I'm ashamed to say I've had the dress in #1 since November or so and hadn't worn it. It's a thin, silky knit that's dry-clean only, so I somehow kept thinking it was too fancy to wear for just an ordinary work day. But the other day, we had plans to get drinks at a fancy hotel bar with in-laws who were in town, then go out to dinner, so I finally gave it a wear. Definitely felt great in it all day.
Which brings me to the dress in #2. I haven't been wearing it much because I feel like it always makes me look kind of bulgy and potato-sack-like. Something about the cut combined with the thick, clingy knit it's made out of. But I hadn't been able to give it up. I mean, I only got it last year. And it's such a pretty color. And blah blah blah. Well, I tried this dress on again the next day. Somehow, comparing it to an actual flattering wrap dress while it was still fresh in my mind gave me the push to finally just donate it already.
No real point here, but it's just amazing how different these two look on me even though they're both basically the same style. Am I the only one who sometimes needs to be basically hit over the head with how bad something is in comparison with similar alternatives before I can finally toss it?
(And naturally I can add the one I don't like in Finds, but not the other one.)
