New look

I was finishing up the tea-timer outfit (a long, close-fitting Chinese-style blouse usually worn with capris or a pencil skirt) for Adam and Abygail's wedding and although I'm not happy with the size of it, it fits well and looks good. And after spending the last two months in my overalls, it makes me feel nice to wear something that is pretty and feminine.

I was thinking, maybe I should go ahead and make myself some clothes for my current shape, despite my hopes that it will be returning to a previous form soon. Maybe hiding in baggy clothes and overalls is only discouraging me from getting back into shape. Maybe if I have some cute outfits that I feel good in, I'll feel better about myself--which will encourage me to eat better and be more faithful to my gym membership.

So! This weekend, off to the fabric store for some larger size patterns, and into the fabric stash to dig out some stretch twill for capris and maybe a couple skirts. Style world, I return.
