I am walking a couple of miles at a time now, working my way up daily, and I get to start swimming again next week. Today I get to drive! </p> <p>Pil, the puggies have been so wonderful. They even seem to know not to try to jump on my lap, although I usually have a fluffy pillow in the way when I'm sitting in vulnerable territory. See pic for my most loyal little snuggle companion. :-)</p> <p>Shannon, no, I'd never put together this jacket and dress before, but I like it too! Usually I wear my faded blue denim jacket or my white denim jacket with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-for-dress-challenge-week#post-947815 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 02:02:06 +0000 Sveta 947815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look positively radiant after such a recent surgery, Janet.

The juxtaposition of the bright structured bag with the jacket adds oomph. You look fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-for-dress-challenge-week#post-947803 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 01:45:42 +0000 pil 947803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Janet!

So you can probably relate to my wardrobe hassles and trouble with shoes based on your Texas experience. That's the kind of terrain I have to&nbsp;live with&nbsp;most days - even if I'm going into town it seems there is always a field to cross, gravel drive, mud&nbsp;pit, etc. along the way.</p> <p>So glad you are feeling good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-for-dress-challenge-week#post-947598 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 20:55:56 +0000 Mona 947598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, you look lovely in this dress.

I bought that silver polish just so I could treat my toes during my convalescence. I've got some mixed metallics going on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-for-dress-challenge-week#post-947567 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 20:00:33 +0000 Anonymous 947567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-for-dress-challenge-week#post-947565 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 19:59:29 +0000 Liz A. 947565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to me!&nbsp; I love that toenail color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-for-dress-challenge-week#post-947559 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 19:44:57 +0000 Janet 947559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks!! The appt went well. I am healing nicely! Still need to take it easy. In another week I can start swimming (gently) again! Still another month before returning to running. </p> <p>I don't understand how I could weigh three pounds more today than I did before the surgery, but I guess my body is doing all kinds of weird things right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-for-dress-challenge-week#post-947556 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 19:42:20 +0000 lyn* 947556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pretty metallic sandals!

Is this the first time you've tried that combination? 'cause it's FANTASTIC! Love the sci fi pops too.</p> <p>Glad to see your recovery is coming along Janet - hope you are feeling well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-for-dress-challenge-week#post-947548 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 19:35:41 +0000 jenanded 947548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you look so pretty... and healthy. Cheers for such a great casual comfy outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-for-dress-challenge-week#post-947545 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 19:32:37 +0000 Janet 947545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had my post op doctor appt today so I was up and out early... and subsequently crashed for a nap as soon as we got home! So I'm glad I got a quick snap of my outfit before then, even though it's not terribly exciting. </p> <p>Wearing dresses is an easy call this week since not many pants are comfortable to me yet. I wore this old favorite today which I've had for years and even altered last year after I lost weight. It was raining this morning so I threw on my old semi-military inspired cropped jacket (Levi's) and carried my new-ish bright blue satchel. Shoes are not visible in the pic so I took a separate snap of them -- my old copper Cole Hahn flat sandals that are slightly worse for the wear after an unplanned long walk through a Texas ranch field. They're still somewhat presentable, I think, even though the finish has never been the same since.</p> <p>Added my rose gold and mint bracelet and white watchband. Am seriously considering buying a rose gold watch now that there are so many fab ones available.</p> <p>This is a pretty low effort outfit with an old dress you've probably seen before, and I'm only 12 days post-op so I'm not exactly aiming for the stars sartorially, but I still welcome suggestions and comments! </p>
