Took the GRE yesterday...did good, but not FANTASTIC, which I would like to do to ensure my entry into graduate school :D I am signed up to take it again next month and have no doubt I will do awesome now that I know what it is all about.
I also had an exam today... really hard ;(
Exam tomorrow... fml.
LSATs next semester, just in case I decide I don't want to go to grad school for math. That should be fun! I am thinking about signing up to take them at the beginning of February so I can study during winter break. Actually, that is what I probably will do!
Anyway, weightloss is going... slow, but I am ever decreasing in size :D I plan on working out A LOT tomorrow so I can reach my goal for Friday. I will have to lose 1.5 pounds tomorrow, but I think it is doable!
Bedtime!

Winter Coat Options!
I am on the hunt for a new winter coat... I am thinking white this year, but am not sure. Here are my options thus far:
Alloy: Long Swing Coat in Ivory - $87.92
I love this. The length is perfect as it will hide the sides of my legs and make me look very long when I wear heels. Along with that, it is double breasted so when it is opened it will only give a little glimpse as to what I am wearing underneath... I like that! That is what I love about my black winter coat, so this is a DEFINITE contender!
Alloy: Swing Coat in Ivory - $79.92
This is almost identical to the first except it is not double breasted. I like the buttons on this one better, and I probably like the overall look a little better, but I know I wouldn't like it as much ON ME, ya know? I just feel like I need the coverage that a double breasted coat offers... What do you think?
Zumiez: Billabong Girls Audrey Black Plaid Jacket - $79.99
I LOVE THIS COAT! Check out the wool collar! So adorable! I just feel like it won't go with anything :/ What do you think? I am tempted by this one because Zumiez is doing a buy-one-get-on half off thing, so I could get two coats... problem is? Their other coats are just blah... Not hideous, but not super cute. What is Manders to do!?
What are other sites to find coats on? I looked at Forever 21 and UO and they did not really have anything I liked. I am going to look at h&m next time I am at the mall... they usually have coats I like :)
On to weight loss stuff...
I have been SO bloated due to periodness... I am 3.2 pounds off of my goal set for Friday. I know it is a stretch, but I think if I work out tonight after my GRE and work out tomorrow and Thursday (although I have exams) I should be able to make it. I think I am holding an extra 1.5lb in water weight, so once I shed that and exercise I should be able to meet Friday's goal. If I stay on track I should be 149 by January 1st. I wanted to be below 150 for the new year because on January 1st it will be three years since I was that weight. Getting back there would be AWESOME and it would prove to me I can meet my goals and succeed in my weight loss!

All Ramones ALLLLLL The Time
Today I plan on going to lunch somewhere and studying for my GRE! I take it on Tuesday and have not even opened up a study book! I AM HORRIBLE, I KNOW! I will study more for my subject specific math GRE, I promise! Anyway, on to the outfit... it is chilly, so I went for a boot/sweater combo.
(By the way, how awesome does my backyard look in these pictures? It is pretty unimpressive in real life, but it looks sexy in these! YUSSSSSS!)
Sweater, skirt, and boots: Forever 21
Shirt: Angry, Young, & Poor
How awesome are those boots!? I found them last summer at For Love and they were the last pair... I was SO scared they weren't my size but I looked at the bottom and BAM! IT WAS MEANT TO BE! I used to be too self conscious to wear them because they make my legs look short & choppy... but who gives a shit? They're awesome & I want to wear them!
Wish me luck on studying for the GRE!

Urban Outfitters wishlist!
I never really shop at UO because it is wayyyy too expensive for a broke little mama like me, but I will be getting my living expense money from my school any day now, so WISHLIST HERE I COME! Who says I should spend my living expense money on food and the like!? I do live IN clothes, so I say it is an awesome use of living expense money!
Also might get a tattoo... We'll see.
Urban Outfitters wants:
Cooperative T-Strap Wedge - $39.00 marked down from $48.00: ARE THESE NOT THE CUTEST SHOES YOU'VE EVER SEEN!? I imagine myself wearing these with a little black dress and a red cardigan. I pick a flower and skip through a field... Wait, no. I will just go to class in them, but I will look fucking adorable going to class! :)
BDG Feather Fedora - $28.00: If ANYYYYYYTHING is worth splurging on it's a hat! It goes on your head and surrounds your FACE. THE FACE IS OF TANTAMOUNT IMPORTANCE, PEOPLE! Anyway, this hat is fabulous and I absolutely NEED it in my life.
Pointelle Knee High Sock - $12.00: WHY OH WHY CAN'T I LOOK GOOD IN KNEE HIGHS!??!
Shockingly I did not find any actual apparel I liked! Good thing, because UO could send me to the poor house!

Introduction Post...
I am Amanda.
I like fashion, cats, math, Seinfeld, and my boyfriend.
I am 5'2. I weigh 183.8 pounds. I have lost 13.2 pounds...I want to lost 63.8 more.
This journal will chronicle my weight loss as well as my fashion throughout my weight loss journey.
I am wearing no makeup and it is so windy! I almost blew awayyyyy!
Lace dress: Forever 21
Coat: H&M
Shoes: Hot Topic
Purse: Angryyoungandpoor.com
Glasses: Burberry
Gojane.com is having a 25% off your entire order sale, along with a sale on boots, so I bought three new pairs of shoes!
I LOVEEEEE THE COLOR OF THESE! I have a coat with that caramel color in it, and I know combined with those boots I will look like a chic little lady! Yay!
I normally would be too self conscious to wear these because they cut off the leg in a weird spot and they don't have a heel. BUT! They are too cute and I am sick and tired of dressing to look skinny... I want to wear what I want, fat or not!
I HAVE BEEN WANTING THIS PAIR SINCE THE MOMENT I SAW THEM! They have them in a few other colors, including black. I normally would get black, but I think this color will look ADORABLE with black tights, don't you!? They will look killer with a black coat and leopard print gloves.
Anyway, this first post sucks, but I hope to continue blogging about my life & whatnot & I hope you will enjoy.
