Fancy Schmancy

We had a fancy schmancy dinner with Cesar's work. The last time I went to one of these, I looked and looked for an outfit, but finally gave up because I wasn't in the mood to shop. Go figure. I ended up wearing a nice church outfit and felt COMPLETELY under dressed! It was horrible! I promised to never do that again! So, here we are, two years later and it is time for the fancy dinner. I wasn't going to let my mood deter the shopping, so I went out and bought a completely beautiful dress and shrug and spanks and shoes. The next morning, I was telling my girl friend all about the new outfit, and she got really mad at me when I told her about the dress. She told me I couldn't afford it, and that I needed to return the dress and keep looking. Well, if she had just come with me like I had asked, I wouldn't be in this problem, now would I? :) She was totally right! I couldn't afford the dress, shrug, spanks and shoes. So, I went out shopping again and found a different (more me) beautiful dress. It was about half the cost of the other, so with the shrug, spanks and shoes, it was a bit more affordable. Cesar didn't really care. But, I don't think he really knew how much I had spent on the dress. He didn't really need to know, at least not yet. :) I borrowed some jewelry from another good friend and I was set. I must say I looked much better than this picture shows. :) I should have taken off my shoes. :) I couldn't breath the entire night, but I ate through the pain. Totally worth it! You can never breath in spanks. But you do look slimmer without the love rolls. We had a great time. And the greatest part is that I have a beautiful dress, shrug, spanks and shoes to wear next year.

P.S. I forgot to mention how freakin' handsome my husband is!!! It was so much fun to be by his side. We really had a great night!
