I’d love to go shopping with you—I’m one of those annoying friends who would ask you to try on what you’ve seldom considered, but know it can be flattering….

Look for those dresses with the cross-band…utterly failing at describing it, but I love helping others find an outfit. Mind you—I’ve only shopped for myself, but I love helping and I understand the need to look for alternative looks to help flatter a changed body.

Doing it by yourself especially when you don’t enjoy shopping is hard…I’ve been the friend who gets the picture texts! Sometimes you’re too hard a critic on yourself—and you don’t realize how a color or style really can dazzle you.

Ultimately I hope you feel good and find something you enjoy! Have fun with it—explore online options! Most have free returns—but you need to give yourself the time for it to be delivered.

Congrats to the lovely couple! Sounds like you’ll all have an amazing time!

Fun read Ellen—as always, authentically beautiful you!!! You’ll look fabulous!!!!
