As I lose more weight, I am trying new styles to offset the fact I have very few pieces in the casual wear category that now fit, in that most of my old stuff in the size 6-8 range are either business wear items or evening attire.

That said, for some reason the new pair of slacks I have on in the following photos were paired with evening pieces rather than casual items.

The vest shown in the following photos is new. I have some old jeans from high school and college I will pair with the vest. I really like the vest, however, right now it is a bit tight. I plan to lose the weight. The slacks in the photos are extra large, however, the style accommodates both smaller and larger frames. I liked the color pairing.

The olive jumpsuit shown below is also a new piece purchased this summer. The sweater is old.

The brown sweater and slacks are new. Both size small. The suede boots and scarf are old. The sweater is very lightweight, however, I like this look for mid to late fall.

Finally, the black dress I have on in the following photos was purchased in the early 90s. It is a size 5/6. I purchased the shoes at the same time. I am trying to understand why I am not happy with this outfit now. I think I need to lose another 5 lbs to make it work, however, I am not sure.

I hope to reach my weight goals by mid October.
