PURCHASED MY FIRST DRESS 👗

Shanus — Fri, 10 Apr 2020 16:48:28 GMT

I purchased my first dress (except the 2 I HAD to wear to kids' weddings) in 50 years. I found one they call fit & flare...black & white (shocker) tiny polka dots. I was supposed to accompany my DIL to Easter mass. Oh well!

@ECBG Sadly NEVER wear dresses or skirts. I'm happy I didn't spend a lot for it since it will never be worn.

@Shanus Never be worn? You and your DIL can go to other services, then there's anniverseries, and you can always go out to dinner to "wear the dress"! See how much you've enjoyed it?!!!

@ECBG @Mimi 1883 I know it's strange, but I feel in slacks, I have a longer line...no break between dress hem, legs, shoes. I really do not own any dresses or skirts. My closet has only two feet of space on rod for long hanging and that's for robes. The rest of walk-in is double hung rods...pants, tops and jackets.

I must have at least 15 dresses I wear them all Summer long, they are a lot cooler than pants in the Summer

@Shanus

Sounds like a nice pretty dress! You can always wear it later for other occasions.

@I am still oxox

I love dresses too! I agree that they are cooler than pants in hot temperatures. I wear mine all year long. I have about a dozen dresses, mostly wrap style, but I also have a few sheaths and one shift dress.

I totally get what you say about wearing a dress. I don't even own one. I haven't worn a dress or skirt in over 25 years I feel more comfortable in pants plus I feel I look better. I'm just not a dress girl.

The last time I wore a "dress".........actually a business suit, was the day I got married (on my lunch hour) -- 46 years ago.

@Shanus You're not the only one! It's been years since I wore a dress or skirt and then only for a wedding. I'm just not a dress person and hate the way my knees look plus I don't care for longer dresses.

I'm sure you will find other occasions in the future to wear the dress!

@Shanus You take such good care of yourself....I'm sure you look stunning whether dress or slacks. Wear what is comfortable for you and most of all....enjoy the occasion!

@Shanus

you did not really have to go out and buy a dress for easter. you could have just worn a beautiful top and pant. the days of only dresses to church, even on a religious holiday, are long gone. most importantly, feel comfortable AND look good at the same time.

I never wear dresses due to my varicose veins. Found these on Shop HQ and thought I was all set for engagement party, baby shower, and afternoon wedding in April. Oh well, they look nicin my closet.

@Shanus I've got a solution for the white leg dilemma - found out about it from Dominique Sachse. It's Jergen's Natural Glow in medium to tan - don't bother with a lighter shade, trust me.

It really does work, at least for me. It's Not a stain, so there's no orange-y color; just a temporary, nice tan. And, no transfer onto clothing! 👍

@Zaimee You look so pretty in both dresses! Good choices. 👍

@Mimi 1883 Thanks. I've tried it in the lighter shade. It's darker and looks obvious than my whiter arms and whatever else is sticking out.
