WIW: Holiday Style (?) - YouLookFab Forum

Hi Ladies,

Happy New Year to you all.

I have been away in Melbourne for the week and head back to work tomorrow for three days and then I am on leave until the beginning of Feb. I am well into holiday mode already

So, I am not sure if I will post much in the way of outfits over the next month but will certainly be around for yours

Today is Sunday and we are lazing around the house. As you will see, Nerf Guns are out and I haven't unpacked my case yet but hey... holiday mode!!

I am not sure you could really call this 'style' lol but this is me today. DIY cut off shorts, long draped grey tshirt and bare feet!! May pop out to visit MIL and will wear my birk-a-likes and may pop on my black and white kimono jacket. January tends to be VERY hot here and it is probably the most challenging month of the year for dressing... but I will do my best

DH and I have also made some decisions regarding our weight and fitness and are making some dietary changes that we have seen work very well for my BFF and her husband. I have been following the basic concept for the last 2 months and am feeling great, and now that my general well being has improved, I am now ready to address weight loss so we are both now applying the weight loss principals. My motivator? This year's birthday has a zero on it and I determined to be Fabulous as opposed to flabulous:)

And while I am feeling chatty... my hair has been driving my crazy and I think I have just worked it out this morning. The back and the sides are too long. I think I need to maintain the same style but shorter at the back with more graduation to the length at the front... does that make sense? What do you think? I am pretty sure that earlier in the year when I was loving my hair, it was shorter!

#2 DH and Master 11 are SO funny:)

Lots of love
Deborah

LOL!! Love it ... Deborah, you look great!

Haha love your photobombers! Nice outfit for our hot summer weather - you always look so chic Deb. I don't know about your hair - I kinda liked it when it was a little longer, buy hey - that's just me. If it's driving you nuts you need to get it cut! So, turning 30 this year?

You and your family are adorable Deb! And Happy New Year to you too

I'm laughing about your hair - I'm in the same boat trying to figure out what to do with it. I say go with what's most comfortable for you. I will admit that it looks gorgeous no matter the length.

I'm wearing a different version of top-and-shorts here in Queensland too! Perfect for summer.

Having just had a wonderful new haircut myself, I'm all into 'get it cut' if it isn't working. But it looks really stylish right now anyway, so it's really more about if it's annoying you.
Cheers to holidays!

Happy New Year to you and your photo bombers! You look cool and comfy for a hot day. I think your hair looks great, but I know what a pain it can be when it's not behaving the way you want it to.

Carla

Looks like a happy start to 2015 to you and your family! Enjoy your break from work, and good luck with the hair dilemma. You always look 10/10 to me, but I really like the shorter 'do you were sporting earlier in 2014. Hair grows, right?

PS: You totally rock the vacay look!

Jaime

I burst out laughing looking at you trying not to burst out laughing at dh's antics! How fun! You look terrific, but good for you for trying to eat in a more healthy way. Your hair always looks so good, that I will trust you with it :-)!

Lucy

Go Deborah! You look great in the heat! And adorable family shot

gryffin

Deborah how do you manage to look so glam in cut offs?!! Second the loving the photobomb! Don't you have such pretty high arches! This from princess flexible flat feet! (Can you tell my brother is an orthopedist). So jealous!!

TraceyLiz65

Great casual look and I think your hair looks fabulous... Love your photo bombers.. Wishing you great success with your new healthier eating..

Sharon

Happy New Year, Deborah. I love those shorts on you- pleased to see they are getting some love. Tell DH that we would be happy to give him some outfit feedback if he wants to stop hiding behind you

lyn67

No matter your(otherwise so funny:-)) photobombers you look great Debs in your homewear, too! Good luck with your new diet plan, can we find out more about it?

carolbee

Looking fab for a hot summers day. Its really starting to warm up here from tomorrow. Have to laugh at your flabulous comment, a sub group of my patchworking group have a group called "The Flabulous Flamingos", we all chip in $25 with our starting weight and at the end of the year go out for a Chinese lunch, paid by the funds and the person who has lost the biggest % of weight gets the rest of the money. Its fairly private as only the lady who started it actually sees your weight. I won 2 years ago, but this year I put on weight!! So, are you following any type of program or just making healthier choices?

Deborah

Thanks ladies!

Soobee, you know I adore you. 30 ofcourse was a while back

Re my hair, it was a quite day so lots of time to think about it lol. I have some breakage on my top layer and that is throwing off the shape. I really think I need to go shorter while it grows out (thankfully my hair grows fast). The front is ok, but the sides are sitting flat and heavy and it creates bulk and a lack of style to the cut.

Lyn & Carolbee, we have embraced the Body Trim method. It is a program developed in Australia (though the general concept is not unique) and it is logical, makes sense, isn't about denying yourself, and is doable. It seems to have all bases covered and works for someone with a real life:) I will check in at the end of the week and let you know how our first week went

anne

Deb - you still look good even at home!! I have had some friend who have lost weight on bodytrim. All the best. I need to take off a bit too, as some of my work clothes are getting too tight.

GREAT pics. And you have never looked better Debs, so bring on the milestone birthday this year. Glad the new eating plan is working out too. xo

SarahTheWhite

I LOVE your casual easy look! In these pics your hair looks wonderful, but I always think it does. The trickiest thing about short hair is how the tiniest changes make such a difference in how it looks and styles. When I was on a 6 week cycle for my cut, it always felt too short at the beginning and too long just before three next cut. I am just now switching to every 4 weeks, so that may help mine feel more stable and consistent. I'm about to find out anyway.... I love the antics of your family - so cute! I need to take a page from your book on getting healthier.... I will be following with interest!

Happy New Years . I think you need to put those supersoakers to good use.

frannieb

Great casual outfit - still the essence of you style but comfy. Great pic with the family. Happy new year.

texstyle

Looking great Deb - love the pics too. Happy New Year to you!

citygirldc

Now that's what I call casual cool. You look fab, happy new year to you.

Lyn D.

Happy New Year Deborah!
This looks similar to what I have been wearing around the house in the last few hot days.
You must share about any purchases during the last week in Melbourne- any Metalicus newbies??
LOL- DS's look is the same as my girls' when DH is being silly

amiable

Love your casual looks, and your photobombers.
I'm trying to eat healthier too, in order to lose (and maintain it!) some weight. The new year has started off with me a bit under the weather, which is actually terrific, because it makes better food choices much easier to not have much of an appetite!
