NK's - What I wore today and my new blog

I finally gave in and created a little blog for what I've been wearing to help me see and learn what works for me, (and what doesn't!). Any comments are welcome, although DH told me he thought I was kind of crazy for putting myself 'out there'.

Here's what I wore today:

The best compliment I got was from a friend at church who said she loves to watch What Not To Wear, and she thought I looked like an 'after' from the show.

ETA - Ack! I keep forgetting to change the thingie to "What You Wore Today" instead! Sorry about that!

What a great outfit! I just commented on your blog. I'm your first commenter!

I love this outfit. You do look very chic with the belted cardi. The necklace is great too - it hits you at just the right spot for this outfit. I love that you got the dress for $3. That sort of thing just thrills me to the bone!

Oh - your blog title is so clever!

what a fabulous outfit. sooooo flattering. love the color of the cardi.
I think the boots look great with your black tights, but I have a strict policy against uncomfy shoes so if you cant get them stretched I'd pitch them

I love it. I missed hearing how you got a dress from Costco for $3. It is so pretty and just right for any color cardi you want to put over it. What a lucky find.
I love your new blog!

I just had to let you know that I have bookmarked your blog - I would never have guessed you were pear shaped until I read it because you seem to do a great job balancing it all out!

So as a fellow pear I'm looking forward to seeing your outfits!

Thanks!!

Thank you for the comments and visits to my blog!

I bought the $3 dress years ago in Las Vegas at Costco. It was marked way down, which is funny, because I've never seen anything else on clearance at Costco, have you? It was on a table and my SIL and I each grabbed one. At the price, I figured it was worth a try and I just hoped it would fit.

It has a seam down the front that doesn't do my belly any favors, but I can work around that I guess!

Theresa, if you scroll down on the blog to one of the earlier posts of me wearing jeans you'll see just how pear-shaped I really am.

I just looked back on all of your posts. I'd been thinking the one you linked to here was your first.

I have to say that even though I can see your pear shape in the post with the jeans, it doesn't look as pear-y as you think it does! You have a lovely, feminine shape and you know how to dress it really well. All of the outfits you've posted are wonderful, flattering outfits. Good for you!

I have to agree with Jenny - I don't think you are as peary as you think either - but I tend to think I'm hugely peary so I'd say we all just see our worst bits magnified...

I love the look of your gorgeous cardi's over your skirts - you really do look great.
