Yesterday was my third time trying on dresses (Alfred Angelo, Kleinfelds, David's Bridal) and I am not a girly girl, I don't typically enjoy shopping and was already getting tired of trying on dresses. I wasn't looking forward to it and figured it would take me a long time to find "the dress" considering the last time I wore a dress was my senior prom (4 years ago) and my work uniform consists of fight shorts, a T-shirt and a black belt. I don't dress up.
I saw this dress and was like "WOW, I like that. The pink one." Now, I HATE pink usually. So I was a bit confused. I tried it on, loved it. The sample was a 12, I'm between a 6 and 8. So it was big on me. I also tried on the ivory one in a size 6 and loved how I looked in that one too but it wasn't the same feeling as the blush color. So, now, someone who does not wear dresses and does not own a single pink article of clothing, is going to be wearing a pink wedding dress. Shock of the century.
I'm keeping it secret (expection of bridesmaids & mom) and can't WAIT to see the reactions of everyone. I figured, hey I'm a bit offbeat, funky, edgy, unique, eccentric, might as well go big or go home!
