I went summer casual dress shopping this afternoon. The good news is I tried on about 20 dresses in my new, smaller size. 1 was too small, a couple were too big , but the rest all fit perfectly. However, who in the heck decided to put pockets in almost all the dresses?? No matter what style. Most of them had either visible cargo-type pockets or slash pockets on the hips (which you can't see when they're on the hanger, btw) I have hips, I have curves, I'm a WOMAN dang it!!! The last thing I need is extra layers of fabric on my hips. There were some really cute sheath type cotton dresses and they all had slash pockets on them, they stick out when you sit, and then the extra layers make a funny look, instead of nice and flat-ish (I'm not flat in that area). And exactly what am I going to use these pockets for? Not like I'm gonna shove my car keys or cell phone in the pocket to creat an extra lovely lump.
I did however, find a very cute dress for only $20 at TJ Maxx. The one that didn't fit was also there, and they didn't have it in any other sizes, which was a shame, bc it was very cute. It was a white eyelet type button down shirt dress. I was doing good til I got to my chest. It just wasn't gonna happen! And I'm not big chested, but I'm kinda broad backed. But, I'd call it successful I found a cute dress and only spent $20!! It's melon and dark brown colored, so with a jacket, I think I could take it into fall as well.
