A night in Chicago with SlimPerfect!

August 4, 2009

So, I had my blogher post halfway kinda sorta ready to post but low and behold, it is saved as a draft again!  I think that’s the maybe ohhh 12th time I’ve saved it.  Not kidding.  ADHD much?  Yeah… Let’s see if we can get through this one!

As some of you may be aware, I had the incredible honor to be chosen as one of SlimPerfect‘s Little Black Dress winners from along with Ana from Bonggamom, Lisa from Crazy Adventures In Parenting, Jerri Ann from Mom-E-Centric, and Courtney from The Digital Mommy!  Also, a HUGE thank you to Debba at Girlfriendology and Carole at MuffintopLess for hosting this contest and working with the fabulous Casey, owner of SlimPerfect!

It all happened on Thursday the 23rd and we all felt amazing… well, I know I did!  It all started by getting our hair and make up done by Nicole, owner of  BombShell Artistry.  We all had various things done make up and hair wise, and they made us look amazing.  I had airbrushed make up, foundation and it was something I’d love to do again.  It was so smooth and sleek and light, I didn’t feel like I had tons of foundation weighing down my face.  Huge thank you to U! Creative for sponsoring our BombShell Artistry experience!

After I finished with my make up and hair, I changed into my LBD and headed out to meet some friends!  It was a night I will never forget, and the dress?  OH!  THE DRESS!  Duh, that’s the WHOLE reason I’m posting here!

IT?

Is amazing!

Me?  A person who doesn’t ever wear a true dress, felt a little bit concerned about wearing something so short… but, uhm… hai! there are built in shorts underneath!  HELLO!  Awesome!  I felt SO comfortable, and I didn’t feel like I was giving everyone a show if I’d bend over, except well I was still courteous when I did because they probably didn’t know their were shorts on underneath and they’d think I was a big well, yeah… that just wouldn’t be appropriate to do where there are a ton of people!

I never once got sick of wearing it that evening, it was snug, sleek, stretchy, comfortable, and quite frankly it didn’t really feel like I had much of anything on!  Gotta love that :)

My advice to you… if you are looking for any sort of comfortable, cute, slimming black dress… DO IT NOW!  Go straight to SlimPerfect.com and select your size and click submit order!  BUT, before hitting that submit button, be sure to use the promotional code of “BLOGHER” in order to get 50% of ALREADY REDUCED PRICES! I promise you, I WILL be purchasing another SlimPerfect dress or suit of some sort.  Do not miss out on this, I promise, you will NOT be disappointed…

Annnnnd, as always… here are some glorious pictures of the evening with our LBD’s!

Thanks again to Casey, Carole and Debba!!  And to Nicole of BombShell Artistry and U! Creative for sponsoring our make up!

I unfortunately don’t have too many pictures on my camera that are worth while or worth seeing!  I’ll have to see what the other girls have come up with!  For now, enjoy!

Ha! That last pic cracks me up. You made us look taaaaan and shiiiiny. (Not in a bad way, just a “hmm, pretty sure I don’t look like that in person” way.)

Oh, and the little black dress was super-cute on you. I had no idea make-up was part of the deal, but you looked fab!
