in Motivation and Support
I'm almost at my half way point, loss wise, and one of my many motivations was the promise of a new dress. These are the two I've narrowed it down to, but I'd love to hear opinions (and maybe see your dream dresses) from others.

    They're both gorgeous! What a great treat for yourself. I don't know your undergarment situation, but it looks like the black one would need a specialty bra, or at least a strapless. If you have one already, go for it. But if it means you'd need to buy a new bra, that's something to consider. The red one is super eyecatching and pretty. . OMG I'm no help. I want them both.

    Haha, well thanks for trying. I love both, so I'm just stumped. The red seems very light and casual, which I like, but the black is so vavavavoom and I like that too. I have a strapless and a u-cut bra, so that's no issue.

    I love love the vintage style but always shied away, thinking it wasn't for me. But I've decided that's silly and if I like it I should just go for it. I love modcloth too; I waste so much time there.

    I'm working on my shoe collection slowly but surely; I just love 'window' shopping, lol.

    Did you have any dresses in mind? I would love to see other ideas from someone with the same style ideals.

    Also, 3 votes for black and 1 for red. Thanks guys.

    Oh hi! So I know how hard you've been working so of course the answer is without question BOTH, doy! But if you need to stagger your purchases I say red first. That just looks like a dress that epic things happen in.

    I had one that I was eyeballing at Modcloth but it sold out before I could buy it. I have a whole board on Pintrest of stuff from that site. I need to go over there an pin some more stuff but I have been trying to stay off there until I can actually buy something otherwise I will fall in love again like I did with the other dress lol. I love everything on the PUG site too, This one caught my eye when I was on there earlier:

    I love the red color but don't love the ties on the shoulders. I love the shoulders/neckline of the black.

    So naturally I vote both.

    Haha. Hubby says both is not an answer, that killjoy.

    I do love the red, it's just so...different from anything I have.

    I don't think you can go wrong with either but the black has my vote.

    But I think your statement says it all, I think you want the red,s o go for it.

    Ya, I love the polka dots with the hint of red in the trim. Super cute. Hubby even liked that one too!

    I've settled on the red one, but in the black as linked by mommachoco. I hope you don't mind me stealing your dress. :flowerforyou: I have a clutch in a matte black and black rose hair clips I think will go amazingly. The order for the dress is in...now for shoes.
