My dream dress...

OK - I know I am a dork, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this dress.... LOVE IT! I am a preppy girl at heart and have always wanted one like it but they never made them for big girls... Today, I got this random catalog in the mail (NorthStyle.com), and flipped it open... lo and behold... Angels started singing, and I ordered it! I'm a little nervous - I ordered an 18, even though most things I'm wearing in a smaller size... but it is a straight cut, and according to their measurement chart, the 18 might not even fit my hips (gulp)... We'll see!!!
Oh - and I ordered this purse too.... LOVE IT TOO! I haven't bought much of anything full price in years... (in fact, I did another Goodwill run yesterday and got a beautiful dress for $8.99) But I thought that for getting under 200 pounds, it was an okay thing to treat myself to a few new beautiful "accessories" to show off!

That's fantastic!! Isn't it a fantastic feeling to buy things because you love them - not just because you can fit into them!!!

Love the purse too :-)

The handbag is AWESOME! The dress will be very cute and springy, and lastly, you look amazing in your new 199 photo!

You could get a zillion cute shoes to go with that and a zillion cardigans to go over it too!

I love the dress - and I can so see you wearing it. It would suit you to a tee. What kind of shoes would you wear with it? Flirty sandals or something with a heel? Thinking out loud lol.
Love the bag too! It's gorgeous. Great colour that will go with everything too. Happy shopping, Sarah.

I love the dress & bag Sarah. I was looking at your "heaviest" pic and your face today is sooo different! You truly look like a defferent person! Love the new pic by the way.

PS...I worked very closely with Tiffani!

I love the dress. The cut is adorable (I have never been able to wear stuff like that either!) and the pattern is cute (kinda reminds me of a patchwork quilt)....make sure you post photos!

Sometimes you gotta just splurge when we hit a mini goal....
