WIW: Not too pudgy to post!

Nicole D

Veteran

So I fell off the healthy habits bandwagon and put on about 10 lbs over the past few months. Scary how easy it is to do that. But I realized that I was avoiding WIWs bcs I felt too fat.
So here I am today, on holidays at home, just hanging with the family.
Top: ON
Shorts: olsen
Shoes: crocs! My first pair and I can't take them off, at least while on hols.

Sunglasses are super cheapies from a local boutique (2 for 19.99)

Promise not to wear to work.

I am thinking of getting a pair of croc flats after seeing Rae's and now yours! They look like perfect summer around the house shoes.

The white and blue look so nice with your colouring. Great legs.

Well you still look no different to me. It's a gret summery casual look. I am enjoying seeing different casual summer looks as I'v been struggling with them myself. Though getting better lately due to YLF inspiration. YLF!

Pretty top! Love the fresh vibe of the white and cobalt. So summery and fresh.

Glad you posted. You look lovely.

You look relaxed, fresh, and cool!
No need to confess- we would never be able to tell that you had put on a few pounds! You do not look the least bit pudgy!

Love the color and fit of those shorts. And you look gorgeous

I love the fresh beauty of your blue and white! And I am really glad you posted.

The outfit looks very cool and comfortable. You look pretty and not at all pudgy! (I confess to having a few pair of Crocs in my closet. The flip-flops are soooooo comfortable and, well, I just had to have Disney Crocs for my most recent trip to WDW! LOL)

The blue and white is so fresh and summery. It's great to see you again! My goodness I would never ever post a WIW if I let pudginess stop me. (And to me you don't look pudgy in the least)

On the Crocs, I bought a pair of the flip flops 7 years ago when we moved into our house. I had spent a weekend unpacking, standing on the hard tile floor in the kitchen. My feet hurt! The Crocs were a godsend and are still my around the house shoe for summer.

On your tall frame, that 10lbs has a lot of places to hide! I applaud your efforts to maintain your optimal weight, but am so glad you remembered that fabness is never about the scale!

Love the lightness, the airy-ness of this outfit for a hot summer day! The shorts are a perfect length for you!

Thanks everyone. GLad the top got some positive nods, it cost me all of $12 at Old Navy, after I returned one from shopbop that was abut 10 times the price...

Ceit, you will not regret a croc purchase. Bounciest footbed ever. And thanks for the legs compliment.

Cindy Lion - did you get the Disney crocs with the Mickey perforations? They are super cute. I love WDW.

Susie, Shannon, Parsley Thistle, everyone...Thanks for the reassurance. I am back on the healthy track and eating celery and cauliflower as a snack right now. Must remember how good it feels to stick to a plan!

You look super cute and cool. I wouldn't be able to tell you had gained weight. That shouldn't be a reason not to post WIWs, I'm glad you posted!

You look fresh in blue and white. My Dr Scholl's 'dance' clogs are like Crocs but funkier in style, perfect around the house and running errands this summer. Isn't it fun!

Good for you for posting even if you don't feel at your best weight! I am up a few myself and just swallow and hit submit lol.
That is part of real life, and it's ups and downs, no?
Cute top!

Though I must admit I sing the title of your post to TLC's "Ain't too proud to beg"

I know exactly how you feel Nicole. I am at my all time high weight right now and haven't done a WIW in ages.

I think you look fab even though you don't see it in the mirror. I like the floaty white top with the blue shorts. Blue is such a summer color when it is a shade of ocean water.

No one is ever too pudgy to post!

Nice to see you again!

You say pudgy like it's a bad thing!
I am so glad to see you post. That's a casual yet put together outfit. In my experience, those are the hardest ones to pull off.

Great colors! I love white and cobalt.

I love the fresh color combo.

Every time I read the post title, it reminds me of the 90s TLC song, "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" - I guess it is the syllables and the words or something? Random, sorry, I am totally showing my age now.
