I would probably say that Red is my favourite colour. It is certainly a colour I am drawn to and feel comfortable with. Its strange how important colour is in our lives - it makes all the difference to how we feel about things. It helps us with identification in a number of ways, from practical things, to messages we want to send out. Black and white alone appears to be 2-dimensional, and so colour brings things to life. The study of colour in its full depth is something I have not done, but I am fascinated by colour and how it influences our life.
As I mentioned before, the colour red is something which I like and am drawn to. I find it strange that I should be drawn to red as it is tends to represent a lot of things which I am not... perhaps opposite attraction is at work here.
Anyway, the reason I have started this narrative is because I have always wanted to own a red dress. I have always like the song 'Lady in Red' and associate the lady in red with confidence, mixed with a bit of mystery and charm. Being the size I am has always inhibited me to go out and buy a red dress, because red really makes you stick out and I haven't been ready to stick out like a big red beach ball just yet.
However, when I reach my goal of size 14, I want to wear a red dress and feel good about it. So I have started looking online now for a red dress. I have a year to find the one dress that will be perfect for me and I want to spend my time looking for the right dress. I will be scouring the online shops for that coveted red dress so I can absorb all the different types and styles. I hate going into salon style shops as I hate being pestered by the shop assistants, especially if all I want to do is just look around. Going into shops to find evening/party dresses has always been an issue for me as most of these places only cater for the smaller sized woman - rarely do they go up to size 16, let alone size 18-20 etc.. I always feel funny just looking at these dresses as I feel like everyone is looking at me and thinking 'you are too fat for these'. Another insecurity! So online shopping is a blessing for me, even though it has its disadvantages. But I intend to look around at dresses periodically to see if I find a style I like and then I can always look for something similar when I reach size 14 and feel allowed to be in the posh salons/boutiques.
So if anyone knows of any good websites for nice party/evening dresses, please let me know!
