So saith my darling husband when he saw me in my new party blouse. This is not, shall we say, my usual style of dress. And it's a size 16.

ETA: Now that I've seen it online it doesn't look as cool in the photo as it does in person. There's a line of sequins along the neck and the ribbon is shiny satin. Y'all probably wear girly stuff like this all the time, but it's sorta new for me.

Whoo hooo!!! <wolf whistle> - looking great, Alex!! Congrats!!!

Hey pretty lady..........you look right at home wearing that very pretty and very flattering shirt.

Hi Alex,

The shirt look great on you. Your face looks different too. Much thinner. And you look very happy too!!! Everybody needs the frilly stuff!

Babs in TX

Congrats and show yourself off. You coma a long way girl!

Thanks, everyone! Now I need to go find another party to go to.

Paula, my hair waffles between shoulder-length and a little shorter. In that photo it's longer than it's been since the post-band chop job. I want it to grow a little more and then I'll keep it at that length. Time to attend to the color, too. :rolleyes

Alex, you look absolutely beautiful!

Alex, were you running around singing, "if you think I'm sexy...." ? You look adorable, keep up the good work!

You look great and have done a wonderful job!

I love the blouse and you look awesome in it..

Alex, you look great!!! And your chin area looks good (I'm very concerned about mine and if it will look anything like yours one day). And the blouse is very elegant.

Alex,

You look absolutely stunning in your new blouse! That is a great color on you and you look so skinny!

Alex, were you running around singing, "if you think I'm sexy...."

AHHHAHAHAHHH!!!! LOL

I was trying to get my BF to sing (and act out) the "I'm too sexy for my shirt" song just the other day... lol

The words "Alex" and "sexy" sound very jarring to my ears when used in the same sentence. Really. Give me another three or four years getting used to being a size 16 and ask me again then.

Nope! not going to give you three or four years. You're Sexy now! Our brain is the most important sex organ, not the dangly bit, not the hidden bits! Give yourself the positive affermation "I am sexy!" and tell yourself this several times aday.

Don't wait, because you truely are a sexy mamma, and you deserve the best the Universe has to offer!

YEAH!!! What Crystal said!!

And besides, in 2-3 years you'll have long left the 16's, anyway...
