Getting Real And Personal

So I kind of wondered if this would fall under one of those “TMI” posts….

But then I thought, it could possibly be seriously funny.  And no doubt there are other ladies/mommas out there who have had this very same struggle.  {Sorry, men.  But no doubt that some of you husbands will totally understand this too, if you want to keep reading.  But totally up to you.  I understand if you stop right here! :)}

The struggle is real, y’all.  And I’m getting real and pretty personal with you right here. Right now.

The post-baby body.

Either some of you are super ecstatic about it, or some of you totally dread it.

I’m on the fence.

I mean, I lost my weight and a little more.  Positive!!

But then, I’ve experienced this thing where I need all new tops.  And my dresses look um, baggy,…up top.  Errrrr?

You catch what I’m throwing out here?

Sad day in the fitting room…or closet for that matter.

So I took my dresses to a nearby tailor and had him check them, er, me, out.

Here I am with all my pins…

I had 3 dresses that were pinned up like this…

Let me just tell you how my confidence was bursting out of every pore of my being….

Especially when Nick, my tailor man {originally from Portugal} says to me in his sweet accent: “Dis! Dis is VERY baggy up here!!”

HA!

Yes, yes, I know this.  Thank you for stating the very obvious.

One dress, that I didn’t take pictures of, made me feel like Madonna when she wore those outrageous cones…yeah, remember that?  I felt that way in one particular dress and desperately wanted that fixed, like, yesterday.

So then, I’ve waited almost two weeks to get them back.

And today I picked them up and tried on all three and they are gorgeous.   They’re all lovely and fitted.  And I feel like a GIRL again.

Don’t look at my hair.  I had a friend take this picture….and apparently I was having a VERY bad hair day and didn’t even know it…and I think I seriously need a bump-it!

That’s all.  I hope you thoroughly enjoyed this post and are feeling extremely confident about yourself right now because you’ve seen all of my flaws!!! 🙂

HAPPY FRIDAY FRIENDS!
