Happy Thursday! It has been so warm here and summer is quickly approaching. So, strapless dresses are in season! I have NEVER been able to wear strapless dresses before (my lady jugs were TOO big and they didn't make strapless bras in my size) BUT, as of a month ago today, my life has CHANGED! I had a reduction and lift 4 weeks ago and it is the BEST decision I have made! I am still swollen and bruised but the difference I feel and see is dramatic! That being said, I headed out to find a strapless dress that I always wished I could wear.
I headed to Forever 21 (which I honestly never went to, thought it was for teens like Wet Seal) and was overwhelmed and shocked at how many cute, ON-TREND things they had and how CHEAP everything was, like SUPER cheap! Granted the quality is poor and the items won't last forever, it still was a great place to hunt for clothes.
I FOUND THE PERFECT strapless dress! Horizontal stripes (BIG this season), very lightweight cotton, not too short, but not too long and the BEST PART, wait for it... IT WAS $10.80!!!! So naturally I had to buy two colors. They look REALLY cute with a thick belt (Old Navy had the fuchsia belt for $9.99 and I got the sand color belt at Target for $12.99).
If you are MEGA-BUSTY, strapless won't work for you. But, you could wear a short sleeve cardigan over the strapless to conceal your bra straps, great alternative. Just try one on and play with it to see if it works for your body.
I have some other reviews and good deals I have found that I will post soon. Have a great MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND! Celebrate MOMMA!
Here's how I paired the outfits...
