Rain, rain, go away! The clouds have sucked the color out of my wardrobe. That and I need to do laundry tonight.
Re: Humpday OOTD (Wednesday)
My outfit is lacking inspiration.
We were up half the night with DS. I came down with his cold last night. I am working a 12 hour day today. It is STILL RAINING. I would have worn sweatpants if it was allowed.
And I left my hair curly today, due to the rain and it being SO much faster.
Where's the flower louloudi?
I am also so damned sick of the constant rain. Supposedly it is going to be nice here tomorrow, I'll effin believe it when I see it.
I have a few saved up from earlier in the week-
Daycare is SO exhausting!

I have a repeat but I want to show my new jewelry
I finally got my hair to cooperate with me and I am liking it more.... these are the earrings.
These are close up of the earrings.
One of the necklaces. I got 2
The watch:)
Peachy, I love you in skirts. And I particularly love the skirt with the poppies on it!
Louloudi, you do always look great!
My kids take my picture when they get home from school so I'm gonna be an AW and add my OOTD a day behind. So this is what I wore yesterday. Lucky jeans, handmade top, hot mess hair.
Click me, click me!
Peachy - love the skirts.
Anther - your pics aren't showing up for me.
Everyone else looks very nice too.
Sorry my mirror is dirty.
HAB, I want your hips. I have no hips and I'm intensely jealous.
A few things:
1. Please ignore my shoes, because I only wore them to drive in and hadn't changed them yet. And yes, they're green suede, because I'm not me without ugly shoes.
2. My wedding rings are being resized, so this morning I put on this giant ugly cocktail ring that KHC got out of a vending machine, and H was like, "That is seriously ugly and huge," and I was like, "THIS IS THE SIZE OF MY LOVE FOR YOU, JERKFACE," and then he got a panicked look on his face and said, "People are going to think I bought you that."

my outfit is a repeat but i tried on the bridesmaid dress for my bff's wedding yesterday and i fit in a size smaller. woo hoo! i still have a lot of time to lose more weight too!
Thanks! And I love this conversation. Size of my love for you ::snort::

I tried the skirt again today. I think I might just have to give up. I'm really not that bottom heavy. I tried a more fitted black shirt today too. Feel free to give me feedback! I don't want to be frumpy any more!

Tuck in your shirt.
I live in skirts when it is warm and can't pull off that type of skirt unless the shirt is tucked in.

First of all - you have a very cute figure and your hair looks great. I think this outfit is more flattering on you than yesterdays and you've not looked "frumpy" either day.
I would do something that gives you a more defined waist. Could you tuck the shirt in the skirt? You also have a very nice chest - what about a long maxi dress like this for the summer? You could get it in petite if you think it'll be too long on you.

Also - if you don't want your shoulders showing you could pair it with a cardi
Yes, or maybe wear a shirt that is more fitted all the way through to the bottom.
That sounds hot.
Also - your new sig pic is just beautiful. I melt every time I see her.
Thank you!
I seriously need some new clothes. I'm limping by with a few things here and there, and buying new stuff when I'm desperate...but I really don't want to sink a bunch of money into nice clothes to have them not fit in a month.
So, yeah...this is all I've got. LOL.
Jeana, you look great! Congrats on the weight loss. I prefer your hair lighter than what it is now, though - more like what it is in your avatar. But your figure is amazing!
ETA: When I was losing weight and didn't want to drop a bunch of cash on transition pieces, I shopped at Goodwill like a mad woman for bottoms. I found some great jeans and skirts, especially, for like 6 bucks each.
LOL! I haven't colored my hair in like a year!
So I guess this is my natural color. I considered lightening it up for summer. I might just do that! And thanks for the compliments!
