While adjusting my wardrobe and dealing with my clothes becoming too big as I lose weight it’s posed some interesting dilemmas. The biggest of which is how to make my basic jeans and T-shirts that are a bit big look fashionable. I’m still working on it but only way to do, is to try.

It’s not time to buy new clothing – yet – so I’m making due with what I have and some fun accessories and makeup. I’m practicing my Girly girl skills instead of schlumping. My girl Laura has been a huge inspiration on the self care, weight loss & looking good front. Check her out.

Today I threw on a basic teal T-shirt and bootcut jeans but it was very plain, very very plain and kind of frumpy. These were my go to pieces 6 months ago but now the just don’t fit or look right Time to dress it up.

I recently found my blue beaded necklace in an old jewelry box and love the color and delicate detail. Fills the space in my neckline with a nice color and was like getting something for free.

I’m not opposed to finding accessories anywhere. My collection includes anything from inherited pieces to things I’ve made

My bracelet is green wood I found for $1 at Hobby Lobby. I wore it with my rehearsal dinner dress and still wear it weekly. Most versatile purchase from the wedding.

My earrings are not your average hoop. But I’m not average so they are perfect Square-ish and doubled, they are fun when a traditional hoop is a bit plain. I love big earrings so these fit the bill.

Fun but practical shoes were what I needed to be me and tie it all together. I’ve stopped being the all sneaker, all the time girl and venture out – even beyond black flats like for work. My current favorites are these lavender fun ones I’ve worn with just about anything. I’m in love.

I couldn’t forget a bit of fun makeup so I played up my eyes with some subtle purple and mascara. Just enough of a surprise when I blink. Surprised me too when I looked in the mirror.

Put it all together and I look nice for a day of errands.

I’ll admit part of my errands was window shopping for fun new clothes…but I kept my walls in my purse. That doesn’t mean I didn’t buy something at Sephora
