I wore this dress a few days ago for the very last time. I took it to a swap. It currently hangs in someone else's closet and I am thrilled she like it and it fit her so well. For me letting it go was a sign of defeat. Defeat, that I never lost enough weight to wear it comfortably.
Worn, from left to right: once in 2009 and twice 2010 .
Also from left to right, worn in 2013 then in 2014.
Are there any pieces in your closet that you've felt defeated or demoralised by lately?
Just based on the photos I think this looks like it fit you brilliantly. And while it might not feel great to have set a goal for yourself and then fall a bit short of it, you look wonderful and it's only ever your internal goal and not a think the outside world would perceive in the same way and hold you to.

Oh, honey, it never looked bad on you. I do know what it's like to have a piece just not work, or highlight part of you that you feel is less than perfect. Please don't beat yourself up over this - it's just a dress, and you are you, beautiful Lorena.
ReplyDeleteI rarely say what I think about an outfit unless I really love it or hate it. I find that reading others' comments helps me put aside my (often) emotional reaction to how I feel about how I look. It really helps.
We only see everything good in your outfits, hon. *hug* I know you're going through some rough stuff.
