Whew! My Oscar gear came and it fits....
 

Basically I decided to just be comfortable this year....yes I am eating the yummy stuff before the show, no I am not wearing anything tight that I have to sit up straight in for 4 hours!

I bought the post-holiday sale at Bloomie's.....pretty simple but going with a silk wrap shirt and long satin skirt. As long as they don't kick me out I'll consider this successful. And all the stuff is size 14 and delightfully big!! So I must be doing something right....as 16's were tight on me pre-holidays.

PS: If you want to stock up on any winter or holiday stuff, they have some really good markdowns right now!

You're going to the Oscars? Awesome! That is a pretty top; I bet you will look great!

Congratulations on finding something beautiful and comfortable to wear! I hope you have an awesome time! :D
