I can't believe I'm saying this

but shopping for clothes just isn't fun anymore.  Diggs christening is this Sunday so I have the formidable task of looking for a new dress.  

Diggs was born in April and for that pregnancy I gained 50 lbs.  It's been 3 months and I still have 20 more pounds to go.  So needless to say, my pre-baby clothes are still not fitting me the way they should.  

Last Saturday, I, along with MrD, the 2 babies, and my sister-in-law, head to the mall in search of a dress for my what I like to call "in transition" body.  I tried on dress after dress only to get more discouraged.

Finally, when my spirit was almost completely knocked down - we saw it.  A beautiful white cotton strapless dress with gold trim as detailing.

As luck would have it though, no size for me.  The very helpful salesperson called other stores - but nothing.  

Then just as were about to leave we took one last sweep of the store. We saw another dress hanging in the back and  Mely convinced me to try it on and I reluctantly did.  I really didn't think it would look right on me as it's a style I don't typically wear (b/c of the belt action).  I thought the belt would call more attention to my baby pouch, but amazingly enough it didn't!  I actually looked like I had a waist again.  That's all I needed to see.  I will post back after the party with a pic of the dress.
