Lastly, I *loved* how my legs looked in these tights. That the skirt hit me mid-knee works perfectly with my height. It allows my legs not to look stumpy, but I'm still conservative and professional enough to hang out in court all day if need be. And of course the tights keep my legs warm and make them look amazing. Isn't this cooler weather just amazing?
The Details:
Skirt: Talbots
Top: Loft (via consignment store)
Heels: Nine West
Tights: Hue (?)

That red skirt is just gorgeous!
I think you could probably get a lot more use out of your current wardrobe with some minor tailoring. If it's in an area that's easy to hide (i.e., if you always wear shirts that cover the waistband), chances are you can do much of it yourself, but even a tailor shouldn't really be very expensive for minor fixes. I use my local dry cleaners and even the most complicated alterations have never cost me more than about $12. Same should go for replacing the heel pads on your shoes; that should not be an expensive fix at all.
You look AWESOME! I love the skirt with the opaque black tights and nude heels. Gorgeous. Honestly...I never had clothes tailored (other than one pricey dress from Banana Republic) after I lost weight, but began slowly building a new wardrobe, at least in terms of pants. Once I hit the 15-20 pound loss point...all of my bottoms just looked WRONG. And precarious aka I was in danger of mooning people. ;) Looking forward to hearing how you deal with it! It's such a tricky phase...I know I dumbly bought some new pants too early and wound up trading them in for the smaller size a month later. Getting healthier/losing weight is so fun and confidence boosting, but it certainly can be pricey/a pain, too.
Audi--thanks! I've never had shoes resoled or had heels fixed, so I had no concept of price range. This makes it way more reasonable than I had imagined. I hadn't thought of tackling the resizing on my own, but there are probably a few things I can fix for myself.
Caffeinerd: thanks so much, you're too sweet! I'm hoping to build a new wardrobe as all or most of my old stuff will need to be replaced anyway. I know that wearing a belt with pants will keep me from mooning people, but there comes a point where having a bunched up waistline just isn't cute. In the past I've used this as an excuse to let my weightloss taper off and just plateau, but I know better now. At some point, hopefully in the near future, I will be able to afford a wardrobe upgrade/replacement, albeit not all at once, so not losing weight b/c of that is just stupid.
