I took care of a couple of errands yesterday morning. I chose the high waisted tapered leg black slacks I purchased in 2024. The slacks are an off brand so I am not posting the link, however, I think the popular Zara brand should come to mind.
I paired the slacks with a plain black knit top and then layered with the olive open knit sweater, also purchased in 2024. I added brass jewelry including
doorknocker earrings and bracelet and finished the look with my Nine West Peni slingbacks.
As I have mentioned before, I love working out in biking shorts and
leggings. When I returned home, I put on a pair of the recently purchased
TNNZEET black leggings that I love. I also tried on a pair of the
biking shorts.
Links are available below- for both the leggings and biking shorts.
Below, a short video of the outfit of the day for May 4, 2026 and the black
leggings I put on after I returned home.

It has been rainy and cooler since the weekend, so on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 I chose my Calvin Klein Corduroy Black Sport Skirt (a 1980 size 8), Nine West Black Suede Boots, and the brown wool sweater I purchased in Syracuse in 1985.
I purchased the Calvin Klein Sport Skirt when I was in college around 1980. I seldom wore the skirt and although the waist is a little tight, thought I would try on several items to see if I could make it work 46 years later.
Below, a short video of the items I paired with the skirt.
The black buckle sweater shown in the video and in one of the photos above, was also purchased when I was in college. I am not sure why I never throw out my clothes, however, I am happy I still have these pieces.

It has been a busy week and on Wednesday, April 22, 2026 relatives from out of town stopped by briefly.
Since I was not leaving the house, I decided on active wear for the outfit of day, however, added a new Jockey Yoga Jacket to the mix.
The Jockey Satin Stitch Yoga Jacket was purchased from Costco, however, it is also available from Amazon.

The black leggings are part of another recent Amazon order. The details are provided below.

I had several errands to run first thing Monday morning. While the temps were in the mid to high 80s most of last week, forecasts predicted cooler weather for Monday, April 20, 2026 so I chose an old Cassidy tweed lined pencil skirt.
Although I was able to get into the size 8 skirt a year ago, I could not button
the waist button, so yesterday morning when I finally achieved this
feat, I was pleased.
I paired the skirt with the bean paste cashmere sweater I found on the Aliexpress site, black suede Aerosoles pumps, and my Jillian Jones sweater jacket.

I recently put new batteries in my Yunmai digital scale so in the near future I will begin weigh ins. For some reason, before now, I only checked how my clothes fit. I am so pleased with my weight loss efforts that I am ready to check other measurements on a regular basis.

I love working out in biking shorts and leggings. I needed to replace a lot of my old shorts and leggings- so recently I ordered a total of ten pairs of leggings and 7 pairs of biking shorts.
The following photos show examples of the new black leggings as I wear them for workouts and as a try on for a casual afternoon outing.
I do not normally wear leggings out, so I am not sure I would really wear them as shown, however, I wanted to test the look.
I continue to work on the last 25lbs of the weight I want to lose. I think I need to lose about 20lbs to reach my goal weight of 125lbs.

I had several errands to run yesterday, April 8, 2026. It was kind of chilly with bright sunny skies.
For my outfit, I chose a sleeveless Liz Claiborne black dress, a short
caramel suede-like lined jacket, and my Nine West Snowfall caramel suede boots.
Below, a short video of the outfit I wore Wednesday, April 8,
2026.
