Good morning everyone! How are you doing this fine Sunday morning.

I've been missing for a few days but have been able to get on and keep up with most of you.

I was thinking of posting my "weekly fashion post" anyway, since I've been seriously delinquent in that.

So - my question for today is: If you go to church, what do you wear?

I've just started going back to church the past few weeks and have found its MUCH different (dress wise) than it was when I was growing up. I wore a dress last week, basically because it was more comfy on my incisions, but felt WAY overdressed. Today I'm in blue jeans, a nice red sweater and brown boots...

Good monrning. I'm supposed to get a call from the personal shopper at Talbots this week. I need a new winter white turtle neck sweater. I think I want her to look for things in teal and camel tan too.

Last Thursday was a girlfriends' birthday, and there were 4 of us that went on a shopping marathon.. Put a serious dent in my credit card... now I'm trying to remember what I bought - lol. A couple of sweaters and camis, some jammies... leggings, white tunic shirts, I know there was more... just can't remember now...

I love winter white. I think it looks dressy and classy.

Hi Jody, good to hear from you. I've had the most fun shopping! Now that I am 10# from goal I figure it is safe to buy a few things. I bought 2 new bras and some pj's,my old pj's were falling off. I bought some shirts and a fleece jacket from the gap. I bought 2 new pairs of shoes (even my old shoes felt loose!) and a new winter coat. I still have 4 dresses that fit for church, they were clingy type material that fit any size really, they just look much better now. I had to buy all new uniforms for work. I also bought 2 new work out outfits. I just have to buy a few things at a time to build up my closet again but it has been a blast!

I have to go through my shoes. I have quite a few pairs now that don't fit me anymore - just flop off my feet. I went from a 6 1/2 wide to a regular 6 1/2 or even a 6 at times.

Sounds like you're having fun with buying new clothes! Good for you! I'll be hitting the resale shops and thrift stores this upcoming week. I want a cream color pea coat. I DON'T want to pay full price for one either.... Of course machine washable will be a plus!!

I have a double closet in my bedroom - and they're BOTH full... and everything in them fits....

Hard to NOT buy stuff when I get such great deals at thrift stores. Have a pair of GAP jeans on today and my girlfriend just loves how they look on me. $4 at the thrift store...

Good morning!! Glad to see you are doing good this lovely Sunday morning.

Churches are much more relaxed in dress in the mainstream Christian churches around here...there are still a few around here that the dress is more formalized. I have not been to a church since my mom died 7 years ago but trust me when I say I have been talking to God a lot over the years. It's always hard to go back...so that's awesome you have.

You're outfit sounds so cute!! I am itching to go on a shopping spree. I am getting more comfortable in the size I'm in and the styles out there. I think it was a challenge at first and that I had to find what I didn't like to find what I do like...sounds weird I know. BUT there was and still is a "fat girl" mentality when I shop...I still dress like I'm 225+ (baggy fits, etc) so I think I am having fun working through that.

Shoes...OMG I love shoes and purses now more than preop. I don't have any boots though...must now add to the collection. DH will LOVE that...lol

Ok, this is going to sound pitiful. I have a black skirt that I wear every Sunday and try to wear different shirts or sweaters.
I only have 2 pair of jeans and 1 pair of kaki's that fit. I keep saying I'm going shopping but haven't made it yet.

I really really want to get me some boots!! I haven't worn any since I was 20 years old. I've been looking at some, but I'm not sure the kind I want. I want to wear them with jeans or with a skirt. I can't wear the spike heels so I need lower heels.

Good question!

I only have ONE SUIT THAT FITS right now. Here is what I'm wearing today. It also gives you a nice picture of the office where I spend most of my life! :)

Sunday mornings I wear suits. Sunday evenings I wear something more trendy and fun. Sometimes that's a pair of skinny jeans with heels and a nice shirt, other times it's a fun dress, etc. Our morning services are much more formal than the evening ones.
