Wanted to share - milestones

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to share this with you gals/guys.  I have a history of pretty

major panic attacks when it comes to shopping.  Most of my clothes come from

Target or mail order.  My wardrobe is getting a little more diverse but really

it's jeans, nice tshirts & a few girly tops thrown in.  I have a black skirt fom

Coldwater Creek that I wear when I have to and a lot of stuff in my closet that

doesn't fit. 

B & I are going on our honeymoon in 3 weeks (aaack!!!).  Well, I went to Dress

Barn on a fluke last night and I bought two dresses!  I am extremely proud of

myself that I didn't just give up & walk out like I normally do.  I made myself

try on the proper size and made myself *really* look at me in the dresses to see

that " hey, I look good!  these are cute & I shouldn't be afraid of a ribbon

around the waist. "

So I got two dresses, one can be dressy casual for the cruise (which I wore to

a baptism today) and the other is an honest to GOD cocktail dress for one of the

formal nights.  WOW! I'm gonna buy pumps to go with it! 

I've written about my makeup issues before I think... now I'm using blush &

omg... lipstick (!!) on a semi-regular basis and last night I did my own toes!! 

I do believe the world is coming to an end.  No really, I think I'm starting to

enjoy the process of being girly.  Sometimes I feel like I'm 13 trying on my

mother's makeup & clothes, but that's ok.  I'm starting to love me for me.  I

didn't even care about the sizes on the dresses last night.  I just picked the

ones that fit & made me look cute because damnit, I'm HOT.  ;-)
