The white lace nightgown - NSV

I have a white lace nightgown. I bought it about 17 years ago, it was an impulse buy that I couldn't really afford when I was in university. I saw it in the window of a shop and said to myself I MUST have that. I knew that it was going to be the nightgown I would wear on my honeymoon. Nevermind that I didn't have a boyfriend or even a twinkle in my eye of when that would ever happen. After all I was in university and concentrating on school, parties and well more school.

But I bought it, cleaned out my whole week budget to pick it up. It's an ankle length lace very see through gown, with shoulder straps, deep vee bodice and a slit up to the woo woo on the left side. I LOVED it...and I picked it up in a Large because I fit a Large at the time.

Over the years, it's hung in my closet, never once used nor worn. It's become yellow with age, it's become weary with a life path that has never justified it's use and when I put on the weight and started thinking about taking the weight off, it was the bench marker for when I would be "happy" with myself.

With the move and the busy summer and all the running around I've been doing since May, I've completely forgotten about this gown. Today I saw it hanging in my back closet and I thought to myself....I wonder....

So I tried it on....I'm wearing it as I type and it's TOO big. It's never going to be that pristine white lace, fitted gown again. So once I dance around the room in it just for old times sake, I'm going to take it off...throw it out....and find another goal, another delicious frock to focus myself upon. I'm no longer the girl that dreams about weddings and princes and perfect honeymoons. I'm something much more....

so now the question is:

Do I find another sweet frock? or something sinfully delicious... :devil:

You tell me.....
