Tuesday WW Group - Plaid Prada Peeking Out

After last week, this week feels very anticlimactic: I'm still waiting to hear if I got the job (they called yesterday for my references, yay!), and there are only a few social things on the calendar.

Today, my Tuesday group:
Our theme was "Celebrating Success" and it was a really good meeting - my group has now lost over 100 lbs!

I love this creamy white jacket - it was a fabulous consignment find a few years ago - it's amazingly good quality and fit. I haven't worn it since the 3rd Wardrobe Challenge (it was in the dry-cleaning bag for several months).

I built this outfit around the blouse:

First worn here (ha, same shoes and belt), this is my $3.99 Prada. I love bragging about it!

The stuff:

L and I are going to Vancouver soon, and I'll be checking out Fluevog for another gem like the ones above. What will it be? Hmmmm...

Jacket (Club Monaco, consignment), blouse (Prada, thrifted), skirt (Linda Allard for Ellen Tracy, thrifted), belt (Plum), shoes (Listen Up, Audrey, Fluevog).

Presto, Change-O!

I had a pretty crazy day yesterday: I filled in at the Thursday WW meeting again, and I filled in at another meeting in another area of town a few hours after the first one ended.

I topped off my evening by drinking a bottle of wine! Huzzah!

This is what I wore to the first meeting:
The blouse and skirt are both new, from the Plum close-out sale. I am kicking myself for not buying the skirt in chocolate brown as well as this rich charcoal grey - it was gone when I went back to check yesterday.

The blouse was $20 on sale (regular $69), and I love the shape of it, especially the collar/neckline. I did have to add the cami because it was rather cleavage-y. It was made in Canada.

The skirt is a nice thick double-knit poly-blend, again, made in Canada. It was $25, regular $75. It's got a high waist and no slit, which I was a little worried about for walking, but the stretchiness of it made it awesome. How much do I love pencil skirts? Well, duh.

Unfortunately, that shirt's collar did not lay flat and stay nice for the morning meeting - it drove me absolutely NUTS by shifting around and not laying flat. I was so annoyed by it that it's going straight into the consignment bag. Bah! It's gotta go!

I changed into my other white shirt for the evening meeting:

Same cami underneath, and added L's cufflinks (previously worn here). I liked this a whole lot more, comfort-wise.

Before I get to the stuff, I want to give a shout-out to my dear friend Cat. I got to weigh her in yesterday, and be the first to see her back at her goal weight (and no longer paying!). She started WW a month after I did, so we've sort of been doing it together for all these years (just over 4 years). Cat, I am so damned proud of you. You are an amazing woman!

The stuff:

My glorious Fluevog "Listen Up" Audrey shoes. My reds aren't matching in this outfit (the cami is a deep raspberry shade), but whatever, close enough! I love this Smoking Lily obi.

A (blurry) close-up:

I like the mix of gold with grey to really make it pop.

Oh, and at Terri's request, here's my WW nametag:

I'm real!

Short-sleeved blouse (Tobias), long-sleeved blouse (Banana Republic, thrifted), cami (gift from Ruth), skirt (Plum), shoes (Fluevog "Listen Up" Audrey), obi (Smoking Lily, consignment), necklace (Foxy), cufflinks (L's, vintage Hickok), earrings (gift from L).
