Dresses

I have recently discovered that I absolutely love to try on dresses; every type of dress imaginable. I love little black dresses and dresses that hug my curves, sweater dresses, sundresses, long/short dresses, strapless dresses, off the shoulder dresses, dresses with crazy patterns, et cetera. I love dresses. I love dresses that normally you would never ever pull off the rack and you find that they make your hips look fantastic. But more than looking good is feeling good. I put on a clingy red dress at T.J. Maxx this morning and knew that it didn't look good on me because I didn't feel good in the dress. Later, at Kohls, I put on this black and pinkish-red silk strapless dress and knew that I looked really good. The dress fit me almost like a second skin and it accentuated all the good things. More importantly, I NOTICED the good things. (And the fact that I have extremely pasty white legs.) I noticed how tiny my waist is and my strong shoulders and toned legs. I noticed that I genuinely smiled at myself in the mirror, all the while thinking 'Hey good lookin!' I was happy to look at my reflection today which is something I cannot ever remember doing. Crazy how a dress can change your day.
