Fashion advice

thanks everyone. I'm liking the silver shoes. And the Spanx are a must.

so here's a weird question, is there anything I can do to make my legs look better? I will obviusly shave, exfoliate, and moisturize but is there anything else I can do? Maybe a tinted moisturizer or something?

Silver shoes would look nice and they go with everything so it's good investment.

There is an incredible leg product and it's astoundingly cheap. The Sally Hansen spray on pantyhose. I have fair skin and use the light glow shade. I never in my LIFE thought I would be in love with a drugstore spray on product because I am a total snob, but it is a holy grail. It makes your legs so smooth and even. Just be careful to apply it (although it is way easier to apply than self tanner.

It does shade you though, so make sure you blend it through to your feet. If I'm wearing sandals I just put it all over the top and back of my feet as well.

I have so many friends who use it. It's mind blowing.

I think a bright color one would be good! Add a pop of color. I wore a nave dress to a wedding I went to this summer and wore hot pink shoes for colorattachicon.gifImageUploadedByBariatricPal1470365686.254643.jpg

Thank you!!!!

and thank you so much everyone. For the first time I am actually not dreading going to a wedding. (except for the part where my family is going to learn about my impending divorce)

so would it be petty if after I got all dressed up and the hair was done if I sent a pic to my soon to be ex husband to show him what he's missing? He hasn't seen me in 100 lbs

Maybe a little petty....but totally human!

And relatable.

How are you going to do your hair? Are you a brunette?

This is fun...we should have more fashion threads.

Even better if someone else sends it! Have a wonderful time!!! Forget the EX!

I love the Sally Hanson spray hose! I'm very pale though, so the lightest shade is still a little obvious on me if I don't apply it right. My girlfriend's husband does auto body work, so she knew how to spray it in a far-away mist so I didn't look like a weird Barbie doll with fake legs.

Definitely get a friend to spray you outside, at least 3 feet away, in a circular mist. And, yes, do the tops of toes and exfoliate/shave beforehand for best results. It's cool stuff!

I have dark reddish brown hair. My plan is to straighten it and then put some big curls in it and pin up the sides. I will be practicing this weekend.

After all this I will post a picture from the wedding :)

So I never wear dresses or girly things and this might be a stupid question

what do I do with a clutch when sitting at the table? When I get up I can leave it on the chair, but when seated where does it go?

this is all such new ground for me. I never cared about makeup or dresses or shoes. Oh god I have to buy shoes.

EDIT:

what do you guys think of this one. I don't want to spend a fortune

That purse is exactly the matronly kind of bag I was recommending against BUT! My opinion is irrelevant if you like it, because if you like it you will rock it with confidence.

I love people's responses! I think that is a fun clutch, it looks cute in the silver and the champagne colors. Too bad they don't have a pink to match those shoes.

If you have a charming Charlie store nearby, that might be a place to check out. Their accessories are fun and don't break the bank.

Way to go and hope you have a blast!

Petty, hell, yes. And what's wrong with "petty," I should like to know?

Seriously, it is petty and, as someone already said, quite human, gloriously, dizzyingly human. Since it's been a while since you've seen your husband, would you have a legitimate reason to send him a photo? That would work better for your head-highness, I think. If not, does someone else who'll be at the wedding have contact with him? I understand the temptation, but I'm wondering if you might feel even better if you let the idea go -- lower the level of importance he has in your day-to-day thoughts and functioning.

Hell, send me the picture and I'll get it to him!

I guess I'm torn on the issue.

Anyway, back to important things. Your dress is pretty, very nice choice. Silver sandals will do it. While you're shoe-shopping, also consider champagne or pewter, whether sandals, slingbacks or open-toed. I'd prefer something that shows at least some foot, sexier than a closed shoe. If you choose open-toed, hope for a pair that shows some toe "cleavage." Lots of people, including men people, think it looks sexy.

You'll be a dancing queen.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
