The following was purchased with personal funds.
Most of the time, I hate myself.
But don’t feel weird about that- you probably do, too.
Yeah, there are pros to being me, but there’s always that part that highlights the cons. Sometimes those cons win, at least inside my mind. I’m not a very confident person about the usual small stuff people get hung up on- my hair sucks, I’m overweight, my nose is so shiny, my clothes are wonky. But it’s small stuff, super small stuff. A couple of weeks ago, I got tired of my negative attitude and decided to have the first Feel Good About Yourself day. No complaining. Wear something nice. Smile.
Did it work? Yeah, it actually did.
I wore makeup. I did my hair. I wore a nice dress. And I had a haircut later that day. I had a good time.
A few weeks later, I wore another dress that got a lot of compliments. It’s just simpler and classier than what I usually wear. And it had pockets.
I chose to wear these dresses because they made me feel good about myself. I have no regrets saying these dresses are from Wal-Mart by Penny Chic. The first dress I wore is called the Curvy, the second is the Utility. All dresses in all sizes are $20.00 each. Last year, a co-worker turned me on to a new blogger, Shauna Miller of Penny Chic, a blog about affordable fashion. I’m all about affordable. A year later, and much success, Shauna now has a LBD dress collection available at walmart.com, in women’s regular and plus sizes. The dresses are nice, especially for anyone who wants a little black dress. I actually purchased almost every style, and kept the two dresses that worked best for me. I think everyone could find a dress that would suit them. I don’t often wear black (I have two cats), so I’d appreciate a collection with more color or patterns.
