I need some clothes... Hello Shopping!

I just tried on a bunch of dresses that I've either had for years and never wore or I brought in the fall when I was around 160 pounds. Now at 144, I have discovered that the dresses (even the ones I've had) swallow me up! They are baggy and cover up my body. I've always tried to hide behind my clothes because I've always felt fat, even when I was down to 135 my junior year of high school, I always chose t-shirts and other loose fitting clothes to hide my body. My dresses were made to be flowy (that's their style..) but for the first time in my life I think I want tighter fitting dresses to show off my, I can't believe I'm saying this, "cute shape." I think I'm finally okay with my body, I'm trying and starting to accept that I'm just not meant to be a "string bean" or "bean pole" but there are clothes out there, tight fitted clothes even! that will help my body to look the its best while I feel the best inside!

I said this in another post, but the dress I'm wearing in my profile pic, belongs to a friend of mine. Before this realization moment I just had, I would have never looked at dresses like that in a million years! (I always thought that I'd look like a "blimp") Now, I want a closet full of them!

This is a great feeling!
