Day 174 - 7 down 2 more to go!!!

So I'm almost back!  7 days and a few pounds down and two more days to go.  More than the pounds down are the inches!  I was discouraged by the number on the scale this morning so decided to take my measurements a couple days early just to see my progression and I've lost a total of 5.5 inches.  And I can really see the difference.  I took a before photo and will take an after on Wednesday morning but I doubt I'll be brave enough to post it!  To start my week right I decided to drag myself into the office.  My quiet office where I speak to no one and hardly get up from my cubicle.  Why come into this when I can just stay home?!?  Maybe I just need to meet some new friends but I've been here 7 months now so we'll see!   The skirt I have on is from Forever 21 and is ancient.  I'm talking at least 5 years ago but it's in perfect shape and it's my go-to summer staple to wear to work.  Can't go wrong with a denim skirt it can go with anything!  The top is another oldie and I wouldn't know where it was from but the tag told me Joyce Leslie.  Love that store for cheap quick outfits and they have the best long cami's.   Happy Monday have a great week!  3 working days for me then Fire Island on Thursday for Jen's Bachelorette Weekend!!!  

Day 173 - Weekend Round Up

Pretty low key weekend which is good for someone on a cleanse!  Went out for a little Friday night and that's the only outfit I can blog about.  2 more days on this cleanse then I'm ready for Jen's Bachelorette weekend!!   Hot pink top is from Arden B from a couple years ago but new to me because it still had the tags on it!  

 

Taking the week off! Including eating, alcohol, dates and boys :)

Dating has taken such a toll on my body. I feel like all I've been doing is going out to eat and drinking a lot of alcohol.  And boy do I see the pounds coming on!  I used to drink wine a couple weekends a month.  And now it's more like a couple times a week!  So I decided to try the Isagenix 9 Day Cleanse that I purchased before my wedding (when I was 25 pounds lighter).  Crazy to think that I felt the need to lose more weight when I was that much smaller.  So I'm taking a hiatus from everything else in my life including dating and boys and am going to focus on myself. There will likely be no good outfits to blog about either since I'll probably just work from home and not do much else!  I'll blog again on Wednesday with an update since I'll be able to have a small meal that day and will be in a better mood :)  Here is some information about the cleanse I'm doing and if it works I'll be trying to promote it!   Isagenix 9 Day Deep Cleansing System   It's a 9 day cleanse.  The first 2 days are cleanse days.  Then there are 5 shake days.  And it ends with 2 cleanse days.  On cleanse days you can't eat.  You drink 4 juices throughout the day, a ton of water, and if you get hungry some approved snacks.  I am also taking the Natural Accelerator and IsaFlush pills.  On shake days you replace 2 meals with a shake and eat 1 400-600 calories meal.  Same pills and a ton of water. It's going to be a long week! Wish me luck!

Day 165 - A baby shower

From bridal showers to baby showers!  So many exciting events happening in my world!  I am wearing ankle zip jean leggings (which are pants on me) from Express and no idea where the top is from.  But how cute are my shoes!  They match my top well :)

Day 164 - New hair and surprise date!

So here it is!  My new hair cut that I went out of my comfort zone for!  Can you tell?!?  No one can ever tell when I get my haircut but I think you can see the layers a little bit right?  It feels so much thinner and lighter just in time for summer.  I'm excited about it! CATman is taking me on a surprise date tonight.  I know it's dinner somewhere just not sure where so really don't know how to dress either.  Can't go wrong with a Maxi right?  This is Jessica Simpson!

 

Day 162 - Hanging Around

Hung around all day worked from home and am having company later so needed to dress.  This is an Essential Tee from Victoria's Secret that I have in a variety of colors and patterns.  So you'll be seeing more of these soon :)  And these are my everyday Express jeans that I wear quite often (although I have 3 pairs).  And I'm shoeless because I'm not leaving my house!

Day 161 - Lauren Conrad NWT

Today's outfit includes a NWT LC Lauren Conrad top from Kohl's along with Exact Stretch Cropped Pants by The Limited and really clunky heavy wedges by Fornarina.  Happy Tuesday :)

Day 157-159 - Weekend Round Up

There are a few missing days but that's because I probably didn't leave the house or I ran out to get coffee in my sweats.  There will be a lot of those!  So I am combining Friday, Saturday and Sunday into one blog post for today. Friday was ladies night at a BYOB and we sat outside. What a beautiful night especially when they broke out the heat lamps!  Top is Jessica Simpson...courtesy of my Mom.   

   Saturday's dress is Express.  

   And hard to to admit I shop here but Sunday's dress...which I absolutely love, is Arizona from JCPenney.  Shoes by Jessica Simpson.

 

Day 154 - Summer Luau Party!

My office is having their summer celebration today and we're supposed to be wearing Luau attire but I didn't have anything!  I almost went to Party City to buy a grass skirt and coconut bra but I'm still sorta the new girl in the office so don't want to be so inappropriate! I did my best to find something festive and tropical so I picked this skirt from Target and top from The Limited.  And I love my 5 inch wedges by BCBG.  

Day 153 - Yellow and Gray Monday

Back to the office after a great weekend!  I'm looking forward to this warm weather because of the variety of clothing to be worn during the summer months.  In the winter your only choices are really pants, whether it's jeans, leggings, dress pants, corduroy or sweats.  Summer you can chose from pants, capris, shorts, skirts, and dresses!  Lots of different ways to create outfits as well.  Today I am wearing Boyfriend Carpis by Old Navy with a top by Max Studio from Loehmann's.  I love these Old Navy capris because they come in multiple colors AND petite!  I ordered both regular and petite and the petite fit so much better length wise because I'm so short.  And while I just went to go link the blog to the item I realized how many MORE colors there are available.  That's dangerous!  The ridiculously blinged out flops are by Guess.  I need to play around with my camera a bit for a good location and lighting to take my photos so I apologize for the yellow lighting!

Day 152 - Softball Sundays

This is my Sunday uniform for the next several weeks so only going to post it once! I don't actually play I sit on the sideline and do stats.  I face planted at my first game running to first base so decided I wasn't cut out to play anymore...only when needed (3 girls need to play every week ).  It gets me up and out on Sundays though!
