DO I NEED THE COAT HANGER MORE THAN THE DRESS?


I am at a loss as to where all the coat hangers disappear to, it's like the sock vortex, there just isn't enough when you need them. So going on a hunt for coat hangers hanging in wardrobes with nothing on them, I came across THE sexy pink dress.

This dress was a spur of the moment purchase. Went to the wedding ceremony, decided to go shopping before the reception and there she was. A gorgeous bright lipstick pink, in flowy chiffon that hugged my now curvaceous body. (I had not long lost 20kgs). I felt gorgeous, I felt sexy, something I hadn't felt for a long long time and the look in his eyes told me I was right.

So I bought the dress and we rushed to buy a new bra, because of course didn't have one that suited the neckline of the dress, new 'cant see the seams or the elastic' type undies and he bought me stockings. Not pantyhose, but stockings that stay up without suspenders. Hooley Dooley did I feel fantastic. I wore that dress to the wedding and felt like Cinderella at the ball. (I did wear that dress again, and it was to another wedding, catholic church, but instead of Cinderella I was Barbarella, I had forgotten to put knickers on before going to the church (ouch naughty girl as I slapped myself whilst whispering the fact into someone's ear as the 'I do's' were being said, but that is another blog ;-)

Any way, this dress was my self esteem booster, and I have just taken it out of the wardrobe and had the two thoughts above. Alas, I no longer fit into this dress and the 20kgs plus some have moved back in and taken up residence on my arse and thighs and so the decision needs to be made. Do I need the coat hanger more than the dress?

  1. you need the dress - because sometimes, just sometimes - the memories that go with those sorts of things can be very inspirational.

  2. Julie, you dont need a dress to let the world know what a sexy, sexy woman you are.
    You are one HOT MAMA on the inside and out in every sense of the word and don't let anyone tell you or let you believe any different.
    Believe, believe,believe that you are beautiful, sexy and altogether darn gorgeous to those that matter in your life, naked, dressed, dressed to nines or in your oldest daggiest clothes.
    Sisters know these things
