Dress for DH coming home

shakes · July 2012

I have been busting my azz to lose weight since feb. Down almost 30 pounds! I am picking up DH on Thursday night at the airport and I want to look SMOKING hott! So I am getting waxed on Wednesday and my hair did on Thursday morning. I found this dress, it's usually NMS but I am going for something way different. I have looked like a slob for 2 years. I want to blow his mind!

whatcha think?

I can't see it from my phone either.

Congrats on the 30 pounds, that's not easy! I'm sure no matter what you wear, he will be excited!

The Bay site is being a PITA. Is this the dress?

Not bad! If you have a Zellers going out near you, check it out too. One of ours has a ton of stuff from the Bay, and they've got it at the clear out prices. Lots of designer stuff. They had a Guess dress that was pretty hot, it was marked down from $300 to $60 less 40% - but it was a medium, and I'm not. Crying It probably would have been in the smoking category.

Can I throw in a suggestion? https://www.sears.ca/product/la-redoute-halter-dress/641-000896167-WS12-LR40-8834

I like both these dresses. Save money and just go naked.

Gotta give him something to unwrap. Saran wrap is always good.

LOL

Yes that is the dress thank you. I like the one from Sears however, I am still on the big side and cannot wear that fabric or cut. But it's really cute.

Hmmmm, try on the Bay dress, still hit up Zellers (trust me, I'm not entirely lithe, I found gorgeous stuff), but in all seriousness, try Winners. I had to get a dress for my cousins wedding last summer, and I was there for 4 hours trying on dresses. I found a couple of really nice ones in xl/1x/18, and very flattering. And I have a hard bustline to fit. And butt. And some other junk.

I have one similar to this, and one like it in hot pink from Marks WW as well.

I'm slow on the uptake, your is dh stationed at Borden? DH was out there for training when he was still a reservist. They shut the base down here and he couldn't go with his unit when they moved (just the regs). He was going to go full time in 2001, we were supposed to be transfered there. Instead, he does firefighting.

FrickandFrack · July 2012

Very cute but I think I like the Sears dress the best. It's sexy!

This one is JS and on sale at Macys for $34.99. Do you have a Macy's nearby? It seems all JS dresses are on sale.

I think we'd die and go to heaven if we had Macy's. Target isn't even here yet. They do ship here now, but that may not be soon enough for her!

What? No, DH is an electronic engineer and he's on vacay with his mom in Poland. We live very close to Borden though. My dad was there in his early army years.

Congratulations on the 30 lbs! That's fantastic! I really like the dress! It's hot! I would definitely try a couple of stores just in case though, just to keep options open!

Mama2DBoo1624 · July 2012

Love that dress. Congrats on your weight loss!

Wink Thought I'd ask. Some of DH's old crew are still stationed out there, some live off base. Your DH is lucky, Poland is a pretty place to vacay!
