Thinspiration & Playing Virtual Dress Up... again!

Currently my motivation to hit the gym and starve myself:

Seriously, I can't decide which girl is most gorgeous.  It is unfair to bless someone with such beauty and then leave people like me with manly hands, big feet, excessive muffin top, lopsided breasts, uneven ears, huge pores, without an upper lip when I smile and oversized cheeks.  SO unfair!

Seeing this picture and others of women this pretty makes me want to throw in the gym towel (forever) and indulge in a cupcake or four... maybe with ice-cream on the side.  Arghhhhh!

Just kidding.  I am going to use them as my motivation.  I don't think it is possible for a body type like mine to be this thin.... but how I wish!

My other motivation?  I want to be one of those girls who can wear a skin tight dress that fits like a glove and look flawless without a bulge hanging off in the wrong place.  Perhaps a simple dress like this:

(Though I wouldn't say that its the nicest dress ever, it seems to be a very form fitting dress 

and if you've got the right body to put in it, then its simple and sexy.)

For now, I have to stick with these type of dresses with lots of loose fabrics to hide my bulges.  This one in particular looks... fun.  If it was in white, you can probably pull it off for a toga party!  :D

I ADORE this dress!  You probably can't tell in this picture, but it is a sequined silk-chiffon dress.  I know that its simple and you can probably find something similar elsewhere for a fraction of the price, but I was on the website earlier and am so intrigued by the details of the dress.  Ahhhh... I want, gimme gimme!

Its official.  I DO have a jacket/coat/trench obsession.  BUT... look how chic this is!  I can already think of 8363974 different things to wear it with!  Again, I am so in like with the details!  Ahhhh... I really do need to win the lottery... quick!

Okay I think that is enough of me playing Virtual Dress Up for the day!  I think I'm going to start calling it that and giving it its own category on my blog because I do it often and its just so much fun.  Of course, I can't afford these pieces in real life, but there is nothing wrong with playing pretend, right?

Playing Virtual Dress Up...

Loving this dress right now and I can't finger point as to why, but I just think its pretty.  I wish I had some sort of semi-formal event I had to go to this weekend or next.  I know it looks sort of plain and my Husband would think that it looks "Granny-ish" as he does with most pieces I like, but what does he know about fashion anyway?

I am also loving the coral/salmon colors right now.  Maybe its Spring that got me infatuated with the color.  Just seeing the color brightens up my day and makes me HAPPY for some reason.  I love this dress... simple, yet elegant...
Now... where can I find a cheaper (MUCH cheaper) version of it?

I know you're probably thinking that I'm such a plain jane, right?  Well, if you are, then you're right.  I've tried to convince myself to like lots of patterns and graphics, but I can't.  I just can't.  I can't seem to pull myself away from my usual solid colors.  Is there a solid colors treatment somewhere?

OH... and look at this adorable jacket:
Lambskin leather... my fave!!  I have a jacket obsession, I think.  I am beginning to think that I like jackets more than I like purses and shoes.  How strange because I love purses and shoes a lot... so this ought to say something.  I've spent way more $$ on jackets than I have purses and shoes combined.  Speaking of, I still need to put one of my never worn Valentino pieces for sale.  I must have been drunk when I ordered it online one day.  Freakin' Intermix and their 14 days return policy.  Grrr... another reminder not to procrastinate, Thyda!

Speaking of procrastination, I better stop playing virtual dress up (though it is SO much fun) and actually do something productive for a change.  I got a response from one of the jobs that I applied to back in January (finally)... so wish me luck!  :D
