I got a new dress!

I know right? Big deal for me. Wouldn't you know it.

I've had very few dresses in my life. One borrowed for a wedding. Another gifted at a reunion which I'm too afraid to wear. And a third I bought for court which I promptly got rid of after court.

This one, I bought because I needed to buy it for myself. I've never done that before. So I asked the one person I thought I could go shopping with who would make me feel empowered to forget all my anxieties and just roll with it.

Maybe I was a little generous with how much I like the dress. Okay. But the important thing is that I can see myself wearing it at least a couple of times before I decide if I hate it. Or hate dresses altogether. But we've got good signs. I felt good about myself when I saw the mirror. I tried on a smaller size and felt better buying it. I stayed away from shame during the whole process. Go me!

Anyway. Here's a pic from the store :p
