clothes horse invisible

Got myself a little zip up pullover fleece thing.
$7 at Wally World.
Some clothes for flying, or dressing up...
(yesterday's link)
The pants are 8-10 (women's) and they are not sweatpants!
The top is still a Large to XLarge... 
Muscles, perhaps? Just kidding, of course.
Now that I am apparently no longer invisible,
I like to look nice. I took back about half the things
I bought, because I didn't like something about them.....
I'm a picky little Diva, now, I guess.
(Not really!)
Before now, I was only visible 
to other people who were also invisible.
(That's my best guess)

That thing on my face was a smirk, or a smile maybe.
This was July 09... after 4 months of solid LoCarb-ing.
These were Size 20 Women's ... Down from size 24 W!!
I look at this now, and just kind of wonder 
"What was I thinking?" I guess I thought I was The Shiz.
Well, I guess I was!

Hope your weekend is gearing up!
Any Pre-holiday fun planned?

    Agree with Lucy and Ann. =)

    What is it about wearing smaller sizes on the bottom than the top? I have that problem, too, but I'm nowhere near size 8. Congrats to you !!!

    Oooh, I LIKE the fleecy pullover sweater! How fun that you are getting all gussied up. That scarf is lovely.

    I have a little bear shaped glass jar that I am tucking in spare dollars each week, and when I'm ready, I will buy some pretties, too.

    Great idea indeed!
    When I work an extra shift....
    Or give up monster drinks....
    Or anything like that, it goes into a $$ fund...
    Just for Wicked things and fun things.... trips, etc...
    By the way, craigslist is the bomb dot com!

    You've always been the shiz. Don't forget it. :)

    I actually do have some holiday fun planned. Tomorrow I am wrapping myself in battery operated Christmas lights then I'm going to a big street party called Lights in the Heights where you stroll around looking at Christmas lights. Fun!

    I find it hard to believe you were ever invisible. How can anyone resist your chipper self!??? I need to buy a sweater and jacket. I like that zippy thing with the red/blue. It's nice for the season, yes? And with the sunglasses, you look like you're about to intimidate someone. hahahahh!!!!

    And I love me kd lang. What a voice! If I were gay, I'd hit on her just so she'd sing to me!

    Happy Friday, Missy!

    Well heck, going from 24 to 20 was a big deal - don't take that away from yourself! You look great in your new togs. :)

    SIZE 24 to 20 then 14 (extra large) with an 8/10 pants.
    I think you weighed more than 200... More like 225 or 230 to start!
