A new dawn, a new day, a new dress

Once a month for work my mom and I go to credit meetings. Not the most fun times of the month but I do learn quite a bit through it. I took a couple classes through the association and in August will be taking my final class to recive my CBA credit business associate. Anyways, these meetings aren't really strict but its just common knowledge to wear business causal clothing meaning no jeans. But like I said its not strict. I always found this time hard because I didn't have much dressy stuff that fit anymore. For the first time I was actually looking forward to this meeting.

Well after I bought my first maxie dress and loved it I set out for more dresses. I was ready to be dressy again and wear all my jewelry. I noticed before my surgery I wasn't as into it as I used to be. I couldn't find anything to wear that I felt was dressy enough. So a couple weekends ago I went shopping with my mom and found a really cute short dress. I rarely wore dresses especially short ones. I have really white legs and I didn't want to blind anyone :). I never wore dresses to work either. We're really casual here but occasionally I wanted to dress up. Finally was the time of our meeting and I got to wear my new dress. I know some of you propably think I'm crazy for making wearing a dress such a big deal but I have a reason. I just felt pretty! (On a side note I didn't blind anyone either. Those self tanner lotions like Jergens and Nivea are great! I'm still white but not blindingly so haha). A client of ours came in yesterday too and started crying. She had seen me a few times since my surgery because she comes in to pick up a check from us but never said anything to me. She knew I had surgery but I guess she just hadn't seen the differences yet. She's always been very sweet and she just gushed and started tearing up. To be honest it was a little awkard but it made me feel really good. Here's me and the new dress.

I hope that wasn't anticlimatic! I mean it wasn't a fancy cocktail dress or anything lol. But I think its a cute dress and I felt really pretty that day!
