I wanted to share my journey of choosing the perfect dress for Friday night’s event… I had these six dresses to choose from and I tried each one of them before deciding…
My friend calls this process 'burning of excess energy' and I call it 'awakening of the girly spirits'…
Anyways, so I tried this polka dot dress first, I love the cut and the color but felt it could be a little on the casual side…
Then, I tried these Adrianna Papell dresses, I have been looking for one in silver for several months now and I am starting to wonder if I should give up my quest.
This dress reminds me of a mermaid and what girl could resist being transformed into a mermaid every once in a while…
I tried this sage green dress, its very comfy but the color was a little subdued for night lights…
Then of course I had to give a traditional black dress a shot… but I didn’t feel carefree in that so I decided against it…
Finally I decided on the sand color dress and as I was looking for the perfect jewelry to go with it, the baby sitter came… she is a sweet person and reminds me of my mum and I love her, so I asked her opinion… Of course, at 50+ her girly spirits are still very much alive and she asked me to model for her, some of my other options….
In the end, we settled for this combo… she called it ‘farm owner from the south’ dress.
So the party on the farm was a fun and successful event… School rose more than their targeted funds… and most importantly, it being the Kentucky Derby weekend, I fit just right with my friends’ denims and cowboy boots…
Oh, and one more picture, my weight loss buddy, my sister-in-law wanted to see me in this dress… my goal was to fit in this dress before 1 May 09.
And yes, it fits…

ReplyDeleteHey Shalini love your choice of outfits. Reminds me of my favourite film Pretty Woman. Which in turns reminds me of Richard Gere who I LURVE! Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, on fitting in the dress! :0)
ReplyDeleteYou are inspiring me on my weight loss journey for this November. I am in a wedding for a friend!
P.S. You looked beautiful in all of the dresses!
You look so beautiful! Love your polka dot dress and hat -- I could never pull off a hat like that, but it looks fantastic on you! And congrats on fitting in the dress -- you truly look great!
