Your MOTG 3 outfits look fabulous, please wear these clothes soon!

I love your colour combinations and again love you in the vest. They are absolutely your signature style.

Great outfits! I noticed your colour combinations, too. You're good at picking colours that suit you.

Boof

You just keep shrinking! It is amazing, and it's fun to see the results of all of your hard work. You look wonderful in everything. I love the vest as it shows off your teeny waist! I like the low-slung belt, but have your tried belting anything at the waist yet? Just curious to see how that would look. I agree that MOTG #3 is gorgeous! Can't wait to see it on you! Love your color choices, too!

Once again a fantastic set, you get slimmer every time i see you. They are all great but if i had to choose a favourite it would be the first one and the waistcoat one, you are my waistcoat idol! The outfits laid out look great too can't wait to see them on x

Great outfits and use of color. I especially like turquoise on you. A suggestion would be to unbutton some of the lower buttons on the boyfriend cardi (10-27).
My favorites are 10-21 and 10-26 of those you are modelling. Please model your MOTG#3 outfits for us. They look fantastic. Will you wear them with tights?

Thanks Bigi, R7J and Louise

Boof- I have been wearing lots of belts lately- mostly at the waist.

The last few days have been cold and windy, so I can't try the MOTG looks, but it's supposed to warm back up and I may get a chance to wear them.

Joy- I currently only have one pair of herringbone tights in a dark brown (which read pretty flat), but I am on the lookout for textured hose in brown. I saw one pair of lacey looking tights in a nude tone at Target that I may try.

Chewy- love all your outfits. You have a great eye for putting together fun and casual outfits. Great use of color.
One suggestion I'd like to make is on the outfit with the vest- the necklace against the graphic t is repetetive and too much going on IMO. I'd try no necklace and instead a cool pair of hoop earrings if you have them.
I like Joy's suggestion too of unbuttoning some of the buttons on the cardi-- might add some more visual interest and casual vibe.
Have a great day- and don't get blown away today. It was really windy here too yesterday

You look great. You look like you'll be one of the best dressed mothers at the PTA meeting. Your look is polished yet comfortable. Way to go!
I love the necklaces you got at World Market. I have only been in that store one time. I must check it out.

Khris, great outfits! You are looking so svelte. Congratulations on you amazing progress.

My favorites are 10/21 and 10/26. I think you look so good in greens and blues. I'm always impressed by your great color combinations. And you just ROCK the vest and tshirt look! Fanastic.

I can't wait to see you in the MOTG #3 looks. They look promising.

Fabulous outfits, Khris! I love the outfits with the waistcoat. I agree with Medusa, you are looking super svelte, too!

So glad the belt worked out for you! I know I told you elsewhere but you are looking SO slim and healthy, and your outfits are fitting you perfectly these days. I know what a challenge that is, so bravo! I'm also loving all the layering you're doing; you really make the most of all of your wardrobe.

You really are visibly thinner and looking great, Khris! Both of your formula #3 outfits look promising, hope to see you try them out soon.

I love each of your outfits. The colors are amazing on you. Your offerings for MOTG #3 are super!

Love your outfits and the color combinations! I also love the boots. Which brand are they? They look like Frye Harness boots.

speedracer- they are from Target (Mossimo Supply Co). I haven't worn boots in a really long time, so I wanted a cheap pair to try out. They are leather, but it's not a very nice leather.

san- you *have* to go to World Market. It's my favorite "jewelery store"! OK, it's my favorite store for just about everything else, too LOL

Kristen- Thanks again for the belts. They are getting a lot of use. I think the layering is essential for an intentionally small wardrobe- and it keeps things from getting boring. The ladies here have opened my eyes up to new layering options that I would not have thought of before. It's really hard to keep tossing out favorite pieces, but I keep an on-going donation bag so that I don't fall back on too big items. I know you can relate

queenie- where are you? The wind has finally died down, but it was pretty bad for a couple of days.

Thanks everyone for the comments. It's funny- there were a lot of comments about my color choices. Pre-YLF, I would not have matched those colors so it's actually thanks to all of you that I have branched out.

speedracer2002

The boots were from Target? Wow! They look great in the picture! IMO, you are the definition of chic. It doesn't take a lot of money to have style; you either have "it" or you don't. And girl, you definitely have it!
