size, dress and shoes
Well, I bought a dress on Friday for my first military ball NOT in a uniform.
This should be interesting :) I did not know my size and felt very unsure of myself while doing this shopping.
*Sigh* I lost so much weight and now hate trying on clothes, but don't want to be any bigger ... strange! I like being around 120 pounds, I don't feel tired nor do I feel manly like I did when I was still in the military (at least not too often).
Anyway after several false starts my spouse and 2 young children went with me and not only did we find my size, but I found a lovely "grown up" dress.
I also found it on sale, which was good because I would not pay full price for it at all :) It was a Calvin Klein formal (my first any kind of name brand off-the-rack) in Gun-metal gray sized 4 with small fishtail bottom. It makes me feel very nice, and it is not like anything I have ever worn to a big event.
Now I face the next big issue ... shoes :) Can't match the gray, and black seems so wrong somehow ... oh well, I wear it Thursday and will let you know how my trip into frivolity went ... it feels nice to relax now & again :)
