Thanks to all who left such lovely comments last week. So many of you said I should have indulged myself and I thought about that.

every year you buy back-to-school clothes for the kid(s). When was the last time YOU got a BTS outfit? Don't YOU have to drive them to school? Don't YOU have to go to B.T.S. night? Don't YOU have to go meet teachers? the kid's friends? hel-LO!?!?!? You deserve the dress!!!! Go buy it!

You should splurge, go for it. You deserve it, buy it, make it yours. Nobody is noticing what isn't buttoned up and it says alot if you felt good in it. "It hid the bits I am self conscious about and sorta did nice things for the bits that ain't too shabby." That is a good thing.Wear it . . . out to dinner. Wear it to the grocery store -- just for fun.

Those two folks made me giggle at the suggestions as to where I should wear the dress and it appealed to my sense of zaniness so I thought, 'Why not? They are right!' I went back to the store and they actually had the dress in a size larger. It's still a bit snug but I can close it at least and although I have never bought clothing with the incentive to loose weight before I did this time.
With that, may I present to you with shots from my real camera, not the one in my phone...
The Lime Dress.
I figure I have tie dyed you all to death. So, who wants a 'Lime Dress brightens the mundane duties of daily life series' for HNT? I gotta get some use outta this dress now that I own it.

ReplyDeletebeautiful dress and you look fantastic in it. HHNT
ReplyDeleteYou look almost naked out of tie-dye.
ReplyDeleteHHNT.
Gorgeous dress. What makes it look fabulous is you in it. HHNT
ReplyDeleteYou look great in your lime dress, well done for treating yourself!
ReplyDeletePerfect! I'm so glad you treated yourself and you look fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteBooty shaking time! Wow you look awesome Lime. Time for a night out for sure. Of course the grocery store sounds good too. It would be a little like when I go to Meijer (local retail discount store) with a suit and tie on (not on purpose of course). It just is not the way people dress there. You could certainly make a splash at the grocery store. Ask them where they keep the caviar at. LOL
ReplyDeleteI have a question. Does Mr Ratburn even exist Susie? That is not the first time you were speaking for him. I have my eye on you girl! :)
ReplyDeleteWas that a purchase for you, or for Mr. Lime? Either way I guess you can get the benefits. :)
ReplyDeleteNow make him take you out to dinner.
That is a great dress and you look great in it.
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
:)
That dress was made for you and your GORGEOUS figure!
ReplyDeleteIf I could whistle (and you could hear me...lol) I would!!
I am so glad you went back and got it! Momma's DO deserve a treat once in awhile too :)
HHNT!
I am glad you went for it. It's a beautiful dress.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we all gotta spoil ourselves. :)
AH! It is finally your's!
ReplyDelete& it looks great on ya.
I love the print design. We have such things hand embroidered in India.
The color suits you sooo much!
LOL! & the words in the verification show the same color!
Lovely as always!!
ReplyDeleteDamn, Lime! That's a great dress and it's smokin' on you. You should indulge yourself more often.
ReplyDeleteAnybody not blowing this pic up really should because you're missing a lot of the details in it.
Love the colors too.
Woohoo! Awesome lime dress! :D
ReplyDeleteHappy HNT!

I mean uh...HHNT!
Gorgeous!! You look fabulous in the dress and make the dress look fabulous! I'm so glad you bought it!
ReplyDeleteHHNT!
Lime, you look fabulous, woohoo!
ReplyDeleteThat dress was made for you. It fits your every curve and doesn't look top tight anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI hope the dress makes you feel as great as you look.
Uhhh...that was supposed to be TOO tight, not top tight. Must check my eyes.
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful ... just beautiful. You glow in it, you know? Truly, you do.
ReplyDeleteHHNT

My sweetie and I tie-dyed for the very first time in our respective lives, although we are both known hippies. I will never be tie-dyed to death. But, that being said, your dress is stunning, with you in it :-)
ReplyDeleteoh yeah. that looks great!
ReplyDeleteyou have to jump on it when you find a good dress in a flattering color. even if you wear it around the house to vacuum, it is worth it. (altho i still think you should call a babysitter and make a date with your husband!)
Geez Lime....you'd make any dress look great but you look highly delectable in this one. Great pics!
ReplyDeleteBloody hell, Lime... just about dropped the laptop :) I think another "Phwoar" is in order.
ReplyDelete"you're gorgeous baby, you're gorgeous" love the back side shot too
ReplyDeleteThat dress looks great on you. You definitely have the shape for it. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful dress! And the right woman is wearing it!
ReplyDeleteYou are gorgeous.
