Thursday Fashion Post

I hit my personal weight goal last week and went shopping over the weekend. I bought 2 pairs of skinny jeans, size 2P and 3/4, some bras and panties that fit, a cool pair of boots that fit, and a couple of  tops. I have to return some pants that I bought, because, if I lose another 8 lbs, they will be too big. Where do people that weigh 110 lbs buy clothes that fit? I saw my PCP today, and he thought 110 might be an ideal weight for me, since I am only 4'11."  I'll give it a whirl, since the weight seems to be dropping, so I'll continue to do what I'm doing and see how close to 110 lbs that I can get. I was actually 117.5 on my scale this AM and 118.8 lbs at the office.

Shopping is so much fun, now that things fit, but I have trouble imagining or seeing myself as small. It does take the head awhile to catch up with the body.

I also have four furballs that give me alot of furballs on my clothes.

 I really  like  the  size  1 and even 3  jeans  from  walmart , the LEI  brand .   I look for 1 long which isnt  long enough for me  except  with  sneakers  but U  look  tinier  than me height wise ...

I dont  think theyre  a particularly junior  cut in terms of rise  .. theyre  right below the belly button....

I would  call the  tailoring style conservative MIssy actually    very gentle size wise  because they contain spandex .. and super cheap to boot .

These  are definitely my go- to jeans when i feel  too fat  to wear  low rises or  unforgiving  jeans w/out spandex ....or am just going to home depot, the backyard , the grocery  store  or my construction site ...

incidentally   rises  are RISING   Mom  jeans are   coming back  .. (  well to a DEGREE  ..that DOESNT mean  wear  Ur big - thighed  baggy looking small jeans from the eighties  and imagine they look current lol ....) please don't forget  SPANDEX  and LYCRA  were  added to denim in the intervening three decades (  a fashion LIFETIME  or even THREE ) !!!!!!!!  

The MC Hammer look is definitely still OUT lol  .... 

Thank you for the tip on jeans at Wal-Mart. I am only 4'11, so everything is long on me. My PCP would like me down to 110, which will put me in an even smaller size. Where do small people buy clothes? Maybe, I'll have to start checking out the junior dept, but I'm older, so some of styles may not be appropriate. I would rather have this problem, than be 210 lbs at 4'11."

Spandex is great!!! My old jeans are definitely big-thighed baggy looking, which I can't wear any longer. I prefer the modern waist, hitting just below the belly button, since my waist seems to be large.

I love your fashion tips!!!

I'm having clothes issues at my house.  My husband has so many clothes that we don't have a place for them.  I'm so tired of baskets of clean laundry in my bedroom.  He won't go through his clothes and get rid of anything.
 
We have a house with HUGE closets and he has 2 of them.  No room left in them and I'm so selfish, I won't give him space in mine. 

I try to ignore it, but one has week a month, I want to take all the stuff that doesn't have a place and just get rid of it.  It doesn't help, that I am the Queen of Purging my closet these days. 

DH has many fine qualities, so I try not to whine about this.  It is that week though.

 Heh heh  ... here's  what i did  with MY hubby's  incredibly overstuffed  drawers and  walk in closets .

I pulled the  stuff out ( one closet at a time and said - Ok we're going to have a try on session.... 

I made him try EVERY   SINGLE piece on ... ( that is  AFTER  I winnowed out  95%  for  ugly color  , polyester content  , stretched out worn n faded  ....  )  

MUST I tell U  that  9 out of TEN  didnt even  FIT  ?  ( and if they did they fit  correctly in the EIGHTIES  ?!!! ) 

he ended up keeping maybe five pieces ....  and five garbege bags full wentto the curb  where they BELONGED  .

Incidentally  he doesnt show up  looking like bozo  the clown these days either  .. because I  gave him  some clothes  from Brooks I  helped design ...  which  he ( and everyone he knows )  tells him make him look REALLY good .

So he's a PROUD  boy ... I'm not ashamed to be seen with him ... and even the closets  look neat ;) 

I did something very similar to my DH when we first got married.  I got rid of all of his Disco wear and his last leisure suit.

Since we've been married, he's become a clothes guy.  I think you are right and we need to do this again.  Sounds like a plan for Sunday!

To get the fuzzy balls off use a  razor...like a woman's or mans throw away kind. Get ones that have 2 blades...but be very careful when you use it not to cut the fabric. But I use it and it works great for me, It does take a bit of time not to long but if you have clothing item you love then to me its worth it  :)

 I wore a Sigrid Olsen wrap dress this week.  Got tons of compliments.  It was funny because I have had it for five years and it never actually fit before but now I feel sexy in it too.  My friends say i should wear it a lot because it won't fit for long.  Weird how things get big so fast.  I still cringe when i put on a pair of jeans because I'm afraid they will be too tight to zip and instead, they are big. Gotta love it!

As for the laundry and men----my friend gave me the best suggestion.  Since I can't trust hubby to do the laundry right, I do it all, BUT in return he has to do all the toilets.  I think that's a fair exchange.
And I only shrunk one of his wool sweaters.  Still think it's his fault for putting it in the wash anyway. LOL
