The clown in the closet revisited...

Wednesday, February 29, 2012

So last night I found the missing dress and tried the dress on. I was surprised that it wasn't a nightmare. The lining is a little fitted but didn't pucker. The dress is a-line and looked a little short (losing more weight will make the dress look longer). I could wear it comfortably enough now but I think it will take being a half size smaller to look better.

It is a relief to get it over with! It is not as bad as i thought it would be. So right now in my old wardrobe I am at the high end of a size 12. Some tops are medium and some are large. I have put my 2x's in the charity bag.

It feels nice to not be fearful of my closet and rid it of negative clowns!

    it was supposed to be worn on my bday earlier this month. But I didn't want to be let down and not be able to wear it so I ignored it. Then when I went to check I didn't see it. I had to hunt through the closet! I thought I'd wait a month to try it on...but with i tin my hands I felt brave to try. The dress represents a time when I was happy with how I looked the last time I wore it- I felt young, fun, sexy and strong. It has been too long since I have felt any of those things. I have been a sea of ill fitting clothing and black tops from just wanting to blend in the crowd for a long time, this dress makes me feel pretty.

I am getting rid of anything that is too big. I never, ever want to see those things again!

Good luck with your thoughts on tops. :)

    Your comment about the length of your dress is how I feel about some of my pants. I know when I am slimmer my pants hang longer.

Great job on getting into smaller tops. I am still wearing my xls but at least now they are loose whereas before they were snug. I am not ready to stop wearing them just yet. I just had a thought that maybe if I get rid of all my loose tops I would have to lose weight to make my other tops more comfortable. I will have to think about that!

Is this a dress for a certain occassion?
