I was a bit sad I couldn't realize my fantasy with the red dress, I put so much time and effort into finding it. Still, it looked terrible on me. Try as I might, I couldn't muster up enough denial to make myself wear it. The other two dresses were better, and I felt like I looked reasonably good in them. No, I'm not sharing pictures of myself. I didn't look THAT good.
I wore jewelry, a bit of eye make up, lipstick, new pointy shoes, and even shape-wear, for crying out loud. I had a bit of trouble walking even in short heels, but I managed. I have the blisters to prove it.
Wonderful wedding, by the way.
Gone are those days. I have decided to be one form or another “true to myself”. Never will another pair of strappy heels of any form touch my feet. I may have to get creative but there you go.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to everyone but sorry your dream dress didn’t work out 😔
Thanks!
DeleteYou chose well. I hope you recover quickly.
ReplyDeleteI'm almost as good as new.
DeleteYou had a good time. That's what counts.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your grandson and his bride! I'm sure you looked beautiful and happy at the wedding.
ReplyDeleteThey looked beautiful!
DeleteWonderful wedding, that's all that counts. These shoes would have killed me.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how all the young women can wear spike heels.
DeleteSorry the red dress didn't work out, but sounds like you had fun at the wedding and that's what counts! I haven't worn heels since my sister's wedding 11 years ago and I never will wear them again!
ReplyDeleteI hear you.
DeleteThat's a shame about the red dress, but if it didn't look right.... I don't know why women wear heels, smart flats look much better to my mind.
ReplyDeleteI do prefer smart flats!
DeleteWell, that's a bummer about the red dress, but at least it "only" cost $30. Maybe you can consign it? Or put it back on eBay!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your Grandson and that the Wedding went well, albeit you didn't get to wear the Fantasy Red Dress to it.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It turned out that I liked my other two dresses better anyway. Trying and succeeding to find the red dress was fun, and I'm glad I did it.
DeleteAll eyes would probably have been on you in the red dress which would have taken away from the bride : )
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for not taking the spotlight and for being true to your own comfort level.
Excellent point. Now I'm REALLY glad I didn't wear it.
