WIW to counteract a casual wear disaster

Momo

Hi
Recently I went to a family reunion and wore an outfit that I have worn before that I never feel good in but I couldn't think of what to wear so..
Last night my cousin posted pics on Facebook . OMG. I looked awful. Blobby, fat.. Ugh. After beating myself up for a while.. And untagging myself!... I decided I can do better and so... Here is a better casual wear look that I feel much better in and a pic to restore my battered self esteem ...
The other outfit is going in the donate pile ASAP!

You are so beautiful, Momo, obviously so much prettier than your cousin's photo must have suggested!
This is a great outfit. I really like the column of black and gray with the vest to break it up. YLF!

I think even the most beautiful and stylish have pictures on facebook they regret! I have one up that I like, but I look chubbier than I'd like. Because I was pregnant, but not obviously so. It takes all my resolve not to comment on it in ALL CAPS: "I WAS PREGNANT IN THIS PICTURE FYI WORLD!!!!!"

Thanks Zibbets! You are very kind

I think you are right Jules and probably no one else even cares but I tend to be very critical of myself.

You look pretty and I love your outfit too! I make ugly pictures .... It's a fact that I have gotten over ... Really. Some of us just look better in 3D

You have a pretty smile, and I think that your outfit is cute especially with that vest. How'd you come up with the idea of pairing cargo pants and a vest? I've never thought of wearing them together, and it really comes together well the way you did it.

What a lovely woman you are, and how nice to have discovered an outfit that enhances your loveliness like this one does. Brava! So what's next for you? more photos? a closet clean-out? At first, I found taking pictures and purging really scary, but it's done wonders for my self-confidence.

Thank you Dawn! I just grabbed the vest..didn't really plan it out. I think I need to take pics of what works as I always forget and tend to get dressed in a rush. That is what happened for the family reunion fail

Thank you Cerinda..that is very sweet. Yes I think pics and purge are next.
