A funny thing happened to my burgundy dress on the way to the Office Holiday Party. It turned green!

Since I’ve lost weight, one of my hobbies has been shopping in the back of my closet. A couple of weeks ago, I dug out a favorite burgundy dress, taking it to the cleaners to get it ready. That very day, Coldwater Creek sent me an email with this lovely green dress as a teaser. I dithered about if I should buy it, then my boss encouraged me to do so. So, I did, it arrived, and I wore it on Friday night.

Although, I have to admit (shameless excited squeal here) I should have ordered a size smaller.

As I mentioned last year, I love the annual party, dancing with Eddie is one of my absolutely favorite things to do of all time. I hope that everyone has a good time at their office events as well.

Wow, you look fantastic! Next time, check the size guide and measure those hips! I bought a skirt to wear this Friday...I'm eagerly waiting its arrival. It's so nice to not be able to wear half my clothes because they are too big.

Mimi,
I am so glad you had fun. You look so pretty! So you've lost weight? I think you mentioned cutting down portion sizes and how that was the main thing that has helped you. Well, wonderful! Suzanne

This is an excellent picture Mimi. I hope you have a copy for framing!

I love the green dress, too. It is unusual to see people dressed in green at this time of year, in that red seems more popular.
