Okay, so we got the invitiation for my friends Christmas party (which was last night) weeks ago and I was really excited to go. Lots of friends we know well, lots of fun people, and sure to be AMAZING food (it was!). But yesterday morning as we were plugging my friend new address into my husband's GPS, we noticed the invitation said 'cocktail wear'.
Wait, what????! :blink:
I don't own a skirt that even comes close to fitting. I have two dresses - one maternity I had to buy for the summer I was pregnant and FOUR of my friends got married, and the other is my wedding dress! :thumbdown:
So now I was feeling pretty dumb, and figuring I could scrape together a cute shell on top of my nicest dark-wash trouser jeans. Or not go at all. I'm sure no one would have *really* cared if I had come in my jeans, it's just I really wanted to dress up and finally had an occation to do so! I didn't have a car during the day and two kids and a it just wasn't possible to get out to go shopping. So I was in a poopy mood all day.
So when my husband comes in the door from work, I'm just putting some soup on the table for the kids and he asks - did you figure out something to wear tonight? Sort of, I said. He said - how about this? And pulled a dress out of a bag that he had picked up for me on his way home! This is what he picked out for me. INCLUDING a cute black shawl thing and necklace!!! ( I already had cute black strappy heals):w00t:
Anyway, the dress is absolutly perfect for me, fits me perfect, and is perfectly me in style.
HUGE surprise since we dont' have a huge budget for clothes for ourselves. My husband has always been better than me at pickout out clothes for me, but this is the first time he's just gone and surprised me with something like this! I love him. :wub:
