Yesterday, whilst taking a stroll with a friend, we passed infront of a shop with beautifully dressed mannequins. "Beautiful" we both exclaimed! I like the neck but I hate the sleeves, I said, naah the sleeve will look good on you she said. We argued for a few seconds before we both realised we were talking about two different dresses.
Two mannequins were dressed alike with the same stunning neck style. Whilst I saw the purple fitting dress with the elaborate sleeves, she saw the blue sleeveless A-line dress, yet we thought we were talking about the same thing.
You can say we both saw our personal styles. Whilst I like fitting dresses, my plus size friend prefers loose styles to hide some bulges.
In life, the person you settle for, depends on what you see. A third person may not see it as you saw it. But in the end, you are the one going to wear the dress anyway. I have always said, choose your choice and live with your choice. If possible, edit your choice.
If we had walked into the shop to make a purchase, I would still have taken the purple dress with the hope of falling in love with the hideous sleeve or probably had a seamstress restyle the sleeve.
I bet the same can be said about many of marriage choices. Every bit of them comes with a hideous sleeve and this time you gotta find a way of rocking those sleeves. So throw on a blazer, wear a statement necklace, do what works for you but distract attention from the sleeves!
Nobody is perfect, I'm not, neither is my fiance. But I guess the miracle of becoming one is letting the spotlight shine on each other's good side!!!!
Sometimes, if you can't hide the sleeve, you rock it and rock it in style. Sometimes, if you can't hide the flaw from the peering eyes of society, you make the best of the flaw. Just remember, sometimes editing a dress only ends up ruining the style!
59 days more and I'm still a relaxed bride to be. Lol

Mrs N to be!
