I have had to replace my dress slacks and skirts and tailor some pieces (as in yesterday's post), but some, like this sweater and tee combination (that I LOVE by the way) I am just doing the best with what I have.
When I create the slide of the pictures, I can lay one on top of the other to get them as close to the same size as possible. It looks a little like I'm leaning in the "after" picture, but as you can see from the grid on the floor, I think the camera is leaning more than I am. (Stupid new phone) I tried straighting that up but can only rotate it so far with the editing software here.
This is a side by side with a photo taken in June of last year (left) as compared this one taken this week.
Pardon my hair in the "after" picture on the right. it's time for a haircut.
I can really tell a difference in both my face and my midsection. See how the sweater is pulling back from my tummy in the right photo. And look how slim my face is! I can also see definition in my chin, neck, and collarbones. Hard work is really paying off!
FINALLY!!
I remember that had felt pretty good about how I was looking in this photo from June. Now I feel even better!
I promise that I am going to improve on the background of all these "selfies." This is the ladies room at my office, where there is a large, floor-length mirror by the door. The lighting is not great and sometimes is hard to guage where it is actually hitting you, hence the narly shadows. When I can snag someone to take one in the lobby, I do it.
My next big expense in the "closet room" is a standup mirror, so I can start posting some pics from home. Then I will put more thought into my background.
