Still Dropping Some Weight (Why to trust your clothes versus your scale)

So for the past three months I've been trying to loose weight, as of 3 weeks ago I've gone down about 15 pounds, I haven't weighed in since then but I think I'm down another 5-7 pounds as of right now. It's great to see the change in the scale but personally I never go by that. My doctor has stated to me that I should've dropped more weight based on the diet he has me on but I feel the scale is deceiving at times so I always go by my clothes.

Pants that used to fit me tight; as in leave a mark on my waist from how tight they were, are now about an inch too big in the waist. I've gone from a 38 to a 36 and now the 36 now fit loosely as well. My chambray shirt which I don't have a picture of, went from fitting me okay, to fitting me so tight it was pulling (which is when I knew I needed to shed some weight). Now it fits me loose. Below are a couple of pictures of me trying on my linen blazer and my jacket from MAB suit. For prior reference to how they fit before refer to thestyleblogger.com post.

Sorry for not a proper fit post, felt like complete crap today and didn't leave the house. I wanted to see if I had gone up or down with my weight turns out it's down. First picture is how it fits without me adjusting it, second of me adjusting it with my hands.

Linen Blazer by Tasso Elba, Size XL, $100 at Macy's 

Notice it's a bit loose. 

Not a great example but ideally I need it brought in about an 1-1.5 inches.

Actually debating if this one needs to be tweaked, my sides got smaller!

If I do tweak it it's just a bit

Opinions???

Look #1 from TSB post...simple, classy, clean and cheap!

So the look below is from the first look on TSB.com. The look although looks like it was expensive to put together was actually relatively cheap.

Let's start with the most expensive item and work our way from there; in this case the blazer.
Linen Blazer by Taso Elba-$108 with tax at Macy's
Pocket Square-$2 for a pack of 5 by Pierre Cardin at Marshall's
Short Sleeve Cotton Shirt-$9.50 Old Navy Clearance Section
Chinos-$7.50 at H&M Clearance; same pants from this post.
Loafers-$30 via eBay
Lapel Acc.-$1 Cufflink via eBay

Total:$156
*I didn't add the watch since I wear it every day but it ran me $40 for Kenneth Cole at Nordstrom Rack.

As you can see a great look put together on a budget. Take the shoes out of the equation as they can be worn multiple times a week, we're talking no more than $125 and $100 of that was for the blazer.

Linen, Linen, Linen!

As my previous post stated, make linen your best friend with this upcoming summer. Invest in a linen jacket. I would state suit but frankly when I tried on the pants that were sold as separates with this jacket, the pants were HUGE...and they were a slim cut. The length was bad but something that would have been easily hemmed but the legs were no where near slim, they were ridiculously baggy. Naturally I just stuck with the blazer.

What sold me on the blazer was how it looked when I tried it on with what I was already wearing (posted below). The picture is from it being tried on in-store, it needs to be shortened as do the sleeves. I had to cut open the lapel hole, didn't like the stitching so hand-sewed it myself after as well. The jacket itself was a great price at $99.99.

Yes this is me...I'm not a small guy but notice that a well fitting jacket does wonders.
