I was doing some shopping (my fave hobby these days!) at Marshalls this past weekend, and struck up a conversation with a nice chatty woman at the racks. She was looking at a dress and she turned and handed it to me and said she thought it would be nice for me. I protested that because I'm so tall (5'11"), it would be too short. She told me that I shouldn't worry because I have "such a cute figure" and now is the time I can get away with it "while I'm young." As I'm not actually that young (37) and have NEVER had a "cute figure" in my life, she totally made my week!  :-) And I did buy the dress - size Medium down from a 2x or more! Now I just need a day warm enough to wear it, because it is pretty darn short, but it actually looks good so I'm going to rock it anyway! Love my sleeve!!!

How nice of her!  Enjoy wearing that dress and reliving the compliment every time you have it on.

Thanks!  I  definitely will. Now if only spring would well and truly hit the northeast I could wear it. Soon, I hope!
