I am not the dress wearing type. Ever since I sprouted hips and the accompanying saddlebags superglued to my legs, I just never thought I had the body for a dress.
Then I saw OHmommy in a dress, she who LOVES to dress up and has great fashion sense. I was inspired by her gospel to get thy own self to the mall and shop. Amen! Praise OHmommy!
And to thy mall I went. And shopped. And bought not one, but two dresses! Alleluia!
(Secretly I hoped that my legs would suddenly transform into OHmommy’s nice looking legs in my dresses inspired by her, but alas, my legs are the same knobby kneed legs as before.)
I think I still look good enough to take out in public, despite the sourpuss face in the second picture. Maybe I could wear these to a cocktail party, or possibly even on a much needed date with my husband.
(Tate did mention something about leaving just the boots on [redacted].)
hot-sie tot-sie! just picked up myself a black little number for Blissdom!

I love that first dress
And OHMommy totally made me lust for an awesome dress as well. I’m not much of a dress person either…goes back to when I was teaching and had to sit on the ground or in those tiny chairs all the time.
P.S. You do have a sour puss face in that second photo
You look great.. no need for that!

You’re hott, that’s that.
Skirts and heels are the BEST. They gave you instant confidence (most of the time). Then again, not that I would know anymore. I haven’t worn those in months. Oh, I suck.

Dresses are actually the best way to deal with the figure issues you are discussing. So flattering!
Cute! I need a good shopping trip.

I adore dresses but loathe my legs. So how do I get to wear dresses without going full Amish with the ankle length? And I can’t wear high boots to make up the difference because they never zip up my calf.
Hm? Hm?
I want to be cute, too!
You look great! But now you have freaking me the frack out because I never thought about what I am going to wear to the cocktail parties…eek!

1. You don’t give yourself enough “pretty” red.
2. Tate is right about “just the boots”.
Point is, hips and a little “body” on a woman IS attractive. As evidenced by your pics.

Awesome. I can’t remember the last time I had a dress on, but I love both of those.
OMG! I love love love that first dress and I want me one! LOL. May I ask where you purchased such a beautiful thing? BTW..I think you are totally rocking both dresses, with or without boots!
Rachel´s lastest post..Oh yeah baby…We are ready!
I really need to wear more dresses!
My girls even tell me so… though they certainly didn’t like me in my latest skirt. Hello? I can’t help it if my belly hangs out. Sorry! The skirt is NOT ugly, and no, I won’t change. You’re 5 years old – what do you know anyway?
At 35, I know that your dress choices are awesome!
