Special Occasion…?

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

Wedding invitation arrives, and again, you are wondering which of the dresses you had before you got pregnant will still fit. My answer for this is very simple- none, hope you’re luckier. But instead of getting depressed by this, I just keep telling myself the old ones are out of style anyway…a bit pathetic? maybe, but it works.

Ok, so I went shopping for a dress that I could feel comfortable in at my friend’s wedding, and came back with some insights to share about this season’s trends:

1. Long dresses are back. I love them, they are so elegant. However, if your best asset is your legs, it’s a waste to wear a long dress and cover them up.

2. A-line dresses and empire dresses are totally in. These work great if you want to show off your legs, and the cleavage is totally up to you, there are so many styles out there!!!

I ended up buying this trapeze dress by BCBG MAx Azria:
