So excited for her, since she hates clothes shopping and was dreading the whole process. We were at Kohl’s, not looking for dresses at all, and she stumbled upon it and I had to twist her arm to get her to try it out. It’s a black lacy Jennifer Lopez dress that falls just below her knees and it looks absolutely stunning. So jealous, but happy for her. Now I’m the only one left in the house that doesn’t have one!

That gives me anywhere between 43 and 47 weeks to get as close to my goal weight as possible. At two pounds a week, that’s anywhere from 86 to 94 pounds. Even at one pound a week it would add up to almost 50 pounds. If I could be under 200 by the time the wedding comes around, I would be ecstatic. I know I have it in me. I just need to get myself back on track, stay there, and remember my goals. I’ve got this.

I decided I would try on my eighth grade dance dress from this post just to see if there was a chance of it fitting and….

We have success! :D I seriously cannot believe it fits. It’s crazy. The top is a bit more snug now since things have grown in the last seven or so years… But overall I’m so pleased with the fit and it works really well with that black sweater that I love so much :)

Ah, I’m so happy right now! I can return all the dresses/shrugs I bought and save myself at least $100. Plus now I don’t have to stress in the morning about finding something to wear! Only about getting a gift and doing my hair and makeup and finding the boy a different dress shirt :P

I just tried everything on, and I’m afraid the first dress I chose might be too short. And while I love the second one I found, the white sweater I bought to go over the top looks horrible with it. So now I’m stuck since the only other shrugs I have are black and it’s a darker blue dress…

I have to be to work in an hour and I don’t think I’ll have enough time to find anything. Plus it’s such a hard dress to pair anything with. But I hate my arms and I refuse to wear it without something over the top.

Eeeeeek :(

*gulps*

I’m nervous, but excited. I haven’t worn a formal dress in quite a few years, and I have no idea what size I am anymore. So here’s to hoping everything goes well.

Eeeep, I need to start looking in stores instead of just falling in love with overpriced pin-up dresses online. And I should probably get my hair cut before then as well..
