I love how the sun shining on my face makes me look as though I have a tan! Aaah, the days when the sun is warm and the thermometer doesn't say TEN DEGREES!
I remember wearing this dress last December to my sister's annual holiday party and she pulling me aside to tell me that when I raised my hands you could see the seam of the control top on my tights. Ack! Now due to my new size, I can raise BOTH HANDS and not flash anything. Funny how a few pounds can change not only the waistband of your favorite jeans but the total length and silhouette of each garment in your closet. It seems each weekend I have to re-assess my wardrobe and decide what fits, what flatters, what to take off the hangers and sell/donate, and what to hold off on thinking it may work in a few weeks. I am really looking forward to warmer weather and playing with my spring wardrobe!
The hair is really growing on me – I washed it last night, let it air dry for most of the head and just dried the bangs straight. This morning I took random large sections of my hair and put it in the curling iron, let it cool and finger-combed

LOVE that dress!! And your hair looks great, too!!
I’ve lost almost 10 lbs lately and it so DOES make a difference in how things hang and the length and everything.
You look fantastic! And you’re motivating me to lose weight!!
You look great, what a fabulous dress! I can very much relate to what you say about losing some pounds can totally change how a garment looks on you:)
