Leather's Not Just for Bondage Any More

For those of you not familiar with Mary Kate and Ashley's clothing line, it's called The Row. It's amazing. And, of course, very pricey. It has an elegant simplicity that I adore, and one day, I will buy something from the line. I saw this boxy leather top on the Bergdorf Goodman site and fell in love. I do want it very badly. I wish I could pair it with these black pants, but I cannot, because I could never pull it off, but with straight leg jeans for a dressed down look and loafers or brogues would be divine.

Saturday, 3/26 Meals:

Breakfast
Lara Bar

Lunch
Cobb salad from Panera Bread with bacon, tomato, and cheese removed (leaving lettuce, egg, and chicken).
No dressing from Panera, added olive oil at Tracey's house.

Dinner
Lamb chop with salt and pepper pan seared
Artichoke heart and asparagus medley
One glass of Pinot Noir (If I'm going to be miserable trying to lose all of this weight, I at least need to allow myself to drink to cope with it!)

By the way, tonight, I was standing in front of Lyla, not wearing anything tight at all, and she poked me a few times in my stomach. She then asked, "Mom, why is your belly so big?" The innocent question that stung so much led me to simply reply, "Because Mommy needs to lose some weight." That seemed to satisfy her. Thankfully.
