Dresses



This is the first of many summers where I will not be pregnant or breastfeeding. I really like wearing dresses, and seeing this photo of Shawna, made my think I need to wear a dress! 

I did buy a beautiful "goal" dress in a size six, and it is currently sitting in my closest staring at me. I have put on a good 8 pounds by not running, and keeping up the same eating habits of when I was training. 

Where is a great place to buy dresses? I am going to wear dresses all summer!!  I have no restrictions now! My body is my own! The only thing is I need a below the knee to sort of hide my ugly man vein legs!

Any ideas for what would look good on me? I need some help!  And shoes, what does one wear with dresses these days? Oh, and I need reasonable!!

I vote for Ann Taylor Loft! So much cheaper than Ann Taylor but still fun non-mom dresses.

(Do you have Ann Taylor Loft in CA?)

I'm not big on dresses but Superstore's Joe line always seems to have cute on-trend dresses that are summery and fun.

Oh Cathy - You make me blush!

I am a total dress girl, it helps hide the muffin top and is always cute.

My top picks for places to buy dresses: The Wal {aka: WalMart} - that's where that floral diddy is from. Winners, Superstore {As Christy said} & H&M.

If you head out to the Super WalMart in South Surrey, you can stop by H&M {it's right across the street}...Happy Dress Shopping! xo, *S

I agree, H&M has tons of maxi dresses, the ones that are long enough to cover the legs. Me likes too!

Oooh! I am going to get some dresses this weekend. April, I had to Google maxi dresses. Me like. P.S. Can these be worn anytime? And what footwear?

I'm a lurker who followed the link from your mom's blog. I have heard rave reviews about Dress Barn in the states, just thought I'd pass it along!
