On one of my trips to the Rak right before I decided to blog, I found this beautiful, feminine, long lace dress that was just .... stunning. I tried it on and well.... if you every saw the movie Steele Magnolias, I will quote a line that explains how I saw myself....
".....looks like 2 pigs fighting underneath a blanket!"
If you haven't seen the movie.... imagine what that might look like! I decided to purchase the $300 Adrianna Papell dress (which I bought for $59.99) as I want to be able to wear the dress without any spanks, girdles or other accessories to pull me in, I want to wear it "au-natural!" Of course with the regular underwear (bra/panties) but... just that. At this point, I can wear the dress as is, but it doesn't lie as smooth as I would like. It hugs all the curves, which I like, but shows all the "ripple" effects as well. If this is a new concept - check out the photos of me in my workout clothes and you will understand what I am referring to. Sports bra and shorts - full disclosure! (Thanks Lou).
My daughter had asked where I would where the dress once I fit into it and while I had hoped to have a Valentine and to wear it to a special Valentine something.... In lieu of not having that, I told her I would wear it everywhere - shopping, when I did the laundry... lol. Seriously - I am sure I will have many opportunities to wear it. I have a wedding in mind in November of this year for Anthony Sanchez and Steven Simm. By that time.... I am sure I will need to get it taken in!
Wish me luck and I can't wait to wear it for a beautiful wedding in November. And if any of my readers wants to be my valentine next weekend....let me know. :)
