I got this fantastic dress from Loft for Christmas:

Its a black lace dress with a nude slip underneath. Sexy and stylish. I love it. I haven’t had the chance to wear it because its been cold and it doesn’t fit right. I have to get about 6 inches taken in from the top because my hips are a size 8, but the rest of me is like a size 4. I tried the dress on last night and pulled the excess fabric away and was blown away at how skinny I looked. You see yourself everyday, but you don’t see yourself, you know what I mean?
And Later, because I like messing with my own head, I tried on my swimsuit. (full confession, its a bikini! No judgement.)
In the middle of winter.
Normally, this would be a recipe for disaster. But you know what? I felt fine in it. I was happy with what I saw. And that my friends, is a victory all in itself.
Hope you all have a great week!
