Wow!! Lady in Red!! You look beautiful!

Ms. Arabesque - You inspired me to go RED! You look stunning, Lady in Red... Just a casual outfit (very loose after recent surgery) for the holidays and, appears to match our guest room at Hotel Greenbrier...Haha. Do you all like the new palazzo sweat style pants this year? I thought I'd give them a try - but hard to wear big clothes again after years of obesity. I think I prefer more fitted. Also, treated myself to these

red spectators...

Happy new year everyone.

You look stunning in red too @Sophie7713. I’m a bit the same about oversized clothing too since my weight loss. I love a wide keg pant as you know but I look for those that fit neatly around the waist and hips. But loose fit palazzo style casual pants are super comfy. I have a couple of pairs of the elastic waist wide leg pants in linen and viscose I wear when pooping out to the shops.

PS - Love those loafers with the cut out sides and contrasting colours. Fun.

Looking great! Very colorful and fun!
I also stay away from looser clothes because I feel restricted by all of the additional folds of fabric, movement and noise they create. But I’m trying to let go of the extreme form fitting clothes too because they are beginning to feel restrictive in a different way.

omg same.

in the immediate years after WLS i would always wear snugger fitting clothes because i felt they "highlighted" my skinniness more.

these days (and basically the past 3 or so years), outside of my workout gear and the odd fancy-night-out, i wear way more relaxed-fit clothing. its just waaaaay more comfy, lol.

as cher horowitz would say: I know it sounds mental, but sometimes I have more fun vegging out than when I go partying. Maybe because my party clothes are so binding. 😂😂

Went to a Christmas gathering last night & decided to finally wear this dress: a little red cheer. Bought it from The Outnet earlier this year (bargain Victorua Beckham - Whoo hoo!) but was saving it for a ‘special occasion’ then decided every occasion is special so I should just wear it. Anyone else save clothing for some nebulous future ‘special event’ & then don’t wear it as no event is special enough or am I the only crazy one?

I love the VB dress.

I always keep an eye out for ones in a good deal but haven't seen full length like that (I hate my ankle and calf area being on show). Dress is lovely and you look fab.

I always liked VB dresses too - very elegant and well tailored so was so glad to find this one. Have another I’m saving for my niece's wedding (in October) but unfortunately paid full price for that one. Am keeping my eye out for another bargain one.

I used to say my legs were only good from the ankles down. 😁 Though my legs look better now since my weight loss (calves aren’t so big), I still like a longer line for certain dresses. Pretty easy for us shortees though. Tee hee! This dress is probably tea length or just below the calf on taller girls.

So this outfit is nothing special, throw on a sweater and some booties and it is pretty much what I wear to work every day.

What is special is that these are my favorite style of jeans that I bought in multiple pairs and sizes. This particular pair has been hanging in a closet for years!!

It takes a lot for me to lose weight in my hips and things but I’m finally able to wear these size 16 pants again!!! I have lost about 50 lbs and have dropped from a size 20 to a size 16!! And I am loving it! (After these are too big though, I’m going to officially having to start shopping for pants again!)

[Arabesque 7,398]

Congratulations @Chatterboxdea. Love you’ve been able to shop your wardrobe for clothing as you’ve been dropping sizes. Wonder if they still make those jeans & if you can get them in smaller sizes as you need them?

[Lilia_90 516]

Was on a mini vacay, and it was coooold 🥶

Here’s one of the outfits I wore. The jumper is quite loose but didn’t look too shabby I guess!

They discontinued the style. They are curvy skinny from Gap Outlet. I wish they still made them because they are the best pair of skinny jeans that I have found for people with hips and butts.

I’ve found the Aeropostale Curvy Premium skinny leggings fit well on a curvy figure. They also come in short which is good for me :) I think they come in long as well for those of you who are blessed with more height.

Damn. What a shame. Hate when they discontinue clothing especially basics like jeans, t-shirts & so on (or lipsticks, nail polishes, foundations, shoes, etc., etc.). Seems like they only do it my favourites.

Good opportunity to try different brands and styles though. You may find a different cut more flattering on your shrinking body. Who knows what exciting things you may find.
