Well I basically just got to live out every girl's fantasy: Trying on formal wear 4 weeks post partum. I have a bad cold and my baby, who I once thought was a miracle baby because she slept for 6 hours straight two times, decided to wake up every 2 hours last night. So I was in no way physically or emotionally prepared for this shopping experience.
I mean, I knew I wasn't exactly looking slim right now. But holy hell. The lighting was not my friend. I looked like some sort of indistinguishable fat sack in most dresses. I almost lost all hope when I stumbled upon what can only be described as the Quinceañera department of Dillard's. But thankfully there were some more conservative options in the adjacent old lady section.
I ended up with two options. One I'm almost 99% sure I will see a senior citizen also wearing at the event next weekend, probably looking way more fly than me. The other was more than I've ever spent on a dress ever but I think I could actually wear again. So it's pretty much a win-win.
I can justify spending more money on the second dress with the rationale of: Oh wait...I don't give a shit how much this cost because you are making me go to a formal event 4 weeks after birthing your baby. But also it's kind of pretty.
Long story short: thank God for Spanx.
