Who I am? or Who I aspire to be...?

The day has come...Mr. Right has put that beautiful new stone on your long awaiting finger and your dream is becoming a reality! Now, your thoughts immediately go to: "Are my shoulders toned? Why did I stay out of the gym so long?!?! How can I hide these hips? Ahhh, am I really ready for this?!?!

You decide you are...Of course you are, he's Mr. Right and it's taken you this long to find him, so let's do this! Off to the dress stores, magazines, Pinterest and anywhere else where I can scowl an endless amount of dresses in white, off-white, pearl, off the shoulder, over the shoulder, long train, short train, no train....and there it is!!! THE MOMENT.  The moment finally came that you'd always heard of...where it's the perfect fit, feel and fashion made perfectly for you!

So, the question is: "Does this dress tell everyone WHO I REALLY AM or does it tell everyone WHO I REALLY WANT TO BE? Not that communicating either is necessarily wrong or right at any given time, but isn't it a fun question to ask myself?

 

Two options. two totally different fit, feel and fashions, but could you find the same girl in either dress on that special day either way out of her comfort zone or right in the middle of the perfect piece of fabric?  THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT I'M ADDRESSING TODAY.  Ask yourself: "Am I truly artsy? or do I aspire to be artsy?  Am I really that dainty girl? or do I really want to expand the dainty part of me because I feel it's true to my feminine nature?" Once again, no right or wrong here, just examining the psychology of picking the dress that we as brides wore or that we as brides to be will wearing.

 

Now it's your turn to weigh in.  What are your thoughts on the matter?
