This is a bit of whinge, self-indulgent post, and also a rehash of stuff I've said before. blah-blah-blah
So a few months ago (when it wasn't so cold) I saw a woman on the street wearing kinda rust to mustard colored wide leg cropped pants, leopard mules, and a fitted black turtleneck. I think she also had a black leather moto jacket if my memory is correct. She looked so just pulled together. I meant to post it then, but forgot.
Just before Thanksgiving I was downtown and saw lots of women wearing skinnies (so confirming Angie's statement about them not going away soon). Mostly cropped and worn with ankle boots showing an inch or two of skin. Some cutout style or perforated boots and modified D'Orsay flats. Very few fashion sneakers.
Lately all I've been wearing is either black leggings or straight leg to boyfriend jeans with a sweater. Many of my sweaters are showing their age. And honestly not very feminine at that, not that being feminine has been end goal for me, but I'm not completely androgynous.
When I heavy I would dress kinda frumpy often. Think baggy sweatshirt and jeans. Then I had lost weight and kept it off for about five years, and here on YLF you saw most of my looks. Unfortunately I've gained weight again. And now I find myself feeling frumpy again.
I'm not even sure of those black and white patched Calvin Klein jeans again. And the stupid expensive Dad sneakers
I have to remember that not everything works on my current body type. I need to purge even more of my closet. I do follow some plus size women on instagram (FYI @the 12ishstyle is awesome).
There are multiple things going on my life, which also isn't helping. I turned 46 back in September, and it's hit me harder than expected. Probably bumping up my social life will inspire me to get dressed again. I'm bummed I'm missing my friend's holiday cocktail party this year because I'm on call.
I did buy some interesting skinny jeans to break things up (find below) And a pink sweater.
I think I've lost track of where I was going with this post.
