As a petite size woman I feared a maxi, especially when I was overweight as I saw others doing that look and didn’ t like it. I must add that my hips were totally out of proportion when I gained weight and that you don’t necessarily have to be thin to rock a Maxi, it is more about proportion and being a petiite that created the issue for me.   So, being so close to goal weight, I thought it was time to give it a try again….

I never imagined that I would end up with what I refer to as a ‘Bubble gum or Barbie pink one…. But as a Dressing Your Truth Type One  it makes perfect sense…. Well it’s Visible Monday and Watch What I’m Wearing and My Greatest Hits,  so this color works! 

I did not end up going for a second night at the beach.  Increasing my weight workouts from 8lbs to 15 pounds each and dancing Friday night really left my body aching.  I must say that doing Yoga stretches really does help and I highly recommend them after working out and again in the morning first thing….

Since I opted out of another beach concert, we switched our date night to a movie.  Not just any movie, but a Premier night of Internship with Vince Vauhn and Owen Wilson.  We didn’t know it was a Premier until security announced it and told us no recording devices and gave us papers telling us the consequences. They weren’t kidding they had security watching  the audience the entire time.  We did forget about them and enjoyed the movie immensley! Our favorite line was when one said to the other that he was a child of the 70’s and he grew up with out internet, sunblock or seatbelts, Then asked him what his seat belt was and he threw his arm out and said his mother’s arm.

My husband complimented me several times on the dress and the color, so I thought he was on board with me in a Maxi…. While in Walmart he saw a few other women in Maxi’s and turned to me and said, ” So, what’s with women and this Amish dress trend?”  

Dear Readers, I am so happy I embraced my fear of Maxi’s and did so in such a big way with the color.  Do you have a fashion fear that you should address to see if it’s real?  Since one of my main blogging goals is to share my enthusiasm for fashion and playing in my closet, I hope to inpire you to DARE to Go Somehere New… That being said, I am neve r going to dare to wear CAMO…. Just never gonna happen!   Do you have a “Never Gonna Happen”  of your own??

In place of my usual Gratitude Section, today, I am going to put something I hope will insprie you and if you are a mother to use as a teaching tool.   I found this on Pinterest ….
