i just found this out yesterday afternoon. I was hoping to not have to attend any till i lost all my weight lol. I enjoy going but it's the shopping for a dress, previously i hated shopping. I would like something that is comfortable, yet stylish, and doesn't make me look like the broad side of a barn. I always end up settling for something i don't like because it's all i can find. Well not this year ladies lol. I plan on finding something super cute and shows off some of my body. hubby thinks i should wear purple- ok hope i don't look like a grape when he's in his dress blues (i was thinking hot pink or leopard lol) :biggrin:. I know black is slimming but i've worn so much black that i'm trying to stay away from that color. And to top it all off is it's nov 6!!! less then a month away...i've already hit ross, goodwill, 1/2 of 1/2 off name brand clothing and a consigment store. i will go ck out the other goodwill and salvation army store later today. sometime will go to the mall. i'm really trying to go with a good outlook but it's hard to get yourself in that frame of mine when you keep thinking of the past experiences. wish me luck that i find something lol. :thumbup:

Best of luck. I'm thankful that the Seabee Ball isn't until March. I really want to be down 100 pounds before then.

Have fun :biggrin: However I was thinking a grape is cute and small .... just be thankful you won't look like an eggplant :-| Hope you post some pic of the wonderful event. I miss those. My husband was 1st Cav. and they were always fun.

i do have those about 45mins from me. so i will prob do and check them out. the only thing they have in this town is strapless, spaghetti strap short teeny booper dresses. my pj's cover more then they do lol. i was looking and thinking to myself seriously!!! i don't think so at all!!!

I just posted a picture of my engagement party last week and I was wearing a beautiful black and silver dress from Dress Barn Women. They aren't too pricey and they have a huge selection. Though they tend to stick to a darker color palette, they have really flattering clothes for all occasions.

Best to you and have fun!!

Thanks,
