recent purchases

Hi guys! Hope you're all having a great Monday! It's raining over here so the kids and I are going a little stir crazy. Clementine and I started a new 9 week program with EA Sports Active 2 for wii today! I've lost 70 lbs so far playing on easy, so we bumped it up to medium this time. I'm super excited about it!

I still need to update about Kiki's birthday, but we took SO many wonderful and silly pictures that I'm having a hard time editing them down to post here. So instead of that, here's a recent purchases post because I've been spoiling myself a bit lately.

first was kind of a splurge for me:
heart flock trousers from TOPSHOP
I kept seeing picture of girls on tumblr wearing these pants, and I kept pinning them to pinterest and visiting them on the topshop site HOPING they would go on sale. Then one day I went to visit them and every size was sold out except for mine. 
I had to do it.

♥ ♥ ♥ THESE PANTS!!! ♥ ♥ ♥
I am obsessed.

my mom gave me $50 to spend at forever21 for mother's day (how sweet is that?!) and this is what I ended up ordering
you may remember me wearing the dress in my "dirty 30" birthday party post
here I am wearing the polka dot bodysuit
funny story about my next purchase: 
I was staying at my mom & dads for the weekend and I was having trouble sleeping one night so my dad gave me one of his sleeping pills... I woke up the next day with a order confirmation from urbanoutfitters and I have NO MEMORY of buying these things
the shoes were on sale, so at least I'm thrifty when I sleep shop :3
last but certainly not least
I've been taking the kids to the pool a lot lately, and since I'm still pretty insecure about my post pregnancy belly I've been looking around for a cute one-piece. After my amazing luck with ebay when I bought my Doc Martens I decided to poke around and see what I could find last night and ended up buying this:
it's from Anthropologie (Pez D'Or)
originally sold for $158 and I was able to find it NEW on ebay for $66
glob bless ebay

    1. I am so in love with them, but I'm a little scared to wear them any place they might get dirty D:

      I'm praying to Alvis that you get a budweiser one-piece :D

  4. whoa 70 pounds, that is amazing!! it sounds silly but I bet actually doing beginner contributed to you keeping it up, sometimes I go into super workout mode but always quit after a few weeks. anyway, way to go, seriously that's incredible! & great find on that suit too!

    1. Oh I'm sure! I learned that after trying to lose the baby weight from my daughter. I would push too hard and burn out quick. Slow and steady wins the race :)

    1. Thank you! My wii workouts are usually around 1/2 an hour and I do them 4 days a week. I also have Dance Central 2 for xbox kinect that I play pretty often, but I don't take it as seriously as my wii workouts.

      a big contributor to my weight loss has been cutting carbs out of my diet as much as possible. The first three days of low carb are hell, but after that it's awesome and the weight just falls off.
