Little black dress

[JackieOMonroe 123]

I have this killer LBD. I've had it for a while, but I've only worn it out once. It's made of a thick stretchy fabric, and I love the way it hugs my hips and bottom and comes in at the waist. It's the ultimate hourglass shape. The only thing I don't like is the way it clings to my stomach. When I wore it out before, I put something on over the dress to cover my tummy, but that pretty much defeated the purpose of the dress. I decided that I would wear the dress again only after I'd lost a little weight and my stomach wasn't trying so hard to be the star of the show.

Fast forward to just a few minutes ago. I went to my closet to try the dress on. I keep it on the hanger nearest the closet door, and when I walk in it's the first article of clothing that I see. It taunts me hanging there all smug, waiting for the body I wish I had. I took it off the hanger, stepped into the dress, tugged up the zipper, and looked at myself in the mirror. It still doesn't fit! All of this work and the stupid dress doesn't fit.

It's too big. How's that for an NSV? My little black dress doesn't seem so little anymore!

Yup and the next time you try it on, you'll have missed the size and it's going to be too big! That has happened with me sooooo often! ugh

I found a shirt that I fell in love with at the store and it was too big...they did not have a medium! Yes a medium! So I called around and I am driving to the store that is an hour away just for that shirt! lol

I love it!!!!! I know you will find another little black dress that will be even more figure forming and sexy. It's a shame though you only wore that dress once, but I'm sure it feels oh so good that it's too big after it was being so smug on the hanger LOL. I can't wait to have that happen to me. Congrats!!

You start with your LBD picture first.

Hanging the goal clothes where you can see them is encouraging!
