Mary

Hi Mary.

I just wanted to thank you so much for coming over and helping
me on Tuesday. That was great fun! I've already moved the
clothes to the other bedroom and have had a couple of friends
look at them to see if they wanted anything before donating to
Goodwill. I went shopping at Lane Bryant in Southlake yesterday
and found some cute stuff that made me look skinny and younger
(but not too young). So I have maybe one more pair of pants or
crops to get and I'm set for a few months. Thank you so much!

I hope your drive in that awful rain wasn't too bad. I thought of
you and wondered if you made it to Soma that afternoon.

I've sent you name and website to about 15 people just a few
minutes ago. Hopefully you will get some referrals from that. :-) I'm
sure I'll be back in touch after I lose some more weight.

You asked me to send you a picture. Is that of me now? Or
what is it you will be using it for so I know what kind of picture
to send?

Again, you're awesome. Thank you!!!

Hi, Mary! Yes, I went shopping and bought some v-neck shirts and
lower tops. I wore an outfit yesterday which fit all the categories. The first
person I saw said, "you look great". Then, I went the the surgery center
for a checkup and ran into the nutritionist. She said "oh my gosh! you
look fabulous!" What a day! I am planning to go out Saturday to
Dillards. Mom and Dad gave me a gift card for there for my birthday
(yesterday). I also went to Sam Moom and bought some larger jewelry
than what I am used to.

I will definitely send you pictures (I just have to figure out how to get
them from my camera to the computer). We (Wendy, Roxanne, and I)
meet next Thursday for the Support Group meeting so I will get pictures
there.

Question: What are tonal outfits? Does that mean the same color? I have
a lot of bright pink, red (with blue undertones), and teal tops but pretty
much have black skirts or pants. Do I need to change that?

Thanks for all of your help!

Mary has truly found her calling! I don't know how she does it, but
she can tell so much about a person's inner self by looking through
her closet! She found the real me underneath all of my clothes. I was
hanging on to clothes from high school, which was over 20 years
ago.

I think I never really looked at my body long enough to know what
actually fit me. And the great thing is, Mary came in and gave me the
freedom to let a lot of that go, and to embrace the new, working wife
and mom with kids person that I was!

I love that she didn't try to make me into some fashionista that I'm
not, she has simply taught me how to shop for clothes that I will
actually wear and like.

With simple rules and some practice, she has given me a new
confidence in shopping and dressing. I have had more people ask
what has changed... did I get a haircut? I even had someone tell me
I looked taller!
I think I'm just more confident and happy in the clothes that I am
wearing, and it shows. Mary saved me from the "blahness" that I
didn't know I had fallen into, and she gave me permission to take
care of myself, so that I'd be able to take care of everyone else in
my life.

My friends are all asking for Mary now... She's fabulous and gifted in
this area!
