WIW 4-9 - white makes right - YouLookFab Forum

I am definitely on team wear because the second I got these sandal boots I wanted to wear them! If (when) they get dirty, thinking of dying them a deep bronze. We will see!

For those of you following my body transformation, it has been not quite a week, and I have lost 6 pounds and 2 inches off my waist. I am also mildly spacey and beginning to understand why actresses can be so snarly. When I have my first consult on Wednesday (which is when I start working out in earnest), I am demanding MORE CALORIES. Because I'm not hitting 1200 a day - more like 1300, no matter how much I try - and it is SOOOO not enough!

Man I want some guacamole.

I love your boots/sandals. They're very cool!

Wow, that's a huge difference in a short amount of time. Congrats! I'm curious about why your restricting your intake to 1200-1300 calories, though. That's really hard to do, especially when working out. I admire your resolve!

I love the white sandal booties! (I noticed that you wear cropped pants daily, and love the look).

IK, when I think of your style - the late 90's comes to mind. Do you feel that you have strong '90s style sensibilities?

Angie - good eye! Yes, I definitely do. The late 90's Helmut Lang, Jil Sander, and Donna Karan minimalist looks remain some of my very, very favorites ever. Maybe because they are strong and stark?

Amy - a trainer/nutritionist dictated this diet. They will adjust it depending on my body status etc., but the point is to put me into a fat-burning state. Whee.

Wow, that is a lot lost in a week! On the one hand yay for results, but it seems like you could definitely slow down and eat a bit more and still get where you want to be.

LOVE those white boots/sandals, too! Very fresh. I admire how you have done white boots with cropped pants and a long tunic and yet I don't feel concerned about your leg line at all here. Must study to figure out why that is.

IK, those are some phenomenal, awesome results! Especially the INCH loss --- that's truly dramatic for so short a time.

And like Rae, I'm baffled and delighted to see this not-textbook success of cropped pants (and not even tapered) with contrasting shoes and contrasting long top that makes you look like a tall drink of water.

Question, if it's not too personal: With your fairly active lifestyle, how often do you have to replace your whites? (Or are you just phenomenally neat and don't get dusty or drop things on self etc...?)

Killer shoes and outfit! Congrats on the weight loss, that is quite an accomplishment! Getting used to feeling hungry is the hardest part of maintaining a diet for me. But it seems that is the biggest clue that the weight is going to come off!

You look amazing!

I am in awe of your white outfits, and this is no exception.

Also, congrats on the weight loss! I hope they will talk to you about maintaining the benefits of this program long-term without having to be in constant starvation mode - I would be so cranky! This is why the Eat to Live program worked for me - you can eat as much as you want of the foods you are allowed to eat (granted, they are very low-cal - fruits, veggies, and beans - but it is a eating method I can sustain without feeling deprived).

Manidipa, I am probably the least coordinated person on earth so I am constantly spilling on myself. My secret is Shout (stain remover) and Tide with Bleach (detergent with bleach added) for whites. I always wash in Tide with Bleach with extra enzyme stain-removing powder added. If a white thing gets a stain, you wet the area with Shout, then put some Tide with Bleach on it, then get that wet with more Shout. Let the paste dry, and then wash the item. Most of the time it works. Also, when it's hot enough, I dry things outdoor on the line. Sunshine bleaches like crazy.

Thanks, IK, and sorry about derailing this thread a little!

I like the booties with the cropped pants, which I didn't think I would. They look good with the long tunic.

Great outfit. Cute booties/sandals. Love the minimalist style. And kudos to you for taking care of yourself!

WOW, congratulations on your *loss*, lol!

Your outfit is amazing and I love the new sling-back boots on you. Dyeing them a deep bronze would be awesome come fall (but it might take them a few years to get dirty enough to warrant that). You are lookin' good, IK!

Jaime

Wow! Two inches off you waist already? Amazing! I love those white booties and the whole outfit actually.

christieanne

You look happy with the new shoes!
Rockin the minimalist look once again and yes, the crop pants are perfection.

Inspiring results already!

Isis

I love everything about this: the rough necklaces, the tunic, and THOSE BOOT-SANDALS!!!!

I love how your style is so different from everybody else here, and I say that in the best way...you even make cropped pants and white shoes look fab!

Beth Ann

Now this is how a New Yorker does Texas boots! White, open backed booties! Love them!

Transcona Shannon

LOVE the new sandal-boot-thingies! I really like the minimalist look you have going - it's a great style.

Deborah

I totally relate to your minimalist stylings IK. This is my favorite outfits of yours to date. And this is how I like to see crop pants worn. Stunning. And I am in awe of hour laity to wear white, I cannot keep it clean no matter what I do.
