One Year Later

It's been about a year since I started taking outfit pictures, and April suggested posting a picture of myself a year ago.
This is me today (which is already posted here in a WiW thread)

and one year ago exactly:

I feel like I've come a long way- both in weight loss, and style. I've changed some long held ideas, and I feel like I have a much better take on what works for me- even though I still get frustrated sometimes.

You're looking great! Your darker hair is really pretty with your skin tone. I actually like both outfits a lot, you were stylish back then too!

KILLER.

It's still the same pretty face though!

Loved watching you get more and more daring with your outfit choices as the weight came off. It's been a pleasure seeing every single one of your outfits :0)

Khris, I can't see these pictures and have no notion of how you looked before, but I had to tell you that you are one of my primary inspirations on the weight loss journey. You have day-to-day life struggles that I can't wrap my head around, let alone cope with, and you've managed to transform your body and revolutionize your health while dealing with them. I look up to you enormously. Thank you for sharing as much as you do, and congratulations on your body/style evolution!

oh Khris you sure have come a long way in both regards - you are certainly an inspiration!

I looked at the old picture first and I thought what pretty colors on you and how you looked great physically a year ago.

Now, I see a style coming through and even more slenderness. You probably would not have thought to wear that belt a year ago! Look forward to seeing how your style will evolve next year!

I always look forward to your outfit posts, you look wonderful and are a true inspiration. I would love to know what style secrets you have learned, they are clearly working!

Wow, Khris! You are so inspiring, both because of your changing weight and your growing style. You can be very proud of yourself and enjoy the journey.

Amazing transformation Khris, and your new hair is the icing on the cake!

Khris, I agree with the above - you did look great then and you look great now! I have especially enjoying the last few months of your looks. Are you even "overweight" anymore? You don't look it!

Khris - what an amazing transformation! You must be so very proud of yourself, you look very healthy and happy and 'glowy'. (l know, that 'glowy' isn't really a word, but I like it. And it applies - so there ;-)!) I had to giggle at your 1 year ago photo, because it looks eerily similar to a couple of outfits I have been wearing. Here's to 12 months time, so I can look as stylish as you!

You also looked beautiful then, but now you look a lot more confident and daring with your style choices.

JuliaInGermany

Wow, look at you. I hope I will look back next year and see such a great transformation in my own pictures, too.

I especially like how you make layers work and play with proportions. I really want to learn that, too.

Gosh what fantastic weight loss and how edgy you are looking outfit wise x

Yay, thanks for posting this, Khris! It's such a dramatic change -- very inspiring to anyone, whether they're currently working at weight loss or not. You look wonderful. It seems like you must be getting close to your goal, yes?

Thanks for all of the encouragement and support!
Anne thank you for that- I'm actually still overweight by about 25 pounds, and still about 40 pounds away from my goal. I'll get there!
