I set out to try and figure it out to see if it's something Mingo needs to be a part of (It is... follow me at: http://wanelo.com/mingoink) At first I really worked at finding out how to post stuff (slightly more confusing than Pinterest, at least to me.) Once I got that figured out, I started playing around and I discovered: EXTRA MOTIVATION.
I love "Playing Dress-Up" and putting things together. However, there are only certain styles that I can pull off now with my current shape (mostly dresses with a thick empire waist that flair out... with leggings and boots, it's kinda my wardrobe. This year I did filter in grey leggings instead of just black and riding boots!) Part of my goals are to reinvent myself and my wardrobe as I get closer to my goal, so a lot of my posts on Wanelo revolve around that...
Like, could I pull off this dress with a leather jacket, vintage jewelry and heeled boots? Loving the edgy sweet look, but is it me?

My wedding was absolutely amazing. The only thing that wasn't: me. I used to eat when I was stressed. Most people lose weight before their wedding... I didn't. So while my dress was beautiful the key "IT" factor I was looking for was flattering, nothing out of the box. Which also meant that I was in the world of A Line, while a great style it wasn't the me I wanted for that day. Part of my goal for this year, get to the point where I could wear the dress/style I love. Once I get there: a vow renewal, somewhere tropical, in something like this.

AND this
With Mingo my goal was to take simply designed shirts that have a purpose and to show them in a variety of ways (such as the Karma v-neck tee with a mini skirt and cowboy boots OR with yoga pants OR under a blazer with jeans or a skirt.) Like this whole outfit below with my V Neck Black and White Inner Beauty tee. However, right now pencil skirts do not work... but wait, soon you will see them on me so much it'll make your head spin!

I have never worn a swimsuit that doesn't cover absolutely everything, not to mention a cover up over that, usually a dress that dries well. Nothing that compares to the amazing fashion sense I actually have. Which as a side affect means I usually avoid situations that require such attire (okay I just really wanted to complete the rhyme.)

So moral of the story, I feel so good about the 12lbs gone the last 2 weeks and I can't wait to reach my milestones. Instead of getting frustrated I'm using all of the outfits spinning around in my head to keep me on track. How do/would you wear your Mingo? What you keeps you on track to your 2013 goals?
Cheers!
