Since I am going back to the mainland for the Christmas Holidays I decided to get a few new cold weather clothes. Since I live in a warm weather climate I generally have no use for long sleeves and jeans here.
I, like many others, love some Old Navy but havent been able to wear my size 20 jeans from there lately(I haven't recently tried them on). Well in preparation for my visit home in a couple of weeks I bought the cutest scarf with bright orange colord foxes(scarves are the best). So of course after finding the worlds best scarf I needed a whole outfit to go with it.
After church I usually go walk around the outlets near my house and generally check out what sales are going on, usually at Old Navy(I am slightly addicted). I was on a mission to find grey pants and tops that would go with my scarf. Boy did I ever strike gold. After giddily picking out tops and rumaging through the clearance. Also trying on clothes and taking numerous mirror selfies to get wardrobe approval from the sis(not really approval more like clarification that I have an awesome eye for cute clothes). I found a great pair of dark grey denim jeans size 18(WHAT???, color me excited), an awesome orange vest, a comfy grey top, the best red plaid shirt ever, and a few other tops(most of which where on sale or clearance).
As of today I have lost 15.6lbs since I started my diet bet journey and finding out I can wear size 18 pants again is just icing on the cake(that I am not eating). I needed this pick me up this week with all of the things happening with my family. It gives me a boost to keep going knowing that I am not just spinning my tires in the mudd. Plus what girl doesn't get excited when they can wear new jeans. :-)
Keeping it moving!
