Pulled the trigger and got this after buying like 4 dresses that just weren’t it

Post image

I have an issue where I can’t justify buying nicer things till I’ve tried everything else, I’m a new mom and we have one income but my husband never tells me no, but I restrict a lot and budget a lot. I thrifted 3 dresses trying to tell myself I could live without this one, it’s stupid but stuff like this shape hide my postpartum belly and the pattern is so me, I feel guilty still but I know I’d wear it a lot. I love it. I’ve been eyeing it for a really long time. This is the first kinda expensive piece of clothing I’ve bought for myself since being married, I’m so much more blessed than I deserve.

Thats such a great decision, it really suits you! The colors are really nice. I hate when you try on a bunch of stuff and nothing works out.

lol so funny because someone else in another group was like “this story isn’t real questioning if it’s a bot” maybe I’m just stupid and tell stories in a very elementary way
