I was looking for code monkey everybody,

Does SHE like it.

I actually really like it. But a dress cut like that doesn't work with my man shoulders

I think the trouble I'm having is (aside from being fixed on the Frankie Jean one), I like all the black and red ones - all the ones that aren't weddingy.

I have the black version of that which I wore to another wedding. It's too small now.

That was supposed to quote LIRS cherry dress.

I look at lots of those ebay clothes. I really wanted a dress in the monsoon sale but wanted foundinrates to see it first, by the time he't got round to it it had sold out.

Like code monkey, it was with an event in mind, but I'm determined to go in something I already have. My thing is a relaxed gathering, I could go in jeans if I want to/ need to. So its not so difficult. I'm just pleased I'm getting out.

It will be second purely social outing this year not local I think? . ( whohoo) so I am excited to feel well enough to feel committed and pleased and enthusiastic about it. And strong physically to get there.

Also last week, I wore high heels ( ok, wedges) with no walking aid, and no husband to hang on to and only one stumble, no fall. .

I am thinking I might try wearing heels when we go out, depending what I end up wearing.

( see Pyxis, I am trying, I might even rustle up a pet pic for you )

Ooh this is pretty.

calleyw

why are you tempting me with all these lovely dresses.

I need to loose weight before I buy anything else.

Want to loose about 3stone. But I am going to take it a day at a time LOL!!!

As the old saying goes how do you eat an elephant. A bite at a time

Right time to go and clean my teeth and take my face off.

Yours

Some lovely dresses!

Calley, I had shoes in a similar style to those for my wedding. I have a photo just can't work out how to get it to upload. We had a superhero comic book themed wedding, so I had comic book shoes and the bridesmaids dresses were superhero comic book fabric. Hubby hid an Iron Man Lego figure in the wedding cake!
