Does anyone else have a "dream outfit"?

Not sure where to post this, but I was just wondering if anyone else is holding on to an outfit or article of clothing that ABSOLUTELY doesn't fit anymore, but they can't bear to get rid of because maybe, just maybe, it will fit again someday?

I have this bikini. It's a white, sexy, little number that I wore for a hot second when I was 19 before I gained my "freshman 15" in college. I got 3 phone numbers at the pool the day I wore it (seriously). Anyway, I've held onto it because I loved it so much, but it's pretty ridiculous. I'm 34 now, so the chances of it ever fitting again are slim to none. I dieted down to 148lbs last year, which is very thin for my 5'11" frame, and it still didn't fit because I didn't exercise at all and was "skinny fat". I've since had another kid and it is farther out of reach than ever, but I just can't bear to get rid of it. A little voice in my head keeps saying "well maybe... if you work REALLY hard..."

Anyone else have a dream outfit?

    I have a pair of jeans that I wore right after highschool before I had kids. Size 1. I am 5'8" and about 135 lbs now and I wear between a 3 and a 6. I am in the best physical shape of my life right now and I can't get those jeans to fit. I got hips when I had children, but I can't bare to throw them out or get rid of them because they were that "one pair" of jeans that fit just perfect and made my "assets" look fantastic.

    I never fit in to it - I bought it to inspire me. It's an adorable tennis outfit - tight skirt and form fitting top. Can't. Wait.

    I don't own anything I want to fit into, but my "dream outfit" Is actually a bathing suit. Id love to wear a two piece but I have stretch marks from my kids, like bad ones, so idk if that is a tangible goal. A one piece should be though :D

    I have a bikini I would love to wear - I remember when I would wear it before and thought nothing of it but damn it I was hot :love:
    I would give anything to get back to that size.....

    It took me almost 3 years to finally give up bags of clothes that I will probably never fit into again - but this one bikini is still in my drawer daunting me!

    I bought a catwoman costume that I lied to myself and said "it's for halloween" but really it was for fun, any day really

    It's all latex, so very unforgiving.

    Some day.

    I don't have an exact outfit in mind, but I've seen hundreds and hundreds of fantastic fashionable (and very inexpensive!) feminine clothes on ebay that come from Asian countries, and their XXL (usually the largest size any of them carry) is a US size 8. So my goal is to get down to a size 8 so that I can buy and wear those adorable little outfits! I live in a smaller town, they'd look so unique and I'd absolutely rock them, I just know it! :P

    I have a little black dress, with big pink roses embroidered on the left side of the skirt, and a jacket that I wore a little over 10 years ago to a Christmas dinner Hubby and I went to. I looked awesome in it, but gained a bunch of weight and couldn't get into it much less zip it. So last fall I gave it to a friend who had recently lost alot of weight and was looking fabulous. She didn't feel comfortable in it, but held onto it... well, she recently gave it back to me now that I've lost weight again, and guess what? It is loose on me now!!

    Guess I need a new dream outfit now because that one is going to be too big for me soon! I'm thinking something that shows off my legs and boobs!

    I have a pair of pants that was the smallest size I've ever worn. I was so FREAKING excited when I tried them on in the store, because it was the first time I'd EVER been able to fit clothes in the "junior" section of a store before (this was when I was around 15.) All my life I'd been forced to shop in the women's section and completely bypassed the cute, teen clothes, but I'd managed to lose quite a bit of weight during the summer just before my freshman year in high school. I was so proud in those pants......then I started gaining weight.....and gaining and gaining and GAINING. But I still have those pants.... I look at them now and I think "wow....i actually used to wear these. i was really THAT SMALL once!" They may be faded and out of style by the time I can put them on again, but DAMMIT I'M GONNA ROCK THOSE PANTS AGAIN!

    I bought a mint green bikini from Victoria Secret when I could actually fit into their cups. I am waiting for the day I can try it on, look in the mirror, and think "DAMN I look slammin'"

    ok, so everyone has to come back and post pictures in their dream outfits once they reach their goal. Except the person that said their birthday suit... I'd be fine with it but that probably violates some terms of service. lol.

    I bought a little black bandage type dress for a concert I went to a couple weeks ago. It had an open lace back that cut into the side. I felt horribly uncomfortable (I do not normally wear skin tight clothing) but I don't think it looked half bad.

    Is it sad that I think I look better in my head than I do when I actually look in the mirror? lol.

    Nothing exact, but being comfortable in a bikini, shorts, skirts, or dresses that show some thighs, not worrying about shirts lifting up and wearing tank tops underneath, or tank tops or things that show off the back and shoulders.

    I have two.
    A little midnight blue dress I wore ages ago. I looked lovely in it and my husband loved it.
    The other is a silk Lilly Pulitzer that was a gift. I just this last week got it zipped. Another few pounds and I think I can get away with it.
    This will be a major NSV for me!

    I have a black silk skirt with a little slit and a red embroidered crane around the slit and a sleeveless silk red blouse. I call the skirt my "me love you long time" skirt. Although, it is not nearly as skanky as it sounds now that I write it out. Anyway, I don't even think I want to wear it. I just want to know I could.

    I'd like to look pretty in a dress but I'm short and I've got those huge legs and it just looks bad... But I don't feel like I'll ever achieve it because I'm already almost underweight, so I won't be losing much more, and my legs are already almost all muscle, it's genetics I guess. Like I play soccer and I've got the biggest muscles but half the girls on my team can kick harder... So I guess those muscles just exist, do nothing and make me the ugly way of buff :( No dreams are gonna come true for this girl :x

    Yes!!! This super sexy little black dress size medium, which is a realistic goal for me. But it's extremely tight and form-fitting so I really have to put lots of hard work at the gym before I can fit into it and look super good in it! One day it will happen and that day will be awesome!!! :drinker:
