WIW 4-17 to 4-23

Losermom

Hey everyone! I'm really new here and this is my first WIW post. After losing 70+ lbs in the last 1.5 years I'm still working on dressing myself properly. I's still working on what works best on my rectangle frame. I struggle with assessorizing and proportions, especially with skinny jeans. Do I have to wear a fuller top to balance it out or is it ok to wear something fitted.

My photos all have descriptions and I do need to work on my expressions--I'm not the most photogenic gal. Please be honest. I have a pretty thick skin.

Welcome, LM! It's great to have you posting. You made me laugh out loud with the "baby poops" thing.

You've had quite a change in your body but looks to me like you're doing a wonderful job of dressing that hot, new you. My favorite outfit was the church outfit. That one is great. Actually, I could gush about most all of them. The skirt with the jean jacket and leggings is also fresh and fun. The business casual outfit was perfectly polished but also spunky.

The only one I questioned was the grey jeans with the black sweater. I think that one would look better it the bottom layer was untucked.

I like the outfit where you're "pushing your funky-ness" the best. Love the dress with the leggings, belt, denim jacket and flats. You look so fab posed like that too.

The grey jeans Alecia is referring to might be a little big so they need to go, losermom! I bet you have done away with lots and lots of clothes over the last 18 months. This should be easy :0)

You guys are making me blush! Thank you. Alecia, I agree on your assessment of the grey jeans/black sweater combo--pretty dull. And Angie, I have been thinking that about those jeans for awhile now. I'm always yanking on them because they slide down over my flat butt, . I do love the sloutchiness of the legs on them though. I recently passed on another pair of grey skinnies because I already had these.

You are just so pretty! As far as I can tell, you do a fabulous job of dressing your shape! Other than the grey jeans/black sweater outfit that has been mentioned, I love the outfits you have put together. If I looked like you in skinny jeans, I would never take them off! Smokin' hot! :o)

Hi, Losermom - your pics show a beautiful woman great sense of style, and your losing 70 pounds is incredible!

My fave is the dress with leggings - very good proportions and very on trend. Don't hesitate to wear that look for MOTG days - not just church (I am just exploring cropped leggings for spring and really feel fashionable those days.)

I like all your other looks as well , but agree that the grey jeans are too big. You could save those for your loungewear, or if you are a fan of boyfriend jeans, try them that way and consider taking them in at the top. But I'm no expert on where the boyfriend jeans look is these days, so let's see what the others say. . .

You are so pretty.

My favorite outfits are: the skinnies with the cardi and the dress with the legging.

You have such a nice figure! Congrats on your weight loss!

The one with a blue sweater was my least favorite, the sweater is a bit large and the wedges are too heavy. You can do casual better.

Wow! What a great first WiW post. I particularly love you in green - it looks so pretty against your colouring.

In fact, I have decided that from now on in the future when I post on your threads I am going to call you "Lovelymom" instead - "loser" you most certainly are NOT!

Keep posting, I look forward to seeing your outfits as your style and wardrobe develops.

Losermom really doesn't have anything to do with my losing weight, although it does fit now. I am the mom of the Loser Family! Everytime we do something bone-headed, and it happens with frightening regularity, we laugh at ourselves and call ourselves the Loser Family.

Isabel, I love a bargain--whether it is a garage sale, thrift, outlet or clearance sale. I love the hunt. I usually have a list of things I'm looking for.

You are so cute and love your haircut and attitude and sytle. My fav is the dress with the leggings - the lenghts are perfect and you carry it off so well. Congrats on losing 70 lbs. I find that super inspiring.
