Those of you on FB have already seen these but thought I'd share. I thought I'd get creative since I couldn't sleep last night. The "dress" is an ankle-length skirt that's still a little too snug so I pulled it up over my chest, bought a $3 sweater and cut it up the middle and added a button to make a cardigan and bought and $8 belt and did a crocheted slip stitch around the buckle. :-)
And this is the day before. I haven't lost anymore weight but I still thought this side view wasn't "so" terrible. I didn't realize that stupid pants band looked like that but oh, well. (ignore the dirty mirror)
Re: AW: Work outfit today & yesterday(pip)
Looking good!
How did I not have any idea that you are creative and crafty?
Belle, you seriously look FABULOUS. Absolutely FAB. A better get a shotgun for all those men coming to knock at your door.
The outfit is cute! Was it comfortable??
Thanks.
Yodajo, I don't do crafty as much as I used to. But, when I do it relaxes me so much. :-) I hate I don't have time to crochet as much as I used to, I have a Cricut collecting dust and I desperately need to learn to sew.
Aggie, she's already trying to marry me off and has proclaimed I'll have a baby brother named Dylan for her when she's 9. It was actually surprisingly comfy. I experiented with a ruffle top I have and if I cince a belt at the waist it's really cute, too.
Hey lady! Long time, no see! How are you?
Thanks peeps.
i *think* i almost got that $3 sweater this week, but didn't think of doing anything remotely that cute with it and the reason it looks so cute is because you look great! impressive. everything looks better on skinny folks you know !
OMG it has been a looonnnnngggggggg time since I've seen this much BS in one place.
How about someone offer up some honesty and say that the crochet-covered belt buckle is HIDeous???? And those of you who are calling Belle skinny? Weight loss is awesome! Skinny? Not yet....
Belle, to me, it looks like you have lost a lot of weight! How much have you lost?
EMT - 35 lbs or so.
And, I know I'm not skinny, Gibs. Far from it. I'm very sure anyone with working eyes can see that and they are just being nice but whatever.
That's great, belle! And I was not BSing or "being nice", if I didn't think it, I wouldn't have posted it.
What a f'ingbitch. Seriously! Do you like trying to hurt people's feelings?!
Belle - you look AWESOME!! Keep it up girl! I'm jealous!
gheez gibs i used the word skinny and i guess i shoulda used the word skinnier. because outfits do look better on skinnier folks and, belle, she looks skinnier. but if my shameful lying made you crawl out of the woodwork, then so be it.
it's still impressive. gibs is just anxiously awaiting to give her stamp of approval, i am sure.
see? there i go lying again.
