So, I was browsing for something else - like not even in the clothing department and decided to take a gander at dresses. I haven't bought a single new item of anything in about a year. A year ago at this time I weighed between 165-168 and I looked fantastic.
Now? Eh... I'm at 186 and I feel I'm bigger, though, in the last couple days I'm beginning to see/feel the slimmer me (must mean a whoosh is coming up) and I'm more toned than last year.
Anyway. They had this Betsy Johnson dress. I have no idea why I decided to try it. Maybe because it looked a bit artsy and different. Anyway, it looked great! And it looked slimming. WHAT??? horizontal stripes on my boobs waist and hips made me look slimmer? Well, it did - and more curvy! it's a "date night" kind of dress, of which I have none. Now to find a time to wear it!
Oh, I got it at Marshalls for way less than shown here. It's knit and has ruching and an underdress (which smooths me out a bit I think). I actually felt kind of hot in it (and not perspiring hot!).
So glad to be feeling slimmer again. I have a ways to go, but I'm back on track and heading in the right direction at least! yay to winter and the winter blahs being gone!
This link even shows the dress in action! And yes, it's clingy, but not in a bad way!

Who knew horizontal stripes could look slimming?
I love them
