I am still in the body-changing post-partum period and need things for right now that I feel good about myself in and comfortable in. I return to work imminently but initially mostly from home, so that is a bit of a change in shopping mindset as well. I really like your stripes + wide legs + cardigan combo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-25678176894412512432015-04-09T01:01:13.461-03:002015-04-09T01:01:13.461-03:00Do you Skype or should I call you?Do you Skype or should I call you?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04723360304687997220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-84834738025990396232015-04-08T15:51:57.455-03:002015-04-08T15:51:57.455-03:00I love that tee shirt, too.

I always feel like removing my nice work clothes for something more comfortable as soon as I walk in the door. The days I don't have to leave my house I am not fit to be seen outside, but it is not uplifting at all. I watched the videos you spoke of in your last posts. They were very enjoyable. Now, I just need to find time to try the techniques.<br />I used to work with a very slim older women who told me that the minute her friends stopped wearing things with buttons, and opted for elastic waists, they all let themselves go. I try to keep to the buttons and zips to keep myself in check, although it is getting harder.

I just bought a linen sleeveless top from Joe Fresh, navy and ivory stripes - won't be wearing it for a while though. I've been following Susan at High Heels in the Wilderness - she just did a post on trousers that she bought at Aritzia, so I'm going to check them out.

I like to support the local economy when I can! <br /><br />I've bought a couple of tees from Everlane for spring but that's about it. I'm still waiting to break out a couple of nice shoes I got for my birthday in January. Darned weather! <br /><br />I tend to wear jeans and tees and sweaters in the house but then throw on a nice jacket and scarf when I go out to dress things up. Now that it's getting nicer, I'll got out more for lunch and such and can dress a little better. <br /><br />Love the neckline of that striped tee btw. Very flattering.

The Leopard and Indigo appear to be fighting to a stand-off over who should carry the outfit. I think Leopard is such that any nearby distractions tend to de-claw him....but a can-do attitude can override any shortcoming...except distressed jeans. <br />Indigo Blue Stripes are a big winner.GSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903412564467078538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-40315148102870665032015-04-07T15:12:02.324-03:002015-04-07T15:12:02.324-03:00Nothing for me.
