My $8.74 Dress #203

My friend and I went shopping today. I found a store the other day that has been having a 75% Sale. I have bought several skirts and frillier tops. Since I have lost my weight I think I need to dress a little nicer and more feminine. I am actually enjoying shopping and trying on clothes. I like the way most things look on me. I haven’t felt that way in quite a few years now.

This winter I started buying size 4 jeans and I really enjoyed dressing those up. After I bought my first maxi skirt I realized I enjoy dressing like a girl. There are a few things that I still would like to improve on my body. My arms are too flabby and my thighs have a little too much sag, but I can dress to work around those areas.

So today I bought a dress for $8.74, I don’t believe I have purchased a dress anywhere near that cheaply in the last ten years so it can count as a first. The dress has spaghetti straps and I didn’t want to show my arms so I bought the blouse for $6.24 to wear over it. I loved the details with the lengths that are different. The blouse is very thin. You can see through it. It is hard to tell in the lighting of my kitchen.

Believe it or not, I have purchased 8 skirts now and several feminine type tops to wear with them. I can wear the blouse with the skirts too. I got the skirts for $7.50 each. I got some blouses for $4.25. I have a whole new wardrobe and I spent very little. Since I don’t have a job I have to really watch what I spend.

I wish I had taken a picture in better lighting, but I wanted to get my blog post written and I forgot to take a picture today. I also need a haircut. I had to skip my appointment to go to the funeral and I haven’t gotten another one scheduled yet. Those bangs are bad!! I have some thick hair.

I am so excited, tomorrow is going to be a great first. I will be going with my daughter and my two grandsons for this one. I can’t wait!!!
