I'm doing 4 things
So I’m about to start shopping for my new look/wardrobe in a month. I’ve been really thinking about the look I want to portray and again I realized that I want to focus on shoes, jackets, bags and watches as items that I’ll spend money while keeping my main outfit relatively muted, modern and simple. I wonder if I’ll actually spend money since I’m still not at my goal weight and I’m sure of a budget. In reality I feel like I’ll do a lot more window shopping then actual shopping, but who knows. I’m excited to start checking out stores. Also I’ve found some online sites that I think I’ll shop from. Online has made shopping easier and I like it.

It made me
Yebo!
How I did it: It's all about the food! Eat well, watch portions and carbs. Always strive for variety and real food like barley with grilled chicken and veggies instead of a frozen diet meal. You don't need to eat as much as you think you need to eat. Drink water! Try to stay away from alcohol. Also exercise in moderation, you don't need to go to the gym an hour a day but walk more in your daily life. Above all have patience. It takes time to lose weight. Read how I did it…

So I dropped 44 pounds already and kept if off for over a year, but I’m still not at my goal. I’m stuck and it’s annoying me. I ended up moving and therefore no longer have access to a gym where I am so that has been a problem. My body is fluctuating between 150-145, but ideally I want to be in the 135-140 range. Currently I’m a 148. I eat well, but there are days I certainly indulge in big dinner and drinks with friends, but I like having those days. I know at this point that exercising is the key that is missing. For June I’m focusing on losing the 8 pounds before I hit the beaches of Spain. I know I can do it in a month. Wish me luck!
I’ve been trying to figure out what type of style I want develop and it’s a lot more difficult then I thought it would be. There is too much going on in fashion and I’m not sure if I want to engage with all that it has going on. I want to be comfortable, but look nice and modern. I’m leaning on focusing on shoes, bags and blazers since these are items I love while keeping a neutral or muted palate with my shirts/pants and skirts. I’m not into jewelry except for key pieces that I already wear (Sentimental value)
I guess I need to figure out my price ranges, cute and designers I might like.
Dressing better is a lot more work than I thought
