Wardrobe Capsule Challenge

Jane from has just mentioned that she's starting another round of the Wardrobe Capsule project for Winter/Spring 2010. I can't wait to get started on March 1st! I think I'm going to plan a lot of my outfits around the color Turquoise as that's the 'it' color of the season. For a quick run down of the project, see Jane's blog above.

Kimberly's Inspiration calender called for a vest and skinny jeans today. I have one pair of skinnies that are too big so the regular boot-cut jeans came out to play. I actually have a hard time finding skinny jeans that fit because I'm so short (5'3") and curvy. Hopefully boot-cut and wide-leg jeans never go out of style, haha!

I really like the way this outfit looks! The red is definitely a nice touch with purple. Plus, I've been stalking this wrap dress for a few weeks now and finally found it in my size. What made the deal even sweeter is that I paid less than what the tag was marked--woohoo!

I've owned this skirt forever and have yet to wear it until today. It's bright and a wee bit tight. Should I keep it or chuck it?

Kicking up the style game

I'm testing out this new feature on flickr that allows you to configure your blog to your photo account. I really liked the way that this outfit came together, especially considering how much my husband hates this dress. Even he had to admit that I styled dope! haha!

I'm still here!

I've got to get better with posting pictures! Good news: I am actually smaller now than before I became pregnant! I'm down to about 135-138lbs. which is awesome considering baby girl is now 10 months. Now, I have to focus on eating right and revamping my sexy mama wardrobe.

I seemed to have leveled out, weight-wise. Our scale is kinda wonky but I feel like I'm around 150lbs, which isn't bad considering I was around 140lbs before I became pregnant. I'm still bellydancing and have been consistently using a bellydance DVD on the nights I'm not in class. Not bad for 6 months pp :)
