Recently, the above dress was displayed as part of an ad from Karina Dresses on my Facebook feed. Given that this company is based in the USA and makes its garments in the USA, I had to take a closer look at their web site.
Karina calls its products as the "Original Easy Dress". Given that they have a decent selection of dresses each with multiple patterns on sale, it's worth my effort to get to know this brand a little more. And, given that their one store is located about 90 minutes from me, it's just as much of an effort for me to visit their store as it would be to visit Universal Standard's store before it closed due to the pandemic.
Yet, with all the shopping options out there, nothing seems to say "Buy Me!" I'm at the stage of wardrobe building where I want to carefully fill in wardrobe gaps, and not buy things for the excitement of receiving something new off the UPS truck. I'm also at the stage in life where I should seriously get my act together and lose some weight before my health starts to deteriorate. So, assuming that I start losing weight, I will need to refresh my wardrobe while I shrink - it doesn't make sense to buy things I don't need and won't be able to use for the long term.
I hope that once I start losing weight, that I can use the above image as a model for how I want to look. Yes, I will need to have some plastic surgery, as my former cruise partner needed after her weight loss. But I will look so much better after having done all of this.
