17 DRESSES!!!

So i kinda feel like i should make a movie or something :P

I finally have done it!! All 17 of my dresses are up for sale on eBay.
4 of them have already sold :) YAY!

The Dresses

Some may think, WOW 17 dresses, that's ALOT of dresses! Ok it may be, but what can i say, i love dresses. I go to church every Sunday, so i need to wear one at least once a week. Can't wear the same dress 2 weeks in a row. ;)

The real story is that i just appreciate well made clothing. And stylish too. A new dress makes me feel good. It has been something that i grew up with. After my mum and dad divorced when i was 15, every birthday, Christmas, church dance, big occasion etc... NEEDED a new dress. I think it was my mums way of saying sorry. So i started small and low budget.....
Then i got a job!!! Watch out! she has her own money. We had a monthly church youth/young single adult dance so i was buying a new dress monthly. And not just cheapo dresses either. I had alot more then 17 dresses then.

I got married and had my first baby. My husband said to me, after each baby you can get a new dress. All those other dresses no longer fitted me. My body had changed so i gave them to my 2 younger sisters.

Remember the $900 K.Rudd gave everyone in 09? Yep, i went shopping.
This is when i bought my first Cue dress.
Oh the beauty, the craftsmanship was spectacular! I was in love. I HAD to have it. I even paid full price. YEP almost $300. The rest was history.
Being married and having kids meant that i didn't have alot to spend on dresses anymore, so i kept waiting for the birthdays, and anniversarys and the Christmas dress to come along.
When asked what i wanted, it was always the same... Gift Card.

I am sad to see these dresses go, i truly love each one of them, and the story that goes with each. They were a big part of that stage of my life.
I am happy to be starting the next chapter tho. The chapter of becoming fit and healthy. A chapter of new, smaller dresses.
