edited January 28 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 vote for the red. Very eye catching ~ that's what you're after, right?

    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.

    Seems fair.

    I'm so excited, and was thrilled to see I was actually in a medium legitimately and not just in my head, lol. Two months ago it would have been a large for sure.

    I love the black one!!

    I do adore the black. I think it will be my "I've hit 145!" incentive.

    Or maybe black-gingham-daisy-dress.jpg

    Not sure, but I have 7 pounds to decide. I've never worn a lot of dresses or heels but I intend to change that. New body, New fun wardrobe I was afraid to embrace before!
