vanillafluffyMy hips were a little sore this morning, but that's the only after-effect I noticed from yesterday's exercise. So hopefully, we can manage a little more tomorrow. Or Saturday.
A few more try-ons today: the dress I want to wear as part of my Full Moon Ball ensemble. I've had it for...at least a year, and while it's snug, it's wearable. Or I could wear my dress from the wedding, just tart it up a little.... Rhinestones...I need a bunch of rhinestones.
The other thing I pulled on was my black faux-fur trimmed winter coat, which dates back to the Salvation Army store on the west side of Orlando circa '99---I think. I'm pretty sure it was around then...I *know* I was with HWSNBN, because I had to borrow the $15 from him and he was very diligent about getting it back. I don't *think* we were shacked up at the time, which would've meant '99.
It's a very dramatic sort of coat, not sure if it's retro, or just old, but either way, it's very nice quality. Which is why I HAD to borrow the money, since there was another chick who was ready to snap it up if I didn't make the purchase then and there. It's black wool---at least, I think it's wool---with a detachable black faux-fur collar and faux-fur trimming the bottom of the sleeves---except they aren't so much sleeves as they are raglan capes. Not much use on a windy day, but oh my, they give the coat the look of something from a Currier & Ives print. Or, if worn with my black faux-fur pillbox, the darling of the Romanovs.... Yes, my clothes help me live a double life!
Anyway, I got said coat, and wore it happily that winter, and haven't really been able to get into it since. Until now. Granted, I didn't have much to speak of on under it, but I hope that by the time we get to serious "real coat in Florida" weather this winter, that I'll have shaved off a few more pounds/inches. I'd like it to fit well, not just hold my breath and button up. I know the difference, it's just that the coat was cool enough for me to disregard it. I've been known to do that, surprise, surprise....
That's another thing: I really OUGHT to get my measurements taken---it's been a couple of years. I think it was something along the lines of 56-51-74 (VERY pear-shaped!), but that was circa 340-350.
'Night, all....
