hello friends!

I'm writing to let you know about my SECOND experience with Rent the Runway!  As you may recall, I had two weddings this June that were a week a part from each other.  My first experience went well, this second experience was even better!  I rented this Kate Spade dress for around $55, it's called the Grape Soda Pop dress and it is a BEAUTIFUL color purple.  The back had a cut out with a bow but I forgot to take a pic...oh well.  Kate Spade runs big so I was able to wear a size TEN!!  It was form fitting on my waist and flowed out from my hips, it was just beautiful and perfect for my body.  I loved it so much I wish I could afford to buy it!  NO wear and tear this time on this dress!  Yippee!

Dress porn below:

Me and the hubby, I totally made him wear a purple shirt and tie to match me haha.  He's so cute.

Me straight on, holding a bunch of crap.  I had a big clutch bag and my camera bag haha.

I can't even believe I fit into and looked good in this dress (yes I'm tooting my own horn).  It's just absolutely amazing to me and every day I live with this sleeve I just can't believe I'm this size.  I'm not perfect, but I'm happy.

I did have a little too much fun this weekend at the wedding and going out to eat etc etc.  The carb monster came out to play a bit but I'm getting myself back on track this week.  Stuff happens.

However, I am now 8 1/2 months post op and officially down 77lbs!!! I am in the 150's (haven't seen that number EVER) and 7lbs from my first initial goal!!

I think I will be changing my goal to 135 after I hit my first goal but it'll be nice to see my ticker change enlightened  I LOVE MY SLEEVE!

I knooowww the cut out and the bow at the back are so cute.  I haven't uploaded all my pics yet, these were just from my phone.  Maybe there's one hiding somewhere...lol
