Ok, first a lil background. I had just recently separated from my "virtual" boyfriend last week, and I had kinda seen it coming so I wasnt toooo surprised, but I still love him and it still hurt bad. So then later that week I met this other guy who I liked and was suppose to hang out this weekend, but after getting to know the real me more...he flat out told me I was "difficult" and basically didnt see us becoming "us". I gotta say that was kinda a low blow..I guess Im too much to handle LOL :) Its cool though I'd still wanna be friends with him. Soooo, that romance kinda ended before it even began. I was sadly "dumped" by two different guys within the span of 1 week. So I was NOT looking forward to this "holiday" which revolves around lovey dovey mushy stuff towards your loved ones, particularly if your in a relationship. The day started off normal and I thought maybe, just maybe I would have an OK day, but to make matters worst, I was contacted by those two people. One was chill and just wanting to know how I was doing, but that other one...geezzz, its always difficult to know what is meant by his communication. Its like, I love you, but I dont want you right now. Again it was ME who was flawed...too dependent and clingy to be specific. All that did was make me more confused, sad, and stressed about things. GRRRRrrrrrrr.
All seemed like my Valentines would be a miserable day. To be single on Valentines day is really bad here in town because everywhere you go, the freaking streets are lined with people selling Vday gifts/flowers/stuffed animals/balloons/chocolates ect ect. UGHHHH....Any ways, to overcome the depression, I went shopping to ROSS. I swear that store can work wonders and cure any ailment, LMFAO :)
I never ever look at the dresses cause I dont wear any, but today, since I wanted to just spend time on myself, I looked through the racks, tried on like 7 of them and actually bought 1. I now officially own a dress....OMG heheheheh. Its been like 7 years..serisoulsy!! I really dont know if I'll ever wear it out, but ohh well, its MINE now.
BTW, I have no idea how to wear dresses, its sleveless and I hate it, hence the lil sweater. I know its a moderate length, but I think it's kinda short for my liking, and I have no dressy shoes for it other than my halloween costume heels which kill my feet/toes. I usually only ever wear pants/jeans/slacks and like sneakers or my combat or cowboy boots. Hahahah, I suck at being girly, but Im learning more about fashion with the help of my friend Maria @ http://txlovelifeandfashion.blogspot.com/ (If your interested in budgeting fashion, or fashion trends in general read her blogs. Very insighful.) (ohhh and Maria, your awesome and very chill to hang out with, and thanks for your shoutouts in your blogs...LOL. Looking forward to hanging out again soon)
So hopefully, at my ripe age, I will finally become a woman of sorts with this new found knowledge...hahahahha. So in summary.....the day was kinda rough/confusing/arousing/disappointing/blissful/and full of guilty pleasure shopping. :)
Anyways.....So here I am...still a single woman on Valentines day, but Im ok with it...
I forever love
ME, MYSELF, and I
OMG, Marisol, you look so great in that dress! I'm so happy that you finally tried it out. I promise it will get easier to wear them. I use to hate dresses and skirts and now I kind of love them. This is a great start. The colors are good on you and the cut is awesome. I think the shoes look cute too and you did a good job with the little sweater over it. You have to do whatever you have to do to make yourself more comfortable. I'm not a fan of sleeveless either. I have huge arms, so I usually hide them. I love that you're trying out new things and I'm happy that you're enjoying my blog. Oh, and I'm so happy to hear that you're putting yourself first. Shopping always helps! Can't wait to hang out with you again. :)
