Yeah, pretty is as pretty does. My daughter-in-law thinks I'm "cute".

Can't wait to wear my size 6 jeans tomorrow. They are the loose/stretch kind of jeans but it is nice to see a size 6 anyways! woo hoo! Going to wear a new pink top that I saw on clearance today. I think I'm a shop-a-holic lately!

Tonight I am in my Betty Boop pink pj bottoms (one of them, I have 2 pairs of Betty Boop pj bottoms) and my blue tank top. Actually, these are capri bottoms. And, all my pjs are getting quite loose. I may have to go buy some more. I love Betty Boop. Do you realize she was probably the first one to actually wear a miniskirt, years before they became popular? My dh even bought me a Betty Boop phone cover for my cell phone, in pretty girly pink. What a sweetie!

I'm wearing my "new" jeans today and a t-shirt. I shouldn't be wearing this t-shirt because it's too big, and I actually already gave it to DH so that he could wear it (he got to wear it on Thursday), but I have to laundry today and I want comfort too

Going to go through my closet this afternoon to find something for church in the morning. I can't wear what I originally planned (skirt and sweater), because it's only going to be in the low 20's in the morning and I don't want to freeze. I have to try on my dress slacks and hope that a pair still fits. The ones that I wore last week are about 2 sizes too big, and I felt kind of frumpy.

DH and I are going to go through our wardrobes tomorrow and weed out some too big clothes. He has to keep his work clothes until we can afford to go shopping for him again. Finding him used nice clothes is hard because of his size.

Did you decide what you are going to wear to church this morning katie? I've decided to wear black dress pants and dress shoes with a real petty blue top. I'll probably pull my hair back and curl my bangs, wear make-up and some jewlery that has black in it to match. Whitening my teeth this morning as we speak which gives me a little boost too for smiling. With all the tea I drink I have to whiten my teeth more then most .

I'm all in black today. Black skirt, long-sleeve mock turtle neck with a black vest over it, and black boots. Gold earrings. I am going to be warm today. Also, a black coat and a black beret. Right now it's only 26 outside, supposed to be in the 50s later today, but I am keeping my creaky old bones warm this morning.

I spent about an hour picking out an outfit last night, tried on 6 different combinations before I settled on something... then Austin refused to go and I couldn't go :(

I'm wearing my new jeans (I washed the mud out of them yesterday), and a cute top. My hair even cooperated today and it's just loose and wavy.

The outfit that I picked out for church is really pretty... a dressy black suit that I only got to wear one time before I started gaining weight. It's too loose already, and I had really wanted to wear it one more time, but I can't see wearing a suit and heels to do the laundry in, so it's going up on eBay today. I'm going to go through all of my clothes today and get rid of everything that is too big. I'd rather have only a few clothes than have to go through my closet everyday looking for something that fits. If I make enough on eBay, there will be a mini shopping spree in my future!

I remember going through my closet the first few months Katie and ending up with not even 10 shirts that were for exercise, everyday and church - lol. Have fun with this. It's great to look in the closet and have nothing to wear because you've gotten to small!

Katie, the incredible shrinking woman! Isn't it nice to get rid of clothes because they are too big?

When I lost the first 50 or so lbs, I gave away bunches of clothes, including 2 of my very favorite coats. I found a couple of ladies who could really use them, and asked them if they would consider taking them, and both were pleased to get them. Now my girls are both either my size or bigger, so they get first choice. I just love it when someone can really, really use something, and actually wear it when they are given it.

I'm back in my cruddies, black sweats with paint stains, but I'm catching up on some much-needed housecleaning. I wore a beret this morning, so now I have a major case of hat hair. Maybe I need to go out in the wind and let it blow awhile!

I chose black again today. I'm not in a black mood, it's just what I pulled out!

I'm putting gel insoles in my shoes to see if that helps with the knees. Doesn't change the fashion, just the feel.

I bought this shirt for $5 on clearance, my usual size, but it sure is loose! If I'd gone down a size, it would probably be too small. Oh, well.

Today I chose pair of pants with a herringbone pattern; they are fitting looser now. A raspberry color long-sleeved knit top and a black knit vest with gold buttons.

Tomorrow I am going in for a hair cut and hope she can give me some kind of style I can live with.

Ladies, it's time to come back and post your beauty tips and ideas!!!!

I'm wearing my pinstripe knit pants that are too big, but way comfy (the waist comes under my b**bs, and without shoes I walk on the cuffs), a light blue knit top with a collar and 2 little blue buttons on the front, and my black oxfords that are part suede on the toebox. Just perfect to catch up my filing that I've been trying to finish for the last week! Bending over file drawers requires comfortable pants that you can bend in.

I just got a pore cleaning tool at the $1 store and it didn't really do anything. Think I'll just stick to good ol' scrubbing of the face . Did my hair down today, wore my velvet purple shirt and goodwill low rise jeans and feel pretty good!

Today is a pair of greenish gray slacks and a dusty pink knit top with a turned down boat-neck collar (they call it a Marilyn collar), my little frog pin with the green eye, a new haircut, and since it's going to be warm, I'm going to wear my dusty pink sandals.
Tomorrow we'll be back to sweaters and warm shoes.
