I received an invitation to attend an award ceremony event on behalf of the company where I work. Only to realize that I don’t have any formal black dress to wear to the occasion (dress code was formal black and white). So I went to look for one. In the fitting room, I had 4 different pieces to try when another reality hit me. My little black dress is no longer little; I had to try a size L in order for it to fit me nicely. There’s this one outfit which fit me oh very snugly but after admiring myself in the mirror, I’ve decided nope this is not the one but to my horror - I can’t take it off!!! It was so tight that I can’t get my arms off the sleeves unless I rip it off - which of cos was not an option. Come to think of it now, I must looked comical then with arms in mid air trying to get the dress off me, but it didn’t felt remotely funny when it happened. I don’t know how many times I told myself not to panic. It took me almost 20 minutes of sweat and close to tears when my maneuver finally paid off. Phew! Okay no more in denial, size L from now on. Close to 1hour in the same shop, I finally found and bought my black dress.
We won 10 awards last night!! So it sort of justify all my effort of buying (not to forget got stuck in one) a black outfit just for the said occasion.
