I’ve worn a few outfits that are cute lately, there was a night out dancing for my birthday Saturday and a Burlesque show last night.  It was quite difficult to put outfits together with my minimal wardrobe so I’ve decided to visit my storage locker for a little ‘shopping’ trip.  I know the box I want to get into an it’s at the back on the bottom, it’s going to be a lot of work to get to it but it will be worth it.  And to make up for the lack of pictures I give you the latest lookbook.nu additions to my Inspiration Folder.

Oversized

Mix an oversized cowl with red lipstick or wear an oversized vintage sweater as your jacket with warm layers underneath like Kasia G.  Pin an oversized brooch to a knit cap, layer with a plaid shirt or expose some shin like Jenny O.

Cozy

Dig out your old knit ski headband and dress it up like Grace J above and Klaudia W below.  Like Grace wrap a delicate necklace around your wrist, dress cozy enough up top to wear lace tights below, bike shorts under the skirt to help you stay warm.

Chic Vintage

Mix faux furs on your collar and boot cuffs or add vintage buttons to your favorite jacket like Klaudia W.  Try a pair of vintage frames and pop out the lenses or a floral blazer like Iris, if you can’t find vintage they have these at H&M right now.

DIY (Do It Yourself)

Go all out with Ilse D by mixing a statement necklace and your most unique pants, if you don’t have the pants try a too big vintage pair or skirt and pin in pleats and gathers.

Add studs to your jacket lapels, patches to your leggings or try a conservative collared shirt knotted over a sexy lace blouse like Morven S.

Layering

Layer tights and over the knee socks, wear a sweater as a dress belted or let your hair spill out of your winter cap like Katze.  Layer a folded wrapped skirt under a dress or tie a belt into a present bow like Amy N, my favorite tutorial here.

What look do you want to try?

Weight Loss Wednesdays Post #1

Category: ProjectsEyeliah

Okay so for some reason I am sharing on here that I plan to lose 10 pounds.  I was worried it may be a bit too personal but you’ve always been supportive of everything else.  The last time I had to lose weight was in 2007 due to a knee injury, for every one pound of weight loss four pounds of pressure was taken off my knees.  I’ve had a bit too much fun over the past few months (especially Christmas and Texas) so I have to get back to my fighting weight and take 40 pounds of pressure back off my knees.

I found this awesome free website Weight Mirror where you can upload a picture and create a visual of yourself at your goal weight and also ADD weight, which I don’t recommend because it’s scary!  This picture depicts my best weight, which would be a loss of 15 pounds but at this point I’m not getting ahead of myself and just focusing on 10.

I’m using the site FitDay to monitor my progress.  Today I took my measurements and weight.  Everything starts at a zero count, except for the 2 pounds I’ve already lost :)

Weight: -2 Bust: 0 Waist: 0 Hips: 0 Arm: 0

~Goals~
Weight: -10 Bust: -1 Waist: -1.5 Hips: -2 Arm: -0.5

Currently I am biking an hour and a half atleast every other day and going to yoga five times a week.  I’m trying to get my food plan in order but feeling sick the past couple of days and eating a couple pieces of my birthday cake yesterday hasn’t exactly helped.  Next Wednesday I will let you all know how the first week went.

Anyone else lost/losing weight?  Tell me about it!
