Woohoo so excited today. After Angie's gentle encouragement that the magic was within me and I just had to find it and plan a little for it: I think I hit it out of the park today!
Firstly the magic dress that TS lovingly passed on to me and looks uber fantastic. I have the one in pink and black but totally love these colors as well. And as per usual magically this dress gives me a waist. Thank you so much Shannon: you unknowingly have helped me get my groove back!!
I struggled finding the right bootie: they all looked silly until I found my black munros: perfection with that vamp and the v at the top.
My opaque nude tights looked grey on me. I am less tan this fall/winter. I did wear my micro fishnet oroblu's but they were also a tad grey IRL.
The earrings are a gift from Shannon! And doesn't it look like they swirl into an S!
To put together with the earrings I chose my very "au courant" for the season monogrammed necklace in silver. The initials: SAS actually stand for my unmarried last name which is what I kept in my professional life. The A Is not my last name but the initials ( SAS) are my first name, middle name and last name. As it happens the A- my middle name is my Dad's first name so Dad was with me (in spirit) today as well.
Last but not least here is the Lanai on me. Its just a tad tight on the armhole but not in a tight, tight way. I have enough give to sit comfortably. it just could be a 1/4 inch looser but I liked it enough to keep it. It also went well with this outfit since it also curves in to my "waist".
I'm in YLF true and tested items head to toe (save my jewelry) and boy can I just say that Angie and fabbers at large as well sure do know their stuff.
Happiness: factor: 20/10.
Comfort factor: 9/10 (the -1 is for a little getting used to tights and shapewear again!)
P.S: I did find the oroblu's in opaque at the mall and apparently need a nude (their lightest shade!!) this winter. I think this is because while my skin is often mistaken for olive with yellow undertones I actually have blush undertones and my hair has red undertones: strange but true!)
The last picture is of my sassy bebe! Would you believe that this child is in the top 1% of all students in the Midwest in math and reading and yet is a little button of a fashionista!
