Who are you and what have you done with my wife?

[Alexandra 55]

So saith my darling husband when he saw me in my new party blouse. This is not, shall we say, my usual style of dress. And it's a size 16.

ETA: Now that I've seen it online it doesn't look as cool in the photo as it does in person. There's a line of sequins along the neck and the ribbon is shiny satin. Y'all probably wear girly stuff like this all the time, but it's sorta new for me.

Great NSV Alex and a beautiful blouse! Great picture of you and the girls too!

[Mariposa Bella 3]

You look beautiful. Just beautiful..

[Alexandra 55]

Thanks! I sent this pic to my brother who hasn't seen me in several years. He said "Cool. I'm trying to think of an insult, but I really can't." (You'd have to know him to know that means he's utterly astounded, to the point of speechlessness. THAT'S a ginormous NSV right there, actually!!)

Don't you just love those kinds? They are the neatest ones of all! You have done a great job and should be very proud of yourself!

[Iluvharleys 15]

You need to make yourself a new avatar with that picture!

Alex,

You look fantastic! And your girls are adorable!

You look so wonderful...what a great color for you! What a cute thing for your husband to say....! It's great to have been privy to your transformation from your original photo... to the more recent ones. All I can say is: GO GIRL!

That is an adorable outfit! I never wear anything girly either. Since I clean houses I'm usually more grubby than girly. You look darling in that shirt. Congratulations.

WOW! You look phenomenal!

OMG... Alex, you look awesome! I bet your hubby is wondering where his wife is?!?!

Awe... love the pics of those beautiful girls!

Have you cut your hair???

Very pretty color on that blouse Alex- its very flattering on you & the girls- I love the smiles! I have a brother just like yours. If i were to lose(which I will) 80 pds or even more, He would say-"good-you look nice" & that would be it :0)
