I’ve never really been a girly girl<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Craig often says the reason he married me was because I could drink beer better than him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was always too busy to being a blokey chick and running around the world to worry about frilly dresses, make up and fancy hair dos.<\/p>\n

It always seemed like too much money and too much hassle to get myself all prettied up and to stay that way.<\/p>\n

I often feel great trepidation<\/strong> when it comes to going out for a girly day or night out, because I never feel pretty enough. I never have the clothes to wear or the know how to make my hair and make up all beautiful and stylish.<\/p>\n

My sister in law hen’s day was coming up and it was a day at the races<\/strong>. I had no idea how I was going to muster up the style that is required for Ladies Day<\/strong> at the races.<\/p>\n

\"Ladies<\/a>

Ladies Day<\/p><\/div>\n

I hurriedly chose whatever dress I could find at the local clothes store. I wasn’t real happy with it, the purple colour was way darker than I would normally wear, but I didn’t have the time to really look anywhere else. And hiding underneath that was the fear that I wouldn’t find anything else that looked good anyway so just settle for it.<\/p>\n

My next dilemma was to find shoes, and after looking at several shoe stores in Sydney and gasping at the prices, I decided that maybe an alternative plan was needed. I knew I had shoes at home so it was time to change the dress I wasn’t really happy with.<\/p>\n

Mum took me into Myers, a place I’ve never shopped at before because I get scared of department stores, they feel too stiff to me for some reason.<\/p>\n

There were plenty of sales happening so I started browsing the racks thinking that I wouldn’t really find anything.<\/p>\n

Then I found the Stella<\/strong> rack and every dress on it I loved. What had I been missing out on?<\/p>\n

I pulled six off the rack, grabbed Kalyra’s hand and marched straight to the dressing room.<\/p>\n

The red dress Kalyra loved but I had to veto her for the fuchsia pink dress that I felt was way more me.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Love this dress<\/p><\/div>\n

As soon as I put it on on I knew it was the one. And for the first time in my life, I felt like a real woman of fashion<\/strong> and I realized that I had been missing out.<\/p>\n

This is what women should be able to feel like in clothes that gently molded to your skin and sashay around you in a stylish manner making you feel like a million bucks<\/p>\n

And I needed to feel like a million bucks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I did not hesitate to hand over my card and pay way over what I would normally pay for an item of clothing, unless it was a travel related waterproof jacket or something.<\/p>\n

I walked out of there with a spring in my step.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A fuchsia pink dress will do that to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
