NSV - Dress & Shoes!

I am and probably always will be a tom-boy at heart.
I don't dress up for work unless I have a meeting to go to as I change into scrubs when I get there and they are really not flattering to many. [ i have gone from XL scrubs to L I could go to M tops but the trousers are still a little too tight]
This weekend I had a big family party (40th Wedding aniversary) and I needed something to wear and having lost 40+lb I decided to go a little mad.... with the help of a friend twisting my arm I bought a dress - my youngest daughter has never seen me in one, and I think my eldest last saw me wear a ankle length skirt at her sisters christening - and they are 4.5 and 2.5!
She also persuaded me to buy high heels - I don't normally wear anything over an inch tops - I have broken my left ankle twice and my right once. I have a plate and nine screws from the last time I wore heals and they were 2 inch wedges....
So roll on tonight and I have to say I really enjoyed myself some great compliements from people who know me, I spent way more time on my feet that I intended and other than the balls of my feet being a little sore at the end no other rubs or sore spots.
Now for the important stuff as promised pictures the dress is a size 18 curvy ( it is cut for the larger bust) and the shoes were a size smaller than I have worn in the past as a 7!
and for reference this is me in 2011 before MFP!
My eldest daughter's reaction was "mummy you're beautiful" the youngest's was "mummy you look silly", she didnt think I looked like mummy and wanted me to put on trousers and a t-shirt :ohwell:
