More non black dresses 😃. I felt like maybe I needed to update my wardrobe but of course I have no where special to go

That blue & orange is a striking print & colour combination. I admire your confidence to wear colour. I’m always drawn to black first. Buying colour is a big decision for me (navy, red & white are my exceptions) & pattern can be harder.

My parents are prepping to downsize. They brought this when they came to visit me recently. Not only can I wear my high school letterman’s jacket, it’s actually roomy. And back then I thought I was fat!

How great is that @kristieshannon. Wear it proudly, even if it is a bit big (& how amazing is that!) … & being green it’s super fashionable at the moment.

Don’t have anything specific in mind to with the boots yet. With the heel height it may depend on how much standing & walking I’ll be doing. 😆😆

Another sunny day in Portland, another bikini pic. Besides my VSG, my boobs are my favorite investment I’ve made 😂

Thank you!!! I don’t often other any colors besides black so patterns were very adventurous of me. Recently I decided to update my wardrobe when I realized I haven’t done it in 2 years! I’m still keeping it capsule sized but adding a few special occasion pieces that I plan to wear despite having no special events to attend 🤡.
How is everyone one else doing? Life returning to normal? Events planned?

We’ve finally got a few vacay trips on the books after a 2+ year hiatus, so thats normal-ish.

Hopefully i’ve got some new OOTD’s coming as im currently on a shopping spree for some vacay clothes. Yay!

But in the meantime: more clothes pics, people! (Pretty please 😘)

Okay a clothing pxt. Bought the outfit about 2 months ago & first wearing. The shirt which is a cotton organza has these drawstrings you pull up to create the flouncy frill effect. Will have to put the hem up on the pants too. We had a coldish snap overnight (winter is coming) hence the leather jacket (the one I bought last year after much searching) but I only bought my summer brogues to my mum’s which look a bit off but …

So funny to be wearing coats & there’s @kristieshannon rocking a bikini & @GreenTealael brightening our day in colourful sunshiny dresses.

Got out of the habit of doing special things except for casual catch-ups. We keep saying we have to plan a dinner out, etc. but never get round to it. Don’t think Mother’s Day/7yr old niece birthday morning tea tomorrow counts.

Yayay! You’re baaaaaaaack

Looking super cool as always.

I cant see much of the shirt under the fab jacket, but i like the frill (im into frills/ruffles myself lately!)

But um, are your shoes big on you? Or is it the angle? Or are u blessed with bigger feet?

Wearing this cute set I bought in 2018 from a boutique. I finally fit back into it! Great for summer. Not at my goal weight yet and 3 months post op but surely getting there.

‘Blessed’ wth big feet 🤣🤣. Just the angle I think & the laser cutout work cause they fit well. Though I still have the odd pair I need to move on to a new life because they’re too big for me now. I’m a 37.5/38 which for a shortee like me is probably a little big. Average size feet less than average height.

That is a cute set @fourmonthspreop & it looks even cuter on you. The only sad thing is that it will be too big on you soon.

I really like the colors and patterns of this outfit . Also you look fabulous! ❤️

Finally, some new clothes to show!
Picked up a few dresses for upcoming island vacay. These are for daytime/the beach. The polka dot one is a little big, but i think i like it this way. Too many of my clothes are tight/slim fit and i need to expand my horizons.

[ms.sss 15,561]

…and these are for nighttime/dinners

The shorter dress is actually red (dunno why it looks so orange-y in the pic). I realized today when i was deciding on buying it that I have never owned/wore a fully red dress before! Go figure.

[Arabesque 7,221]

Great finds for your island holiday @ms.sss. ‘Sexy whistle!’ Can see you wearing them with a cocktail in your hand enjoying the sun & sea. Can’t believe you haven’t had a red dress before. You’d look so good in red. Must admit I sometimes struggle to find a true blue red. Was very excited to I find some red wide leg linen pants & matching fitted top in summer.

PS - Your hair has got so long.

I just realized my love of navy blue is well represented in my picture.

I just love seeing all of these photos of you beautiful and stylish people! 💜

Cheeseburgh, I am a 6th grade teacher and our school colors are navy and white. May I ask where you purchased your dresses? I'd like something navy (or navy and white) for the upcoming promotion ceremony. I haven't wore a dress in years!!!

Thank you.
