...and I'm feeling good...........
Oct 17, 2010
It was a good weekend. My office mate got married on Saturday and it was a fancy evening wedding at a fancy venue. I stressed for weeks over what I would wear. It had been a few years since I had even put on a dress or a skirt. I didn't even wear a dress for my own wedding! So, I had this long dress skirt in my closet that fit again, but all the tops I could wear with it were just to large. It was the morning of the wedding and I had my in-laws visiting. My husband suggested that I just go buy something to go with it as I had lost almost 75 lbs. and had't bought one new thing. So, my MIL and I headed off to Fashion Bug who was having a great sale and I knew I'd be able to find something there. There were all kinds of things that would work. I tried on all kinds of combinations and still felt like I looked old for my age. There was a younger gal there, though, trying on cocktail dresses for a Vegas style birthday party at a local casino and she had told my MIL that she was stepping out of her comfort zone with what she was trying on. But, with the help of several women trying on clothes she purchased one of the dresses. That got me to thinking that maybe I should step out of my comfort zone too. I started grabbing cocktail dresses from the racks and tried on several that looked really good on. They just made me feel good and with the help of MIL, the other gal and several other women, I too walked out with a great dress and shrug jacket (had to cover the batwings! LOL) to go with and a wrap. It just all felt so good on. It's amazing how good you can feel when you get all dressed up.MIL decided it would be a good idea not to show the outfit to the hubby until I was dressed and ready to go so I didn't. He had only ever seen me in a skirt once before. I wish I could discribe the look on his face when he saw me all dressed up! He said I was "sexy and we should skip the wedding and get a hotel room"! I loved that! He looked hot himself and we went off to the wedding and had a fantastic evening....
