You all know we're going to Vegas next month to renew our wedding vows for our 10 year wedding anniversary, right? I have been trying to find a fun and sexy dress to wear for the occasion.
Well the awesome and lovely Suzi mentioned on twitter the other day that she had a dress she was wondering if anyone wanted. I causally said I would love it if no one else had requested it. And she said I was first. And the beautiful dress arrived today:
I cannot even begin to tell you how awesome it felt to try this dress on and have it fit. It's a size 16. SIXTEEN PEOPLE!! Hello?! Because I admit when I took it out of the box I thought-oh this is never going to fit me. I am way too fat for this dress. I have boobs in this dress! The husband? Well he is pretty happy with this dress, too. And I have decided when I am no longer able to wear it, I am going to pass it on, too, like Suzi did to me. I think it's stunning and I love it.
This dress is perfect! It's what I wanted. And I can't wait to buy shoes, a bra and underwear to go with it. You know-girlie stuff.
I never know what to do with my hands in pictures. I look so dorky. Ha. But I was so happy to be in this dress. Just wait until I get back into my size 8 clothes. I'm going to be bouncing off the walls!!
I know I need to get rid of that stomach but I'm a work in progress. And I have 6 weeks to go until Vegas. So I have time. The hubby even said the dress will probably be too big by the time we get there. Ha. I'm wearing this dress if it kills me.
Thank you, Suzi! Thank you so much! You are the bestest person and I love you!! I promise to enjoy this dress as much you did. And will post pictures of the fun I have in Vegas wearing this dress, too. With Elvis.

You look SO happy and your vow renewal is going to be so special!
I LOVE IT, red is definitely your color!! You look awesome!!
Congrats, the dress is a beautiful dramatic color and is definitely a statement. (We tend to hide behind drab colors when we don't feel good about ourselves.)

What a hot hot hottie YOU are!!!
I LOVE it!!!
LOVE it! You are looking fab! I almost wore a dress to work today but hesitated last minute LOL! I have never ever worn a dress to work. But I did wear leggings and boots (never worn leggings out of the house but they looked good). Loving your confidence in your post and the photo! x
What fun; looks great! Keep plugging away:-)
Hey, just wanted you to know that I nominated you for a blog award :)

I am *SO* happy that you got the dress!! It looks absoultely STUNNING on you girl. Seriously!! I got all teary eyed when I saw you in it.
I know how much it meant to me when I got it so I can imagine how it felt for you as well. It's the moments like these that are the greatest rewards for all the hardwork we put in.
I love the idea of passing it on. To me, this dress marks a milestone in your life...for me, it was the first time since losing weight that I felt 'Beautiful' again. Hopefully the person you pass it onto will feel the same way as we felt in the dress. I want to keep track of this dress though for sure!!
You look amazing girl. I can't wait to see more pics. I love you girl!! xoxo- Suzi
Fantastic dress. You are going to look so beautiful in Las Vegas! I'm am going there for the first time on the 14th.
Sorry I didn't get a chance to comment until now, this is an awesome post - you're happiness and confidence just shines right through! :)
