How many of you out there LOVE trying on clothes?? Ha! Do I even have to ask?? Well yesterday was my day. My husband’s company is hosting a conference in a couple of weeks, and since I’ll be meeting some of his clients at a cocktail reception, he suggested I go buy a new dress. Not only that, but after the conference we’re taking his employees and their spouses for a night on the town.

Sounds fun, huh?

Ya, great, especially when my husband’s instructions are, “Nothing frumpy.” His definition of frumpy is very different from mine. To my hubs anything that’s not skin tight is frumpy! LOL!

So off to Dillards I went, hoping that I would find the perfect cocktail dress and night out outfit that would be sexy enough for my husband and comfortable enough for me. What did I find? Panic in the dressing room!

As soon I took my clothes off and stood naked in front of the mirror I wanted to gag. Add to that the bad lighting, warped mirror, and the fact that I’m PMSing, and I was soon looking for a makeshift noose. I did end up finding something I think will satisfy both our wants, but as I was trying on a million different styles I wondered how many women have ever felt like I do, and are there any tips for feeling good while trying on clothes? Turns out there are:

Wish I had read this before I went, but maybe it will help you the next time you have to face the…da dum da dum da dum…dreaded dressing room.

Check back next Wednesday to see some more (GULP) progress..
