Hmmm. Sounds like a case for Encyclopedia Brown, no?
This is my during weight loss photo. Please note my hair remains in a ponytail because I HATE doing my hair. If someone gave me money for a completely frivolous expenditure and forbade me from using it for anything useful to myself or others, I would totally have someone come to my house every morning and blow my hair out for me.
Here's me, 50 pounds down:
Can you believe how short my legs are? I mention it every time, I know. But it never ceases to amaze me. It's like God doesn't love me or something.
BUT! NSV: Those white pants are pants I bought in 2007 after my sister's wedding. I took them to be hemmed and by the time I picked them up from the tailor, I already couldn't wear them anymore. Yesterday, I put them on, and with thanks and praise to almighty Spanx, they fit.
And here's the before shot, of the aforementioned criminally awful upper arms:
I know, right? I know. The good news is, any improvement will be major. At noon I will have a heart-to-heart with my trainer and tell him that even though I *look* like a person who could use a whole-body makeover, what I really want to focus on is getting Michelle Obama arms.
You look great!! I love that outfit :)
ReplyDeleteyou look fantastic :-)
ReplyDeleteyour arms aren't bad, at least you don't have a baby fat roll like i do! lol
Dude...are you standing in your closet? Because if that is your closet, I might hate you a little teeny bit.
ReplyDelete2 things: first you look fab, but better without the grey sweater thingie...don't be afraid of your arms! And second...LOVE Encyclopedia Brown!!!! OMG!!! I am going out today to buy a couple of those for my kid!
NOT my closet, Gilly. Just a well-lit full-length mirror in the guest room. (The mirror in my room is in a dark spot.)
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable.. and your arms are not nearly as bad as you think they are. Mine are much larger and I'm embracing the chub this summer and going full-out sleeveless!!! Good luck today with the trainer.. I tell mine I want the MObama arms as well.. Love the outfit too!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are as cute as they come.. Your post reminds me of the fact that pants that are tight on me, get longer as I lose my ass. do you have that "problem" too!!
ReplyDeleteI think we all women focus on our arms in the summer.. Let us know what tricks your trainer has for you.. I remember alot of tricep dips were recommended to me .. it hurt, but it worked.
Very cute outfit! Congrats on losing 50!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gilly-lose the gray wrap and show off the bod. You are looking great! Make that trainer work and get yea some muscles to fill out the arms (BTW, they don't look that bad!)
ReplyDeleteTell me what your trainer has you do, then I'll copy it.
ReplyDeleteYou are looking gorg BTW!
You look great, I love your expression in the second picture!
ReplyDeleteYour legs look short because your (god-awful) sweater hangs down SO LOW that it chops your legs off. Stop wearing clothes that make your legs look shorter. I actually prefer the second photo because your legs look smokin' hot in those pants!! Wear some heels to make your legs look longer too!
ReplyDeleteAs for the top though...I'd love to see you wear something with a V-neck or sweetheart neckline to emphasize your ta-tas, maybe something with three-quarter length sleeves. Like one of these two tops:

Your legs are definitely your asset so SHOW THEM OFF.
(Oh Cripes. I bet this post makes it sound like I know something about fashion WHICH I DO NOT. Oy boy.)
I swear you have a very similar figure as I did, so I can relate!!!

Congratulations on fitting in those pants - you look great!!!
ReplyDeletePS I'd love to have Michelle Obama arms too!!
Yep...we are totally loving the built-ins in the guest bedroom! The outfit does look better without the sweater (which cuts you in 1/2). Heels would look great too! I like your hair back...it looks chic! You look awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteEveryone wants Michelle Obama arms. She should have a public service annoucement with her trainer sharing how she got those arms.
You are so CUTE! Your legs do look shorter b/c of the sweater but I LOVE LOVE LOVE sweaters like that. (I have my reasons - ahem..hiding shelf bootay)
ReplyDeleteYou look great! And so brave to wear white pants. I just can't -- I would spill something on them before I even left the house.
ReplyDeleteyour to cute! way to go on fitting back into the white pants! I have short legs too! And have total issues with my arms! jealous of your trainer!
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome (sweater and no sweater)! Congrats on the 50 pounds down. It is such a great accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am going to sneak into your house at night and steal the built-ins from your guest room. I need them for MY guest room! ;)
You look great in both pics. At the risk of being unoriginal...your arms are not nearly as bad as you seem to think they are.
ReplyDeleteThat is also a perfect outfit.
Love the outfit and the necklace!!
