For the Love of a T-Shirt

Guys, I totally skipped Project Self yesterday! I got home from work, did some laundry and cleaning, went to dinner with my family, got home late, and completely forgot. Just so you know, I weigh the same as last week! Exactly the same! But... my clothes are fitting me better and I totally *see* a difference in the mirror. So maybe now that I'm really on this Jillian Michaels bandwagon, this week will show a shift in numbers!

Like I said, we went to dinner last night... and as much as I love dressing up and putting on some heels, I had a LONG work week and was completely exhausted by 6:00 last night. Little S. and I made a pit stop at Old Navy on our way home from work and I picked up this super comfy grey t-shirt (how did I not have one of these in my life?). My jeans fit perfectly (no muffin top!) and I had another opportunity to wear my fake-out Keds. Hello, comfy night!

*I had my camera with me, but when I whipped it out for photos, the battery was dunzo. These are the best we could catch with our phone!

shirt: Old Navy
scarf: Old Navy
jeans: Charlotte Russe
shoes: Target
bag: Bath & Body Works (on of those free gift things)



And now, my MIL is on her way over, Husband is vacuuming, the dog is running away from the vacuum, Little S. is napping, and I'm about to go scrub some carpet stains, finish folding laundry, and change the bed. Happy Saturday to you and yours!

Crisp & Classic

I've been so envious, lately, of the skinny minnies wearing skin tight jeans and crisp white blouses. Ashley Hebert (the Bachelorette) does it all.the.time. And now, a few of my favorite bloggers are in, too. Check out Leslie's take on the trend. Isabel's done it recently, too! While I'm not far enough into my weightloss venture to try tucking a top into skinny jeans, I did recreate the look with my straight leg denim from Gap.

jeans: Gap
blouse: H&M
belt: Old Navy
shoes: Target
watch: NY & Co.
necklace: Christmas gift from Hubs (Zales)


Perhaps my clothes are still a bit ill-fitting, but I'm not going to moan about it. I was able to button these pants for the first time in a year and I took it and ran. And the top? I bought it last year when we went to Boston and the tags were still on it this morning. I couldn't pull it over my boobs 'til now, and although it's snug, once again, I ran with it.


To the dingbat who said I need a hair makeover, well... fine, I'll give that to you. HOWEVER, that was not a critique of the blog, so, yeah.


I hope everyone's having a really nice holiday weekend (if it's a holiday for you)! Be safe and don't drink... more than you can handle. I'm off for three weeks, now, and have TONS of stuff I need to catch up on. For instance, I'll have to get a big ol' prize package together! Today's the last day to enter my ginormously humongous 400 Follower Giveaway, and I'll be announcing the winner, tomorrow!
