THE SKINNY JEAN WIGGLE

Hello, hello! I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving holiday! Also, that you're all enjoying the new header and color scheme! I had forgotten how long it had been since I really tinkered in Photoshop...

In other news, I have been working hard to lose weight, and finally I am starting to see the results of my "dieting" (aka not eating EVERYTHING placed in front of me) and exercising. In fact, I can now officially wiggle my way back into my favorite pair of jeans. I mean, there's still a lot of huffing and puffing and awkward lunges involved with getting them on, but it's the fact that I can get them on, readers. That has to count for something.

BEHOLD:

striped tank, gap
cartography cardigan, anthropologie
skinny jeans, joe's jeans
red flats, target [x-ish]
stone necklace, j.crew outlet
oval ring, f21



So maybe big, horizontal stripes weren't the best choice to show off a slimmer body, but I can hardly be expected to consider these things when I'm groggily getting dressed in the morning.

  2. Congratulations, Amy K! I, too, have been trying hard not to eat the universe, in an effort to lose a few pounds, and just 2 weeks ago, I managed to wriggle back into my jeans too! It was a triumphant moment indeed. But I had to take them off after an hour or so, because my toes were beginning to tingle and I was afraid I might be cutting off blood circulation to parts of my body. This is not hyperbole. I am a 100% serious. They were *that* tight. But, I managed to zip them up. For that one hour, I was walking on sunshine.

  6. Yay for fitting into your skinny jeans!!! I need to get my butt into a gym too but cold weather makes my motivation wane big time. I just want to go home and snuggle up on the couch instead.

    Cute new header!! I might have to steal that outfit idea since I have that skirt (or its doppleganger) from the J Crew outlet. :)

    Also love the pop of color with the red shoes! Congrats on weight loss - I know exactly how it feels like. Went through it last year and I literally used to do jump and a little dance every time an old favorite fit again!
