Calling ALL Fashionistas!!

I NEED your help!

It's no surprise that I am fashionably-challenged. Don't get me wrong, I love fashion! I love clothes and I definitely love shoes! I am just not good with pairing things for myself. So usually my outfits would consist of one and if I am lucky two good pieces and that's it. Since I am going to have to start buying new clothes for my newly shaped body (in the works), I thought I would get a little help from my fabulous fashionistas! You don't have to be a professional, just looking for help from those less fashionably challenged than I. Soooo. I thought this would be a great challenge for not only me but for you. Come on and "Dress Me Fabulous!"

Here's the deal. 

I will post an item of clothing that I own weekly. I would like for you to maybe tell me via a comment/email with what you would pair it with. You can include links to websites, send pics and such to get your point across and give me ideas. Lots of ideas are wanted here! Whatever and however you do it works for me. As I start building my wardrobe, I will post back pictures of my outfits using your advice. I know there are a ton of blogs that show their daily wear and I promise I read them every day but it's not the same as someone helping you with what you have.

Let's get started!

Dress Me Fabulous!

Here's the first challenge...

Old Navy - Women's Jersey Tie-Belt Maxi Dress

I bought this dress a few weeks ago and I cannot wait to wear it! No idea when or where I would wear it to but I cannot wait. BTW - I tend to do most of my shopping at places like Old Navy, Target, JCPenney (they have improved!) and Kohl's. I am willing to branch out depending on the cost of course.

Tell me, how would you wear this?

Please help!

30 Day Challenge Update

I am happy to report that I have not fallen off the workout wagon! In fact, I am doing pretty well and finally feeling great! Definitely a long time overdue.

Ok, so here is the update.

The hubby and I haven't exactly worked out everyday but we work out about 6-7 days a week. I have been working with the video series, "10 Minute Trainer," and am now incorporating some videos of P90x such as "Kenpo X." The hubby has been strictly doing P90x.

Our eating has changed but not to the extreme. I eat smaller portions and have more little meals throughout the day. I drink much more water than anything else. I do have my little naughty meals (not days) every once in a while but they are far and few at this point and usually followed up by a workout.

My Stats::
Height- 5'4"
Weight - 186 (down total of 8)
Bra - between 40C & 42C - dropped a cup size for sure
Tops: Large
Bottoms: 14 (comfortably but slowly getting smaller)

My clothes are fitting so much better at this point. As I mentioned above I am still around a 14 but it is comfortable and I can tell I am still shrinking. People are actually starting to notice too. They can see it in my face. I pretty much see the difference from my torso up. And again, I feel great! I feel  more energetic, less sluggish and my abdomen feels smaller. This is all very promising! :)

I currently do not have stats for the hubs as he is waiting until he has completed his goal in order to weigh in. I can tell you that he definitely has lost at least 10 pounds. His clothes are more loose and he is looking great!

Since I didn't list my goals the last time, I thought it would be great to talk about them now.

Main Goal:
Lose a total of 60 pounds

Small Goals:
Obviously I cannot control the number of pounds lost at a time but my first goal is to be a size 12 again. I have a couple of pieces of brand new clothing in size 12 that cannot wait to fit into. I also have a size 10 dress that I have had for almost 2 years that I'm ready to wear. I also believe that in losing the next 10 pounds, I should be able to at least start wearing my wedding ring again and 20 pounds or so will get me to my engagement ring! That I definitely cannot wait for, I am tired of not looking married. My hubs and I joke around that when we go out, it looks like he is out with his mistress ;)

I should note that I have no set time limits for these goals, I just need to do it!

Happy Anniversary To Us

Happy 3^rd Anniversary!

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
