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].)
Skirts and dresses are the BEST. Especially if you’re pear-shaped/have a little extra in the thigh, comparatively speaking. And I’m speaking about myself, of course.
You ROCK these, babe.

I love them!! Esp the first, with the tights and boots! I am so envious of your bravery! I am not that type either but really think that is a HOT look, and you are rockin it!

I’m generally not a huge dress fan either…but sometimes you find just the right one and well you know it’s like magic.
Love the 2nd one especially!
You look fab. I especially love the dress/necklace combo in the second picture.

Firstly and most importantly there’s not a single thing wrong with your legs. Secondly, you look great in dresses! I like the second one best.
You look great (sour puss face included)! Where did you get the first dress? I love turtle necks and really like that one!!

@abunslife I got the first dress at a little boutique called Francesca on clearance for $28…I don’t think it’s a name brand.
You look AMAZING. Seriously.

Love them! I am now on a mission to find something like that first dress. And boots. Cute boots have been on my list for years.

The boots are hot.
I hate dresses. Hose and tights are a creation of the devil to distract women from God’s messages while in church. Or something like that.

Mad Woman´s lastest post..Weekly Word Challenge
I rarely wear pants. Seriously. I live in Minneapolis, but wearing pants is so restrictive. On really cold days, I’ll wear tights and leg warmers with my dresses because pants are so yucky!! Long-sleeve dresses are hard to find, so when I find them, I scoop them right up!! Very cute!!

You look great! Why the avoidance? Dresses are awesome; especially wrap dresses, which flatter practically any figure. They are adjustable (for monthly weight fluctuations) and can draw the attention away from the thighs and middle and to the girls – ha! And for those who hate hose or tights … try thigh highs. Oh yah … that will get your partner’s attention.
my problem is not the owning of dresses — it’s the NOT owning of a proper pair of boots. sigh.
Your dresses look great! wahoo!

I used to avoid dresses, and then I realized they are the most versatile things I own. Dress ‘em up or down with belts, necklaces, shoes, you name it. You’ll love ‘em.

In fact they also became a part of my new years resolution.
