My never updated Planning/Married Bio: http://mgoss228.weebly.com/
Seattle Knotties: Please page me if you send me a PM!
one of my bridesmaids wore the Monique Lhullier dress for my wedding and it was super flattering on her. She's probably about 5'4 or 5'5, fairly pale, pretty large up top... let me see if I can find a picture (the dress was black).
of course neither of the pics i have are great, but here you go:
I'm actually obsessed with shopping, lol, and have taken a few friends/coworkers to basically re-vamp their wardrobe. If I didn't work in computer science, I'd totally be a personal shopper or interior designer, heh.
Ha! I wish I was a friend or coworker then, because you pick out cute stuff. I hate-hate-hate shopping. I keep saying once I lose the last few pounds that I want to lose, and win the lotto, that I'm going to go on a crazy shopping binge, but honestly I'd still probably only want to buy shoes and purses.
To make matters worse, SIL works in the fashion industry and always is so impeccably dressed! Talk about intimidating (but she's really nice and great).
I totally understand how you feel. I recently lost 40 pounds, and I still struggle a lot with body image. I love shoes and purses because I don't have to worry about size, and so it was definitely difficult to embrace the clothing shopping as well. I think that's also why I love shopping for other people, heh.
If you ever want to go shopping (when I'm off crutches), seriously, just let me know, because I'm always happy to go (or help pick something out online).
Pinterest is also a great source for fashion inspiration. It's neat to pin stuff too, and figure out your own fashion style.
Here's my board, which is totally out of my price range, haha.
