Shopping spree (PICs) and I'm not even mid-goal.

Even though I still have almost two thirds of the weight to loose, I could not help myself and went on a clothing shopping spree.
Going to a sample sale will do that to you (2 months ago I would not be able to fit into anything they sell at a sample sale, so I went wild).

These are all Nanette Lepore:
Yellow summer dress:

My mom says that this is very immodest and I should tie up the top like this.

My husband disagrees. Who do you agree with?

Is this a hoodie or a dress?

This one has subtle metallic shimmer in knit fabric (can't capture it on a picture).

This one is also knit and has very subtle shimmer, many colors and textures of the knitting. Very pretty in person in nice deep colors:

And lastly, this one is not from sample sale, I bought it pretty close to the full price. I posted this in another thread as an update to my search for a dress to wear to a friend's daytime wedding.

    Love it! Especially the yellow one and the pinkish one! (I agree with your mom though :) Keeping it classy is always better than being considered "trashy") <--no offense in that at all, by no means am I calling you trashy just to clear that up lol. Keeping it classy just seems to always go better, and keep people from saying things. But, they are beautiful! And thats awesome!! I can't wait to get new clothes once I get my goal!!

    i don't really think the yellow dress looks immodest untied, but I do like it better tied.

    The last dress & the yellow one are my faves! Also I think it looks better tied in my opinion just the way it looks & comes together...if that makes sense. :) You look great btw!

    I like the yellow dress tied - it gives it a better shape, and actually your breasts look better with it done up than undone.

    As for the last dress. LOVE it...like OMG love!

    Hey, shopping mid goal is not a problem for me, lol. I did the same thing. Some people reward with a special meal, I buy clothes!

    Okay the first yellow one is super cute. I have no problem with a little cleavage, or a lot of cleavage. I just think the ties hanging look a little sloppy. Your figure looks nice, and curvy tied.

    The hoodie, I would throw on some leggings.

    The coral lace number is to die for!

    Looking great! I love the yellow dress, but I do agree with your mom. when it's done up it hugs your curves more and looks a lot more flattering.

    Hon you are freakin' rockin' those dresses(every one of them)...should have a lot of fun with hubby at the wedding...lol:devil: :heart: :drinker:

    And I agree with mom, your figure is better complimented with the yellow dress tied. A pair of tights and Uggs for the hoodie/dress and you're gtg.:smokin:

    Thank you all, this is very motivating :)

    I know none of these will fit when I reach my goal weight, but a girl wants to look good in the meantime too!

    Darn, I wish I could see the pictures from work! I'll have to take a look when I get home. New clothes in smaller sizes are so much fun!!!!

    I'm down two sizes and need to go shopping for fun dresses!
