Married Bio
KB have you been loosing the L.B.s or just toning? Either way, you look great!
Also, you look happy.
It's just the tears of a clown, ya'll. Life is still hard. But I'm happy because I feel like my hard work is paying off at the gym and I'm comfortable in my own skin. Haven't really lost weight it's just re-shifting.
And really, you should see my ass. That's the money shot in this dress. ;-)
katie.i.do, I also love that blue! It's a great color on you.
Target dress, vintage sweater, Target boots. Boring today.
Updated September 2012.
Photos are still blurry and I don't know what to do about that.
Dress and belt - Macy's (you may remember this dress from my Vegas trip); Shoes - Aldo (they are fabulous); cardigan - Gap.
My hair is still a trainwreck, but I'm getting it done today. Huzzah!
I feel self concious that my outfit is too fancy for work (dress is pleated chiffon will ruffly things at the bottom) so I tried to dress it down with my boots. I prefer the pumps though. I'm bringing both to work just in case.
11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
Everyone is looking so good! I feel slightly less frumpy today so I'm playing.
Sweater and skirt from Target, boots from Nordstrom.
I think this is cute, and I think I prefer the boots.

If by "stylish" you mean "IKEA," I totally agree with you.
I am wearing the pumps, but when I arrived at work and was overwhelmed by the smell of pig manure (we are right next to the "state of the art" pig barn) then had to walk on the gravel lot and over the tall weeds to get to my office, I felt a little silly for doing so.
11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
SB--love that dress. Super cute.
Katie--blue is for you. As everyone before me has said. :-)
Mashed--love that cardi color on you. Very pretty.
Moo-that's a cute necklace. And I like your color combo.
HT--I bought that shirt for my SIL for xmas. I wanted to keep it for myself, now I wish I had.
Nov--I want those shoes. Now.
Wendy--you look cute. Love the cheery yellow. And sadly yes, the dress isn't the right proportion for you. Does it come petite? Your midsection looks great in it.
Christin--very cheerful today. Love it.
TSD- you look skinny.
Winger--the cardi is much better with this dress. Cute dress, too!
Cali--you look good in red. Now lose Nelly's shoes.
LHC-I love the print of that dress. I like yellow.
Lisa-You look cute and chic. I like the pumps.
Audrey-I'd like to see the boots up close, por favor.
It does come in petite, but only on the interwebs. I'm tempted, but the original size is so off that I'm afraid. This means I'll wait until it shows up at the outlet store or ends up being in the $30-40 range on the web before I'll go for it.
I will say that I bought it in a small (I usually do small or medium) and I have it pulled as tight as the ties will allow me. It seems to run big.
Christen! Look how adorable and happy and COLORRRRRRR!!!ful you are!
TSD, I don't know who you think you're fooling here with you're "I don't take flattering pictures! I'm so fat!" because you look like a damn supermodel.And I love the necklace.
Winged, I agree with everyone on why this cropped cardigan works here but didn't in the other outfit. Love it here. Nice job.
Cali, you always look good in red. I've known that since I saw your underpants.
KB, I'm starting to hate you but I also want to hatesex you up.
Lucy, I love the print on that dress, but not sure if I love the sweater over it.
Lisa, you look adorable! I love that dress. I love it with the pumps, but the boots definitely work to dress it down a bit. Good call.
Audrey, I can hardly see you but you have a nice shape.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
Nevar! I sing to them each morning:
You are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring you dooooooooooown
Actually, I'll be ditching them soon. Either because the weather stops being rainy and I switch over to my Chucks or because I replace them with a different pair of white sneakers (these are maybe 6-7 months old, but they're already starting to feel uncomfortable....bastards).

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Do not buy another pair of white shoes. Do not.
we all fall down sometimes
brass and ballet flats
Seriously! How about grey, Cali?

I'm KB and I endorse this message.
I wear a 7.5 too Cali. My only tennis shoes are lime green (grellow!) Tretorns. So they won't fit your rainy requirement or your ridiculous need to match your outfit.
Otherwise I would send them to you in a freaking hot minute.

And what is it about sneakers that you need to wear them? Arch support?

It can't be that. Chucks have zero arch support right?

Hmm. Good point. I don't know the symptoms of foot AIDS.

HAHA. Thanks. I'm laughing because I'm not fishing. I swear. I have a healthy self esteem for the most part but I've always been vain. My issues are more related to post-baby body, the post dead mother body. Having a child made me feel bodily gross in ways I can't even discuss. And I was at my wedding weight before I conceived. So it was really hard to go back up. Then *bam* dead mother = very little food intake so I felt I was looking good again. Add in the jellybeans and cupcakes + split pants + turning 37 and I'm just not feeling good these days. I see my eyelids drooping, paleness, and other stuff and I'm all "ugh". It's like having a house where everything starts to go all at once and you don't have an emergency fund to make all the repairs.
Here is my late submission.
This is one of my favorite lounging around shirts. You'll probably see it a million times. I think it came from J.C. Penney of all places.
jewelry from Charlotte Russe. Creepy lighting from overhead lights. Hair pulled back in barrettes due to laziness. I feel like I probably look 15.
Lucy, I think that's my favorite dress so far.
Lisa, I love that outfit with the pumps. I want it for my very own.
