So.....

I went dress shopping yesterday for my planned elopement next Sunday. What was pleasantly surprising is I was able to buy a dress in a normal clothing section!!! I was teetering between a size 22-24 only 3 months ago (honestly, it probably was a 24 because I was unbuttoning the 22's just to feel semi comfortable). Yesterday I bought my first size 16 since I probably was 16 lol. It felt good, I felt good and I finally didn't feel like crying my eyes out when leaving a dressing room. Aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnddddd.....I'm 5 lbs away from "one"derland. It's only going to get better from here!!!!

 

Thought I'd post a pic of the cute dress I found for a great bargain as well!

So exciting on many fronts!! First Congratulations on getting married...

Second - You look beautiful, love the dress and love the smile.

Isn't shopping in the 'normal' section, such a great victory? Expands your world. Can be a little overwhelming at first, where do I shop? I have found Marshalls to be a gold mine, and if you have a Ross check that out as well. even though I am not rapidly changing sizes anymore... when I went into my summer clothes realized almost nothing fit. Having to start a wardrobe from scratch means better get a good bargain...

Thank you! I have been struggling with the clothes thing lately. I want to buy some new stuff because everything is too big but at the same time I don't want to spend money on stuff that I probably will be getting rid of in a few months time. I will try Ross and Marshalls and see what I can find. I still have the mentality of being 40 lbs heavier and want all my shirts to be swimming on me so you can't see my rolls lol.

Ross has the best jewelry counter.  Beautiful Silver from Israel is the best deal.
