I did have one drunk, close-talking old lady from the pub side of the establishment accost me with "You're gorgeous, just SO gorgeous" commentary. That was fun.
I have to agree with the old lady and say you look absolutely gorgeous!
You worry me that you think you could lose 20 pounds though. Stop comparing yourself with airbrushed and photo shopped skeletal models and revel in how beautiful you are right now!
Thank you, Christine! You are so right, and don't worry. I'm not trying to become skeletal. I just really hate having my photo taken, and I had such a hard time finding a dress that fit, which was very frustrating. Even if I lost 20 pounds I would be still be well within the middle of the healthy weight range for my height. Thanks you so much for caring, and for your thoughtful comments!
You look absolutely perfect in the dress...I'm thrilled for you!
Alessandra, I'd love to add you to my photo album of vintage customers in their finds. If you'd be willing: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150099666567137.282088.65302522136&type=3
You looked fantastic in your dress! Such a gorgeous color for skin tones too. :-)
ReplyDeleteHee! DANG you looked pretty. I can't wait for more pictures to come through -- there will be many more of my fetching new sis, I promise.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Catherine! It is the perfect color.
ReplyDeleteCammila - if only platform heels could take off 20 pounds!

ReplyDeleteBy the way, the girl seated on the left and the junior bridesmaid in the turquoise next to her are my girls. They were gorgeous!

Hi there! Yes, you can use the photo, although I am hoping to see a few better ones of me soon. I can let you know when I've got some more.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow up! Hope you're doing well.
Oh, I always like to follow up! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely shot indeed, but if you want to show me your favorite I'd be happy to wait and see.
Why don't you email me at mwilds@qwest.net when you have something you like best?
Sure thing! If I don't end up with anything better/clearer, you are welcome to use this one.
