the road to fabulous

nothing to wear

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

i've reached that point now. none of my trousers and jeans will stay on anymore. they're all like 5-6 inches too big for me. that's way beyond the point where you can just tighten them with a belt. believe me, i tried, and the waistband bunches up and there are so many folds all around that they just look lousy.

when i started on this diet, a size 16 (US) was too tight for me. now i'm a size 12 (US).

it's a good thing i kept some of my skirts from when manuel and i were dating. they're the only ones i can wear now! sadly, not all of my blouses go well with skirts. and i'm still halfway toward my goal weight, so i can't buy new pants just yet.

any suggestions?

wow! this is great to hear pat! inspiring kaayo ka. I have this black synthetic leather obi belt that goes with any top, loose or fitting. It goes with any colours too. You can wear it on the hips, waist, or above the waist. i might send you a pic if i can find one.

hi irene! thanks for the tip. but my problem really is that my jeans and trousers fall around my hips now. and if i belt them up, the material just bunches up all over, creating really ugly pleats. =(

Just get one black pants, maybe one with elastic or stretchable material,so you'll have something to wear for the meantime. And then throw away the old ones because you are not going back to them. That is so great - you've done it in such a short time.

hi t! my skirts don't work with tunics because they're like either a-line or the peasant type. =( they only ever work with tighter-fit tops like a t-shirt that clings a bit. and since my waistline is still huge by normal standards (34 inches!), i can't wear belts just yet. =(
