This is the dress I'd like to purchase for Easter
but stubbornly, I will not
It's the strangest thing-I L.O.V.E. dresses! I enjoy looking through rack upon rack, even trying them on and conjuring up places/events to wear them to. I reeeeally love them from the 50's, 60's & 80's at the local vintage store. I bought this lovlieness almost a year ago and have yet to wear it:
It's nice and light and 80's-ish. When I bought it, I envisioned a thick, funky patent leather belt w/ matching red flats. Maybe a unique headband, some chunky bracelets, and simple black bow earrings (yes..I do get detailed up in my head...it never materializes, sadly). And yet, it hangs in the back of my closet along with my"skinny clothes".
What a depressing existence. I outta find a fashionable gal and gift it to her.....
So what's my malfunction? I severely hate the way my legs look in dresses. I dunno what it is but I am beyond self-conscious. It's more along the lines of obsessed. Pathetic, I know. It infuriates my husband. Heck, it infuriates me!! In my mind, I don't have legs..I have tree stumps. Even with leggings or nylons.
It's safe to say...I have issues.
I'm guessing you look awesome in dresses! I love dresses too, but I actually feel the same way about my legs. Weird. I've decided that when I am done breastfeeding I am going to start wearing dresses again. It's kinda hard to nurse a baby while wearing a dress... I think it's great that you have all the details up in your head. I SUCK at accessorizing. I never know what kind of shoes to wear with my outfits, I don't like wearing belts, I never know what jewelry (if any) to wear, so I end up in my jeans and tshirts. At least it's comfy :P
