So I found a dress. I tried it on without Spanx and it's a little snug but it's really pretty and I can wear it for the wedding in October as well as in Chicago.
Frankly, there's nothing worse than a fat girl in a too-tight dress, so I'm bringing a backup and I will rely on some of you to tell me the *truth* if it's not quite ready for prime time. Still need to figure out shoes and accessories. I am terrible at accessorizing. I wear the same earrings and my wedding rings every single day. I don't even wear a watch anymore.
Here's an interesting little tidbit for those of us with Allergan bands: My mom has Allergan product(s) - her new boobs, acquired last spring - and she keeps getting all kinds of free stuff from them. Lots of cosmetic samples, Latisse, that kind of thing. I also have an Allergan product, and I have gotten jack shit on a stick from Allergan. Not even a postcard. What's up with that?
