I wore a dress today!
18 Jul 2013, 14:58
I've been on a course today and had planned to go in my usual 'garb' of comfy trousers and T shirt.

But no! I wore a dress! I've haven't worn a dress or skirt in many years, but I've had a particularly nice fitted knee length dress, which has never been worn (I know, cos I cut the price out of it this morning!) and which has nearly gone to charity about 3 times.

I put it on this morning and it fitted! Astonishing! My 2.5 stones (34lbs) must have gone somewhere!

I felt very smart; in fact, quite like the business woman I am!

And the compliments rolled in! I couldn't believe it! People who hadn't seen me for a few months all wanted to know how I'd achieved it. Mrs Trim, some young lady called me!

It's a good job I don't follow fashion, because I would have sent it off to charity many moons ago.

Here's to my new trim 'look' and more dresses!

That's lovely to read, I wore a skirt to work last week and people were astonished, I'm always head to toe in black, I told them that finally I put it on and didn't feel like attaching a 'wide load' sign to my bottom! Losing weight is beginning to give me freedom, so I totally understand! Happy shopping! :0)

Oh, PennyForthem, what a lovely thing to happen! You have done so well with this WOE and you deserve to have that kind of reponse!

Mariposa, you've done brilliantly too and deserve the reaction you got! What a great post from both of you!

Onwards and downwards!

How wonderful for you PennyForthem and you Mariposa. You both have done so well. Isn't it nice to get out of the same old clothes and wear something different, especially when you get so many compliments.

A wonderful post PennyForthem - maybe it's the recent French influence :lol: and it's great that other people noticed too, must have made you feel even more fantastic.
Mariposa - must be wonderful to feel that new confidence, you must have felt great too
Well done both (and it's just given me the idea for another new thread :cool: :lol: :wink: )
