OOTD thread? Good idea or bad idea?

So I was thinking... lately I've been feeling really confident in how I look in my new clothes and new body, and I've taken a lot more pride in putting together my outfits every day. It's been a great, yet unexpected side effect of my weight loss. Vanity was certainly not on the top of my list of reasons for having VSG... I'm not even sure it was in the top 5. And I've never thought I wasn't attractive because of my weight, in fact in some ways I preferred my body before (hello, small boobs)! But I have to admit that the number of selfies I've been taking had definitely increased as I've felt better about myself, and particularly about my new clothes. 

So I was wondering, if I started posting an outfit of the day thread here, if any of you would feel like participating and sharing your outfits?! If you think it's a dumb idea, that's okay! I won't take offense! But I thought it might be fun for some of us to let our selfie flags fly and be proud of our new found fashion choices together!

 

Opinions?

So there are days I wish someone would see my outfit, better yet the pride and confidence the outfit gives me-- so I'd do it.

Posting pics to the message boards seems to be a bit of a mystery now though

Hmm... it does seem to be problematic trying to do it from my phone... maybe I'll try my laptop later tonight.

I think its a nice idea, posting pictures is a little hit or miss for me right now, plus I'm no fashionista. LOL My clothes lately has been tights & a jersey for bike riding & the various biking clothes I wear to work, all the other days is a t shirt & jeans.

I so hope that Ashley (Project Runway winner) clothes really take off, so nice a big girl who designs for big girls is out there front & center in the fashion world. I couldn't pull off those flower head pieces though, I'd look like an idiot, but 20 years ago I would've rocked that **** all day long!

Can you believe that Ashley won?  I'm so happy and excited for her.  I never thought they would give her the win, but she deserved it.

There's a huge (no pun intended) market for her fashions and it's about time someone recognized the potential.  Those flowered headbands, oy.  I understand what she was looking to achieve, but again, oy.

I was so excited for Ashley throughout the whole season and I hope she makes it big! I loved most of her clothes and I loved her Fashion Week clothes. I was rooting for her the whole time and I thought she did great work. I was not a fan of the flower pieces but I could see how they made sense on a runway.

I think it would be fun but I wouldn't participate because A) I' not working right now so generally I am not wearing things that would need to take pics of lol and B) there is no way I can handle uploading pics on this site. It frustrates me every time I try to do it. I've managed it twice.
