New outfits from boutique

So, obviously I haven't done any posting on this blog since the summer.  Once school and soccer season started for my kids, my focus had to shift so blogging about my health journey had to get put by the wayside.  Any other crazy busy working moms out there too?  Plus my 2nd part time job as a photographer took off in the Fall too, so I was very busy with that too!

Anyway, I'm happy to report I made it through the holiday season without too much damage on my new healthy lifestyle.  I did indulge, within reason, at special holiday events and family dinners, but I feel like I just listened to my body and didn't overdo it.  I gained about 3-4 lbs total back, but I'm already on my way to getting those back off!  Back on track without all the holiday dessert temptations!

I decided to get on here and do a quick fashion blog post for fun.  I found a new place to order from online, The Pink Lily Boutique (http://.thepinklilyboutique.com) I like that was advertised on my facebook newsfeed, and ordered a couple new outfits.  I'm really happy with my outfit choices!  Both tops in the pictures (size mediums, my normal size) and both pants below came from there.  (The boots were ones I already had, that I believe I ordered online at Charlotte Russe (http://charlotterusse.com)

The black pants are the basic fleece lined leggings, which are paired with the Simply Perfect Chevron Tunic (the name really says that!).  The fleece leggings are really soft and comfy and stretchy, but not too thin.  They were a one size fits most (0-10).  I would only wear a long tunic shirt or dress with them still, but that's just me.  (the old debate, are leggings pants? . . . I say they can be pants if worn with long shirts :-)  The tunic is a lightweight "sweatery" material, so I'll have to be careful not to snag it on things.  But it is very comfy too, and I like the scooped hem line in front and back on the shirt.

My second outfit was the dark wash skinny jeans (these run small, and said so on their website . . . I normally wear a 6 in Old Navy jeans right now, but ordered these in size 11, and they seem to fit perfect, not too tight, not too loose).  Then the top with the jeans is a light red comfy "Back to Basics Red Tunic".  This top was a little wider than I expected, but I still think medium fits better than a small might.  It is shorter in front and longer in back.  And it has the "wing" type sleeves with extra material between the arms and armpits.

So, facebook marketing "got me!"  But I'm glad I found a new site that I like the clothes at.  A little more expensive than I may normally spend, but maybe they'll have some percentages off in the future.  I joined their email list, so hopefully I'll be notified of new deals.  I had gotten a few new summer outfits after my weight loss in the summer, but haven't gotten many new winter outfits.  So, it was nice to get these.  I'm sure I'll be back to The Pink Lily Boutique for more in the future.  I'll share on here hopefully again when I do!
