My first shower is this Sunday, and instead of being beside myself with excitement over such a fun and (let’s face it) me-centered party, I am totally freaked out. So you know this whole show thing I’ve been doing? The whole nothing-but-art-building thing? Well, that has left me with days until my shower and absolutely nothing to wear.
My wardrobe currently consists of running clothes covered in paint, and a handful of black dresses that fit alright. I’ve lost so much weight that none of my actual go-out-in-public clothes fit. That leaves me with a hole in my wardrobe. What in the world am I going to wear to my shower?!
Being a tall lady, shopping for clothes is always a pain in the rear, especially in the dresses and skirt department. I stick to Banana Republic, Gap, and Old Navy because of their tall peeps offerings, but nothing just screams LAUREN to me at present. It also is a little stinky that I can only shop online because said stores do not offer tall sizes in-store. Bummer. So, naturally, I just spent [read: charged on my lovely mother's Banana card] an inordinate amount of money on stuff I’m not really bananas over.

There is a possibility that some of this will look not terrible on my strange figure, but sadly there is no guarantee. I sure do hope at least something in this array will work– I just refuse to wear black to my very own bridal shower. The order arrives on Friday, and then we’ll see whether I can begin to get excited for my shower or begin to totally freak out about having nothing to wear.Until then, I’ll try to continue breathing and telling myself it will be alright!
Was choosing something to wear to your bridal shower fun, or a total nervous-wreck-inducing experience? What did you, or do you plan to, wear to your shower(s)?
