My first sweater dress ever

and no spandex, just fleece-lined tights underneath.

So funny, I just bought my first sweater dress.

It looks great on you! I think you could size down, and it would be even more flattering, emphasizing your hour glass figure :)

Thank you for the inspiration, Silly Kitty! It is truly one of my favorite outfits that make me feel 10 feet tall! ;]

Absolutely, the fashionista twins! Have you been wearing your pants suit lately? Really versatile. Here's a close up of the seamstress magic. She took the fabric belt and added a more structured, better laying collar. Then, to my surprise - matched up the crane necks which I thought gave it a neat finished look. If you do wear it again... take another picture.

That looks fantastic. I agree, that is better use for the fabric belt.

I have actually not worn mine yet, outside of trying it on and posting pics on here :blush: I'm a semi clothes hoarder, I have more far clothes than I actually need :unsure:

@FluffyChix you take off the belt, sling it over your shoulder like a WWE belt. You shimmy out of the top. So you're squatting over the toilet in your bra with the rest of your outfit gathered around your knees. It looks totally dignified, I promise :lol:

I bought the black leather trench is Italy last year, and as I mentioned, I'm a clothes hoarder, I had never worn it until yesterday

Love the entire outfit! That color is the bomb dot com on you!!!

@Sheribear68 Love the dress! (I also think you could use a smaller size...)

@sillykitty I feared that would be the case! LOL. Or else it would be like Something About Mary where he totally took off all his clothes to go potty. LOL. Hahaha at the "dignified" part!

@KaysMommy Agreed! Wanna see pics of the formal event!!!!

@MIZ60 I want all your boots!!! Will you 'dopt me? :D

@GreenTealael You, Lancelot and I will build a giant wooden badger...

then we'll loot everyone's closet! :) Love everyone's fashion sense!!!

I still just have one burning question for you and @sillykitty...

How do you pee in public while wearing this outfit? :D

popcorneatingemoji.jpg.771b4530ff45cf41decb55d41fba0a7e.jpg

A good question! Not sure I have totally figured that one out yet. Asked hubby if he'd wait outside the powder room to help me with the very long back zipper and/or assist with any other unforeseen mechanical problems. True to He Man form, it appeared more interesting from his vantage point to go back into powder room together vs. returning to the cocktail party! Haha. ;]

I had several jumpsuits that I wore going out in the 70's-----it was a huge PITA to have to use a public restroom especially because I always wore pantyhose underneath them to avoid VPLs. So much to hold on to, pull down and keep from touching the floor. And, of course, you have to go more often when you are out dancing and drinking....I think they are cute now but not for me.

I just ordered my first jumpsuit. One I’ve been eyeing from the Gap went on sale for over 1/2 off, so I pulled the trigger. I may have regrets when I have to pee!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Anyone else wake up to a nice freezing slap from Mother Nature this morning?

Okay so I’m working all late shifts this week, but no excuse not to head off to morning Pilates.

Oh and FYI guys.... that sweater dress is a size medium. Can’t even imagine myself in a small???

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
