And So It Begins...

I am now at my "normal" pre-pregnancy weight (though things are bulky in different areas). However, just before I got pregnant I had lost ten pounds which is my personal ideal weight so I am happy that I am here, but I am still chasing ten more pounds and feel confident it's around the corner.

Still, I can fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans even if they aren't quite as loose as they were. Ironically, since I have issues with tight clothing some of my pants that I bought loose fit perfect right now.

BUT, though, my mom may not believe me,I have very few non-maternity clothes left and could probably do away with 90% of what I have even now. In fact, I will go ahead and do that in the morning. Even my tank tops are from a different style era.

I fell into a trap of buying what was on sale rather than what fit right or what fit into the style I wanted to embody for lack of a better word... portray sounded like I was being a poser.

I do not want to waste money on clothes that do not fit perfectly into what I want my wardrobe to be.

Which means looking around, really shopping, and really returning if its not right. And paying attention to what I have, what works together and what I need.

So, my eyes are sore from looking on the internet, but when the day ends I feel good about my purchases - they are things I've tested or thought over and over about. All are casual, all are easily returnable... and I think they all sort of go together.

Now I must take a break from shopping for anoter few months... or more? To really test my theories here.

p.s. Our back yard is IN PROGRESS, how exciting is that?
