I felt like a teenage girl in the dressing room when deciding to get this dress; trying to take photos of the dress to send to my friend, Noelle, to get her thoughts. I wasn't sure if the dress was too loud. I have never bought anything like this. I am usually pretty simple. Most people think artists are crazy in all aspects of life, but for me, even though I love fashion, my style is pretty blah. I think mainly it's due to being overweight and the desire to try and find cute clothes diminishes with every added pound.
Noelle approved of the dress, so I bought it with a gift card that I have been holding onto since Christmas! The dress had partial sleeves, but I opted for a light weight jacket to cover my arms as they still look like overstuffed sausage rolls. Now there's a visual for you. :)
I must say I felt pretty sexy in the dress, even if it was just for an Athletic banquet, it still made me feel beautiful.
My weight loss total 25.6 pounds now. I keep chugging along--inching closer to being under 200 lbs. I will seriously do a happy dance once that happens. Maybe a video is in order to express my ecstatic array of emotions that will be consuming me!
