With my recent weight loss I have looked forward to trying on old and new clothes to see how things are shaping up.

Around ten this morning, after my AM routine, I did my hair and makeup in preparation for trying on Fall fashion styles along with some of the new pieces recently acquired.

This did not go exactly as planned.

One of the old pieces, I have always wanted to wear is the brown sweater shown in the following photos.

The problem with the sweater is not size, more, it simply did nothing for me. I purchased it from the Saks Off Fifth Avenue at Arundel Mills many years ago thinking at the time- it was more suitable for the area I lived and worked in.

Next I tried on another sweater with the same cords and boots and liked the results better.

That said, I was annoyed about the first sweater and thought about the Mac & Cheese casserole I made Friday and finished off late Saturday. Why doesn't that sweater work for me? I look heavy.

The upshot? I did not want to try on more old Fall pieces.

So next, I tried different looks with one of the new tube tops.

This too rather annoyed me because I thought my top seemed disproportionate as compared to the rest of the look. Yes, I had on the new strapless black bra, which does have a bit of padding.

Thought the outfit looked better in the mirror than the photos I took. One of the photos shows an evening jacket that will help to correct the styling error. In my case, when I wear something like the tube top shown, I always have a jacket or shirt topper.
