Sorry I haven't posted a WIW for some time. It has been scorchingly hot, so I have looked quite yucky. I haven't felt like I had anything worth sharing until today, and it's really just because of my hair bun. Thank goodness I have good hair days, because my body is not looking very fashionable lately.

I also have some extra pounds to lose that are being very stubborn, which has made me feel so frumpy lately. Hubs and I eat a very good (primal) diet, and don't eat excessive amounts, especially in summer. So it's been perplexing as to why my excess fat is so ... audaciously persistent. True, I am not very active since it's been so hot, but I think the real culprit is hormonal changes in my bod. I have just begun bioidentical hormone supplementation, so we await great things. Could this be the year I achieve the physical feat of doing one (1) pull-up? Will I again fit into some of my favorite clothes? Dreams are made for dreaming, after all.

But enough OT, now to the outfit. How do you like the proportions? You may be honest.

Top: of unknown provenance
Shorts: Gloria Vanderbilt
Sandals: Partners (Target, I believe)
Belt: gift from friend's trip to Mexico

The bun is a slapdash creation with lots of bobby pins, and I promise to do a video soon, hubs said he will film me performing an up-do. He is very kind.

Making a surprise appearance in #6-7 are a pair of Praying Mantises (manti?). I don't think the male has long in this earthly realm, as he looked to be a bit shaky on his feet. However if he's smart he'll leave her and choose a bachelor life.

Thanks for reading my novella! Have a beautiful weekend!
