Which Dress????

I'm going to throw out a resounding NO on the black......it is not flattering at all!  Far to frumpy!  The brown is very stylish but way to long to wear with high boots.  If you could alter it to a minimum 2 inches above the knee and take off some of the flair in the skirt it would be perfect.....and throw some black opaque tights on or some fun tights with a design on them that would look great!....I'd also throw in a pretty flowing scarf around the neck or a thick black belt!  I'm a bit of a fashionista ........I'd love to be a personal shopper!..........LOL

Heather - when I come to visit you can take me shopping and dress me!  I need someone to push me out of my comfort zone!

Heck ya!  After you get your new boobies though......I LOVE to shop and I'm not afraid to tell people if something doesn't look attractive!  You may want to save up though.......I shop the clearance racks too but unless your an XS the choices aren't real great!  And I think if you find something you look FANTASTIC in it's worth spending the $$$.  If you don't look FANTASTIC don't buy it!  We don't have to "settle" for "looks fine" anymore......we will not accept anything less than "HOLY S*** I LOOK HOT!

Thanks Heather.  You can come and be my personal shopper!!

I would have to put hose or tights on if I hemmed it 2 inches because the tops of my legs look pretty bad. 

I feel like I've been stuck in a rut for years and suddenly waking up and clueless on how to dress except jeans and shirts.  I see all these cute clothes and think I would look ridiculous in them.  Guess I need some head work too!!

Thanks Toni,
I sure wish I could get to NYC and let you girls dress me!!!
Linda

I'd love too.....LOL
It's hard to let go of the idea of hiding your body from the world.  We all were good at that.  That's why we get the comments like you're not big enough for that or WOW I didn't realize you were THAT big......

Someone said you should get the size 6 and I agree.  It takes time to get comfortable with your clothes being form fitting or clingy in places they were always loose.  Ask yourself this when trying clothes on......does the piece fit you well in your arms, shoulders, & your chest?  If so and the tummy or legs are the big problem invest in a GOOD bra, bodyshaper, & nylons/tights.......and ALWAYS shop with them on!  You will be surprised at what you buy.  Lastly......find the 2 youngest, prettiest, most stylish sales associates and ask them what they think.....tell them you recently lost over 100 lbs and tell them now that you can wear whatever you want you only want to buy something if you look as hot as you possibly can!.......THEY WILL HELP YOU!  At first I never bought an outfit without the opinion of 3 sales associates.....Now I'm comfortable with my choices....if I'm unsure I ask......and usually find out I'm right........LOL

I am with you, Linda. I'm not one to "show off" the change. But, that being said, you look adorable in both. I think the brown dress looks a little more modern and fun though.
