After illness outfits

I had a horrible stomach virus that lasted almost two weeks. I was not in the mood to post pictures of my outfits that I received from Gwynnie Bee. Before I got sick I wore this red dress. It was very fitted to my body and showed ALL imperfections. I wore a slimming dress slip underneath to help smooth me out! LOL It was cute but I was self conscious wearing it because I wore it in front of my boyfriend mother. The dress was v neck and I kept adjusting the fabric so I wasn't showing too much cleavage. I didn't completely love this dress, I wouldn't wear it again mostly because of how tight it was on my body. I didn't feel sexy. My boyfriend loved the dress though! LOL

I ended up wearing one other dress that came in the box but then I got really sick. The second dress got compliments but I hated it. It was a light blue shift dress. It looked much better on the online model. I never wore a dress of that style because I was worried it wouldn't complement my body type and I was right. I felt like it made me bigger and I didn't feel comfortable in it. I never even took a picture of it. The other dress never got worn because I was too sick.

After sending that box back, I got another box but all 3 items were things I couldn't wear because it just wasn't the right occasion plus I was still sick. I mostly stayed in my pj's. :) I just received my last box from Gwynnie Bee. I canceled my free trial subscription last week so no more free clothes to try. I wore a complete outfit yesterday. I wore this Democracy shirt, and destroyed jeans. Both items are things I don't currently have in my wardrobe so getting these clothes through Gywnnie Bee was a good way for me to see what I like and don't like on my body.

The Democracy shirt was good. I loved the style and colors. The arms were a bit tight and the length was short. I felt it was too short for me and I didn't like that it exposed more of my belly area. I wore a tank top underneath to help with the shirt riding up. It may have worked better one size bigger. I wouldn't wear this shirt again but I would find similar styles that work better for me. The jeans were actually a little too big, I thought they would fit better so I should have gone down one more size. They were fun only because I don't buy destroyed jean styles. I don't think I would ever be tempted to buy a pair of jeans like this. I feel like you could only wear them with certain tops and that would annoy me. Overall the outfit was cute and comfortable and something different for me to try. #sharemegb

Stockyard Station

My mom came to visit this weekend for Memorial. In order to save money I found a festival that was FREE in a pretty cool area. The Red, White and Boots festival was being held by the Stockyard station in Fort Worth. It was our first time being there. I've lived in area four years and it was my first time going! It was awesome. Very old downtown area, very active in 1908 for livestock selling. They turned the old pens that held pigs, sheep and cattle into shops, restaurants and event space. There are still train tracks there that go down the middle. It was super humid and hot but we walked our sweaty asses up and down the whole thing. We also stopped into the Basement bar and listened to live music. I don't venture to Fort Worth often but that is the best area to me. I'm looking forward to going back again.

Memorial Weekend

These are the other two items I got from GwyennieBee. I was really looking forward to the Democracy off the shoulder shirt. However, the sleeves only stayed put for maybe 30 seconds. I was constantly adjusting it for the first hour and pulling it down. It actually made me very frustrated that the shirt was not doing what was advertised. I only got this because I wanted off the shoulder. The shirt ended up being a peasant style top which does not look good on me. The shirt also had a small hole in it. I'm thinking from just multiple wears and washing. I gave this shirt a 1 star rating on site. I only wore it for about 3 hours and then took it off and put a different shirt on. The other piece was this blue and white dress. I forgot the brand.... sorry. I absolutely LOVED this dress. I could wear the ruffle sleeve two different ways. I opted for the off the shoulder since I didn't get that style from the previous shirt. I wore this dress on a very hot day. Although I was sweat...
