Stripe Midi Dress

Hi Loves!

I hope you had a great
weekend. Highlight of my weekend was Emmanuel getting his first haircut (that deserves
a post of its own, right?). Still getting used to his new face and hairless
head. Other than that, it was a pretty chilled weekend for us. On Sunday we had
some friends visit. It felt good to entertain again.

I have been looking forward to
styling this dress. You already know I am a stripe lover, so it didn’t take
much for me to fall in love with this dress.

On another note, it is amazing
what an extra 5 to 7 pounds will do to you. When I saw this dress I initially
thought I would be able to fit in a size 4, which was my sad to say old size.
But when it arrived and I tried it on, and I could barely get the zipper to go
up. I think that was the moment reality set in for me that I officially have a
new size. Well, unless I take getting in shape seriously, which I haven’t been
able to do, ever. I can still miraculously fit most of my old stuff, but the
new ones, they are mostly a size 6. Depending on the style of the garment,
whether fitted or a loose fit, I can still gamble with a 4 every now and then.
But, I think it is time to embrace my new size for now. Even though I already
have quite a few pieces in 6, I was in denial, still blaming it on the
transition period of my post baby body. I think transition period is over and
this is the real deal now. Not complaining, just more of an acceptance of my
new size. The only thing I might refuse to accept is my belly area. Something needs
to happen there, soon!

Have a great day!
