Mixing it up........

If I were to stay exactly where I am right now (for the rest of my life? haha) with my band I would be a happy camper. It's in really good spot. I am finding I am rarely hungry. By that, I mean I'm in a place where I don't usually eat solid food until around 1pm... and I have no inclination to. And when I do eat, I'm managing a whole new range of foods with very little in the way of sliming or PB's. I am happy to eat just a half cup of food (most times) and almost always fill up really quickly. The green zone when you reach it is just perfect. My band is perfect.


I feel quite comfortable at the weight I am and that is both good and bad. Actually, the only bad is the way my wallet is feeling. Empty, lol. I HAVE to stop clothes shopping. I seem to buy something almost every week.

A long while back I wrote about how I was loving the fact I could now wear scarves and with winter coming up this is exciting news for me again. Not that I let it stop me just because it was summer. Instead I wore the long thin ones in different colours that you drape or loop around your neck. But though I loved to wear them I was still finding, even though I had lost a whole lotta weight, they still just didn't look quite right. I often went online to find different ways of wearing them, or how others did it.

The other day, I was wearing jeans, a flat pair of shoes, a top and black cardie and it because it was cold first thing in the morning, picked out a long, pink scarf shot through with blue and gold thread, literally threw it around my neck a couple of times and yowsa...it looked pretty damn good. I stood there thinking, well, there's a first for everything. Now I can actually wear these suckers and not feel self conscious because I looked like I belonged in that scarf. It was a great feeling. 


Does anyone else ever go online to try and figure out how to put an outfit together? I do - often. I was trying to work out how to wear a short-length trench coat? I have my royal blue one (which I've since figured out I don't actually like that much lol I still haven't worn it..) and now I'm chasing an off-white or cream trench. One with no belt, maybe some good sized buttons but definitely no stupid zips. What possessed me to buy the one I did, other than the lovely colour was a momentary lapse of judgement I think. Anyway, I'm always trying to figure out what's too much or just enough to add, (accessory wise) and what are the different ways to put a look together. Slowly I'm learning. 

Love these looks. 

This is the trench I want but I'm thinking the look might be too young for me (claps hands to cheeks in horror!! Could that be possible? lol) 

LOVE this look. Now this I could wear!!

And this one!!

Sighhhh - so casual, yet so not. 

Isn't this the most beautiful dress? This look is just amazing. Again, not sure if I would get away with it (especially with the bare legs) but the way she is put together is mesmerizing.  

It also helps I'm finally adding some quality pieces to my wardrobe. I bought this beautiful sky blue shirt the other day (a Liz Jordon) a black pair of designer jeans and these gorgeous dressy charcoal slacks with a pin stripe. I'm having a ball with my new clothes. Does it show? lol.


Hope you all have a rocking Wednesday. See you again soon.
