Can I borrow two inches? That would make you a nice 5'5" and me 5'2" putting me at goal weight tonight! You have got the coolest walk-in closet.

I didn't know that. Haha. Do your girls like Target? Found the coolest outdoor coat there today. And, I did note some Champion brand items in their sports/athletic department. Worth checking out. Maybe Santa owns some stock in Champion and will disperse the products this season for his shareholders! ;]

Oh Silly Kitty, I do apologize for posting tonight my new adventure in plastics and questions asked on your thread. I just now read the title of the thread, and back read several posts. It was not my intention to impose here or post inappropriately. So sorry. Perhaps, there is a general plastic surgery thread? I'll look for one.

Most definitely. He took liberties, I feel, from a point of arrogance and ignorance! The extra skin on our newer figures is not simply a vanity issue as he implied (what a twit) - Especially for us petite body types... I've noted this extra skin weighs me down, effects my balance and posture. Tight foundations are not healthy for our organs. Corsets be damned for the previous women of yesteryear. Can you even image being tied up in one for the sake of fashion! I also find a size smaller pant (not the stretchy kind) is more appropriate - if not for all the tummy flesh and muffin top dilemma. I hope he did not steal your joy and anticipation. Will just call him Dr. Clueless.

This month, I have begun serious research, assessing costs, time lines and interviewing plastic surgeons. I am so grateful for this thread. No one can truly understand this journey or its unique stages. I am looking into a breast lift and tummy tuck to address the abdominal loose skin. I can live with the bat wing arms. I have met with two surgeons thus far. One wants to do a belt, the other much less invasive. Tomorrow, I visit a female surgeon. I really liked the surgeon I met today, but he is booked thru August 2020 unless a cancellation - which is doubtful given his excellent reputation. I had hoped to have surgery this winter to allow for plenty healing time before our 25th anniversary gala May 17, 2020. While I know everyone heals differently - do you think procedures done in January or February give enough time? I am still loosing currently, and am aware of the 3-6-9 or 12 year wait thru maintenance for plastics. Do you feel that is a definite hard and fast rule? Am I rushing this too much? How did you know your personal target weight? I think I might be an inches girl more than weight? I have adopted healthy eating and 100 oz. water per day down. I adhere strictly to the wisdom + suggestions from The Obesity Code, Big Ass Salads and A Pound of Cure. I found each author and book refreshing, vindicating and honest... After years of struggle, frustration and mixed messages managing a serious weight problem. Your thoughts and experience would be so much appreciated. Thank you.

This is all so exciting Silly Kitty! Who cares about a sable fur or the diamond ring when Santa baby can deliver all your wishes (body parts, haha) come true. Short of porn star, love it!

Love it - the jacket and the entire look you pulled together!

Our cooler temperatures have finally arrived! No need for the heat or air conditioning. Perfecto. But, I was caught off guard with no winter weather clothes to wear. Oh boy. All the 1, 2 and 3X's discarded months ago. Loving these long sleeves, cotton/spandex bottoms (like wearing pajama's) with comfy crops - I found over this past weekend. And, I just couldn't resist these fun shoes for a little red holiday dress on order plus, the Christmas bell collar for Bobby, our wire fox terrier.

How would these boots and belt look with your new black pants suit? With such a pretty waist line and figure eight, it may give you another look. Pant suits are so versatile. I thought it was really flattering on you!

And, since many of us are liking the snake skin boots... these are pretty snazzy in a flat version by Steve Madden.

Steve Madden carries some comfortable and true to size flats in his fall collection you may want to peruse. When I saw this pair, I thought of the cream sweater cousin in gold mentioned earlier. :]

Oh, I forgot to add - Yes, these are Rothy's. Love them! Have four pairs now. I dropped one full shoe size, and all my incredible collected classic shoes $$$$ over the years - no longer fit and went to thrift shop + consignment Heaven. I find Rothy's so comfortable, stylish and affordable $ given that I will need to replace every shoe in the wardrobe. I also like All birds for really casual comfy. Both brands constructed from re-purposed materials, too! ;]

Hip, modern and sensational! And, the beaux might seriously want to consider keeping this Kitten under lock and key. I'm surprised you even made it to the restrooms... that some incredibly handsome, international pilot and co-pilot didn't whisk you away to Europe hailing Come Fly with Me! Meow! Seriously, though, you look absolutely beautiful in your stylish winter white. And, the boots are simply to die for.

We can't wait to see your first mini-goal finale post! Wahoo, a celebration, indeed!

Business meets yesterday. Giggling, because these were my first official selfies! ;]

Ooh la la, this is truly a fab outfit on you! I think it really flatters your wonderful curves and very pretty petite lines. Also, adds height like Ms. SSS said. I'm not agreeing with the beaux on this one. AND, those boots... think your East coast twin can borrow them? ;]

What a crack-up! LOL! A He Man for sure...

A good question! Not sure I have totally figured that one out yet. Asked hubby if he'd wait outside the powder room to help me with the very long back zipper and/or assist with any other unforeseen mechanical problems. True to He Man form, it appeared more interesting from his vantage point to go back into powder room together vs. returning to the cocktail party! Haha. ;]

Love them all! These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do... One of these days these boots are going to walk into each our closets! Edited Nancy Sinatra lyrics a bit. ;]

I concur! I think we have a budding new Vogue or WWD model in our midst... ;]

This is better - a really dramatic, flattering and wonderful look for you. It so complements your hair, too. Hooray!!!! to stepping out of your comfort zone into a little black cocktail dress for work gala. A true classic.

Thank you for the inspiration, Silly Kitty! It is truly one of my favorite outfits that make me feel 10 feet tall! ;] Absolutely, the fashionista twins! Have you been wearing your pants suit lately? Really versatile. Here's a close up of the seamstress magic. She took the fabric belt and added a more structured, better laying collar. Then, to my surprise - matched up the crane necks which I thought gave it a neat finished look. If you do wear it again... take another picture.

Do I hear fashion police sirens! Busted. I am definitely a copy cat. Another petite posted this wonderful jump suit a few months ago, and I just loved it on her! And, hailed her very good taste. It is the perfect garment for me. The elongated silhouette for this shorty; sleeves that conceal my bat wings; incredibly comfy flowing fabric AND a tropical twist (we have cranes strolling about everywhere)! Seriously, though, I hope no offense. I believe we live on opposite coasts, and doubt we will show up at the same dinner party. Tonight, I wore it to a cocktail party... I had my seamstress re-work the V top that was too low, hem, a nip and tuck here and there. Found the belt on sale at Macy's.

I want that sock monkey! You look really nice in red...

Wow. Meow! I love it. You are looking absolutely sensational... with each progressing photograph!!!!
