Waaah I'm just whining
I ordered a really cute sweater dress and some boots (also some flats) from Express, and I was so excited to see that they came today. I already decided to wear them with white tights to work tomorrow, and I was PUMPED about it. I try on the dress and...meh. I've definitely gained some weight (stupid all-inclusive) and it looks like I'm not going to be wearing this dress until I lose it. I had no waist in the stupid thing. Which makes me sad.
I might try and pick up a wide belt (the skinny one I have looked TERRIBLE) this weekend and see if that helps, but I'm still super bummed that I can't wear my outfit tomorrow. And I also feel slightly ridiculous that I already had my outfit planned out...I might figure out some other outfit to wear with the boots, to make myself feel better.

Re: Waaah I'm just whining
Bummer. I was going to suggest a wide belt, too, so hopefully that works and you look smokin' hot with a tiny little waist. :-) But I know how disappointing that feeling is. I always plan to wear my new clothes as soon as I get them, and then I get super bummed when they don't fit like I want them to.
I just ordered some new clothes and I'm kinda scared for them to get here. I debated forever on what sizes to actually order since I *know* I gained about a billion lbs eating pasta and drinking wine like crazy on our HM. I hope they fit...
Boo! Stupid dress! or Stupid candy?
Am I the only one who thinks winter clothes in general just don't look as good on people who weigh more than 85 lbs.? I have yet to find a sweater that doesn't make me look dumpy or pregnant.

a) i gained a buttload of weight. but with that said, i started at the gym again, have a personal trainer, and bought myself one new pair of jeans and some sweaters so i could at least wear clothes that fit me properly until i lose the weight.
2)i would be so pissed about the dress not fitting right.
2A)i ALWAYS pick out my outfit ahead oftime (night before). ESPECIALLY when it is new clothes. so i would be especially bummed if i couldnt wear my new outfit that i had planned ahead.
in summary: girlllll, i feel your pain.

Oh I know I've gained weight and I feel blah too. I keep saying "Going to the gym" and then I never do. However, I have been trying to cut back on how much I eat and cooking healthier.
Bummer about the dress. I would've been bummed too.
I guess I'm in the minority but I love sweaters and I'm by no means 85 lbs. Of course I hate my arms and sweaters are a lovely cover up so now that all my insecurities are out, I'm hushing.
