Ugh.
I'm so bummed.
I ordered this dress from Boden last weekend (on a loneliness-fueled online shopping binge while my hubby was out of town).
Isn't it so pretty?! Some girlfriends and I are heading to NYC in October and I thought this would be SO lovely to wear to dinner... And it's got that cinched in waist that Stacy & Clinton are always saying is flattering.
Alas, I put it on and it made me look ginormous. Like PREGNANT ginormous. And heaven knows I don't need that.
So, after a moment where I considered stowing it away for my next fabulous-occasion-while-preganat (b/c this WOULD look fantastic on me if I were, in fact, pregnant!), I decided to return it.
Good thing I DO have this dress to wear while in NYC...
...though I'm not entirely sold on how it looks on me. It's a very cute style, though, and I love all the glitzy, silver-y embroidery.
I ALSO returned the following number to Boden...
...which didn't necessarily make me look huge, so much as like a crazy-kaftan-wearing hippie . Apparently, I cannot board the kaftan train. I tried. Can't pull it off.
*Sigh* I hate shopping for myself right now. Probably why I spend too much money on clothes for my kids...
