To celebrate the fact that I now dropped 55 pounds - yay! - I bought some new clothes! Some gorgeous t-shirts, a jacket - and jeans.

The jeans fit me really well in the hip and thigh regions, but I could fit twice in them in the waist part. You see, I have the classic hourglass figure - my waist is 25 cm narrower than my hips. Which is not a problem when it comes to summer clothes, I just buy skirts and pants with an elastic waistband, right? But with the fall and winter clothes? Not really an option, it's all zippers and buttons. And when I use a belt - without it, the pants would simply drop to my ankles! - the material is all bunched up under it, looking really ugly. Luckily, I love wearing long sweaters, but still, it's kinda uncomfortable. I guess I will have to learn how to sew and put some folds in the back... *sigh*

For personal reasons, I was feeling blue today, and I really needed cheering up. So, I bought these:



Witt International was having a sale and all of them were 40% off, so... They're either from acrylic fibers or cotton - acrylic fibers are just so very, very soft, it's like handling pure fluff... So yeah.

It seems like I've been running around like a headless chicken these last few days. My mom's signed up for a surgery next week, which means she has all these doctor appointments that I have to drive her to since she doesn't have a driver's license. And that on top of my own errands and doc appointments... AND work. It feels like I haven't actually stopped and took a breather in days...

But at least I bought a very nice burgundy dress they had on sale in Tesco today - for 7 bucks! And I bought it in size 46 and it fits! Yeah, it's from a stretchy material, but still it FITS like a glove. Gosh, that made me so happy. I also bought two really nice rings at I Am, yeah, it's cheap costume jewelry but they look SO nice! I don't need real gold or silver, it's enough when it's pretty!

♦ Went to see Deadpool today. Funny movie, though a bit too crude for my taste and not all that suspenseful. Ed Skrein rocks.

♦ Bought an electric kettle. And it doesn't work. It's the THIRD KETTLE IN A ROW that I bought and that was faulty. The THIRD KETTLE! Apparently, somebody somewhere hates me...

♦ Saw the trailers for Huntsman: Winter's War, Superman vs. Batman, Allegiance and Gods of Egypt. The only one that got my interest was Allegiance because I love Four. Huntsman also wasn't half-bad. The rest, eh...

♦ Bought wonderful dangly earrings in the I Am shop. One pair has tiny zircons in a wire cage, the other is a bunch of small leaves on a short chain. Wonderful. They make me feel pretty.

I've now lost 41 pounds! Huzzah! And to celebrate, I bought some new clothes...



The leggings I bought specifically to wear with one dress which I got yesterday in Tesco. Wonderful, amazing jersey dress, black and petroleum blue, so light and so very, very soft. And for 6 dollars only since they had a sale. Amazing. I almost cooed when I touched the fabric, it's so soft... *happy sigh*

As of this morning, I lost 38 pounds since March 31 2015! 38 pounds, folks! *twirls and dances* I feel so accomplished!

And I also bought these cute things...



The pants look amazing, just like the white t-shirt. I will have to get used to the striped one since it's cut as a woman's blouse and I'm used to unisex t-shirts, but it's also so very, very lovely... \o/

I won't talk about pounds this time around, but about my hips - TMI, I know, LOL! I'm now 10cm down! One more centimeter and I'll be 2 sizes down! Jesus Christ on a tortilla! When I took my measurements - I decided to buy two very cute sweaters - I literally goggled and had to do it twice AND check my measuring tape, just to be sure. Like... WHAT?! In 5 months, I lost 10 frickin' centimeters around my hips! I now once again fit into pants I haven't been able to wear for years!

Unfortunately, I also hurt my back, so now I feel this pulling, stabbing pain in my right side, going from back to front, whenever I bend down. Ouchie! I have my regular 2 year check-up next month. If it doesn't go away, I'll have to seek treatment.

Oh, these are the two sweaters I ordered:



I have a huge weakness for the colors grey, blue and its shades and brown. When I saw these... Man, Witt International has the most beautiful things but these two, I kept coming back to them!
