It’s all about the dress… right?
The dress didn’t fit me so I put it on my mannequin…
Nothing says NEW YEARS than a sparkly head to mid thigh shiny, shimmery, glowy number! It may sound so cliché but for a very long time I’ve wanted to do what most New Years goers do… wear an all sequin dress! I know, not very original, not different and so typical but I’ve never allowed my entire body to be one disco ball. This year, however, I’m game! Two weeks ago I started my search for the perfect flashy, shimmery dress… I found it! Simple + easy! Typically I layer everything I wear, I have this saying… if I don’t have 3 clothing garments on my upper half then I’m not fully dressed {3 being the minimum}. This year, I wanted one item… Going for the “less is more” motto {except when you do all sequin, less is never more}. So I ordered this perfect dress that I so brilliantly found. Done. Search over! It arrived at my doorstep before we ventured home from our Christmas vacation. I tried it on. Tight, little, can’t fit one cheek in the dress and when I did the sequin stretched so much that the gaps between sequences became not so head to toe completely dazzled in sparkle. The husband laughed – and proceeded to question if I was “really” going to wear that… which, I then proceeded to curse him and our night tragically ended in a fight and gorging myself with cookies + ice-cream. Face it LRT, your no longer a size small, you’re going through your 20 something adolescent stage which is prepping you to be a future mommy. Your expanding in all the right areas. Medium it is! I reordered and overnighted the dress in a size “M”… it’s on tract to arrive today. Fingers crossed that it looks as smashing on as it did on my mannequin.
You see… even when I was getting ready to wed, a month prior to my wedding day I was having issues with fitting into dresses {see pic below}! It’s not just me it’s the dresses… I swear! The cookies, pies, bacon have not gotten the best of me… the dresses we’re all made completely wrong and not true to size. It’s not me… right? LOL, who am I kidding! Get your size right or accept it tight… that’s my new motto!
For giggles… I’ve held on tight to these photo’s that the oh so kindly Southern Belle snapped of me during my first dress fitting prolly 14 months ago. {thanks Mel for getting my good side}!
New Years is right around the corner! I cannot WAIT! I’m doing makeup + hair at the Ritz on Friday for a lovely bride. Later in the afternoon my girlfriends and I are having our makeup + hair done… I cannot WAIT to be in front of the brush for once! Any excuse to get my makeup + hair done I go for it! That evening Tiffany with Weddings and the City is hosting a private New Years Eve bash at Crave. I’m allowing myself to drink an extreme amount of bubbly, laugh, scream and have a ball with my hubby + besties.
What your New Years plans? Oh, and more importantly what is everyone wearing?
