More than a wow moment...more HOLYCRAP (picture)

So today before my friends' wedding at 11:30 I had to make an emergency store run as I had NOTHING appropriate to wear.  Where do I head...thrift store.  I'm dying to spend an obscene amount on a gorgeous dress...but that's for when I have time to shop and savor the experience.

I find a couple acceptable looks, snatch them off the rack paying little attention to the actual size in the dress...just using the thrift store's 'Small/Medium/Large/XL' tag they put on with the price.

I find a gorgeous silk dress with a teeny sprinkle of beads.  Gorgeous...and a whopping $5.99.

Its a size 10.  OH MY GOD...I'M A SIZE10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a self picture...sorry its blurry...hard to hold the camera and get myself in the mirror.  I'll have Clint take a better picture before he takes off for the weekend.



I cried in the dressing room.

Jenn you look fantastic.  I remember crying in the dressing room when I got into a size 10, too.  Wait, you WILL be seeing a single digit soon, that one is hard to wrap your head around.

Isn't that devine!? My husband is so proud of my shopping at the thrift stores. He says that I get more value from these clothes then I did when buying the new clothes! You look great.
