It was hot in our area yesterday, and I left the house around 10:30 AM to
take care of several errands. I chose a black retro
style dress I purchased in 2020
and my Calvin Klein black patent slingbacks.
Before leaving, I also tried on my new black fur
jacket with the dress. I liked the way
these pieces worked together. I felt the pairing would work for a late lunch
or dinner given the proper weather scenario.
Below, a short video of the outfit of the day for May 19, 2026 and the try
on with the new black fur jacket.
The dress selection is another example of an older piece that fits better after my weight loss.

Lately, I have been working any number of software issues related to
various sites and applications, including a token problem with one of my
Instagram applications (see here and here), a Wordpress issue with my real estate site, and the live sports scores on the
WiredPages Sports page. I am incurring a security handshake problem with the
sports scores feed and have
yet to find a solution that will not offend my web host.
In addition, I setup my new Amazon Shop and uploaded my first product (cake turntable) video for the shop.
That said, I have also been preoccupied with losing weight. I am having success and can see the difference in the old photos and videos versus the new. So much so, I wanted to delete a lot.
On the right, a screen recording of my Google Fit stats for today, May 17, 2026 right after completing my morning workout session. Since late February, I have been averaging between 15,000 to 19,000 steps per day.
Below, some of the new items I have added to my closets for Summer 2026 activities and vacation.
Recently, I also purchased a black evening fur jacket. I have been searching for this jacket for about 2 years and cannot believe I finally found the perfect fur to pair with many of my evening fall/winter outfits. This is the link for the jacket. I am about 140 lbs, 5'6" and ordered the small based on reviews.
I am very pleased with this jacket.

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.

leggings I put on after I returned home.
Amazon Purchases

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.
Below, a short video of the outfit of the day for Wednesday, April 22,
2026.
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.
