I found this tunic while thrifting last spring and it just didn’t quite go over my hips, but now does so time to bring it out..
I felt really fun and spunky in this look , something I don’t always feel in pants…I think the combo of the larger floral print and the shooties are what created that great feeling… I wore this grocery shopping at Bj’s and noticed a few admiring looks from fashionably dressed women in their late twenties to thirties, so guess I din’t look to wacky…
I think I might restyle this again with a grey shirt underneath or for warmer weather with just a tank top and maybe dark wash jeans. All I know is that this tunic will get more use. Today, I needed the lightweight cobalt sweater underneath as temperatures were only near 50 today… Going to be in the mid 40’s tomorrow…Spring just teased us! 
Dear Readers I am feeling much better and hope that is the end of it… I am mentally focused on losing these last ten pounds. For those who don’t think I need to lose another ten please understand that I am just trying to get back to the figure I know and love that disappeared due to anxiety and depression over losing a store I loved and watching dementia in my mother. I like the current body, but just feel short of loving it and the ability to like myself in pants with the shirt tucked in.. Once there I will feel confident in everything I wear and be back to myself..In the interest of full disclosure, I am 5 ft 3 inches and 140lbs. That is the highest weight WW’s recommends as a healthy goal weight for my height. The lowest is 113, so I am aiming for near the middle. Now off to exercise, doing my fluidity ballet bar and toning with weights.
Gratitude: I am grateful to be feeling better and to have gone out and done some much needed grocery shopping. I am grateful that I ate really well today and exercised. I am also grateful that I bought great things to keep me on track.
I thought it might be fun to go back after my first three months as a blogger and reveal my top 12 favorite outfits . Like all beginning bloggers I have had some hits and misses, but can see my style improving and want to take a moment to celebrate my successes.
These are in order of most recent to the beginning of my blogging adventure…. I have to mention my surprise that when I finished this that I was left with 6 dresses and 6 pant outfits. It was totally unintentional and was a shock, as I think I look better in dresses and would have had an overwhelming number of them instead of it being evenly split…
I would love it if you felt so inclined to post a comment saying which one or two you liked most!
I originally planned to take a break between Christmas and New Year’s, but my husband encouraged me not to and offered to take photos for me while on his vacation. His support is tremendous and I am so grateful that he understands what this new adventure in blogging means to me.
I don’t take for granted the precious time with my family, as they are all growing and who knows where life will take them?
I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday and quality time with your friends and family!
Dear Readers. Thank you so much for all your support in this beginning journey of blogging!
