pictures turn sideways? Anyone know how to fix it?

Turn the monitor

Beautiful!!!

Love it! You look mahvelous, @@Djmohr!!!

Last summer I decided I would add white slacks to my work wardrobe because I was very tired of wearing black slacks all the time with a variety of tops and/or jackets. Well, this summer I got a little bolder and added a white tunic top to my wardrobe, so today I'm dressed in all white (a little scary!) including my flats and gold jewelry. One woman I work with and who isn't my biggest fan (in fact, there is no love lost between us) actually told me this morning when I saw her the first time "You look really pretty today, Lisa!" I about fell out!! I graciously accepted the compliment by saying a simple "Thank you!"

Thanks so much!

Isn't it strange how hard it is to refrain from all the dark colors? I have to be very on purpose about moving away from those colors.

I have been building my closet now that I am at goal. Today I had to go buy a swimsuit as I am taking some Water exercise classes. I ended up in a size 8 swimsuit and I initially headed for black or navy. I challenged myself and went for a pink paisley tankini and a cute matching black swim skirt.

I am happy I chose it and figured no one will see anything but all my wrinkly loose skin anyway. LOL!

Can't wait for some plastics to help with that.

You look great! I know what you mean - I think I may never wear black again.

You look amazing!
