Felt pretty and happy this weekend after a very long time... Went shopping and splurged on a beautiful outfit because I have multiple weddings to attend coming up (my ex might be there at one of them so I really wanted to dress as good as possible) and I needed a preemptive pick me up. Jewellery is my go-to treat, but every piece of jewellery that I'm currently loving costs way too much to just spontaneously buy.

Stepped out of the dressing room to show my friend, almost a full dress size smaller than I was this time last year (always a great feeling) and a random stranger paid me just the most amazing compliment! She was like "I hope it's okay for me to interrupt, but wow you are so beautiful! You look like a fairy!"

It just put such a huge smile to my face. There's so much horror and tragedy everywhere in the world right now, that sometimes I feel a little shallow and guilty for being so preoccupied with something as banal as a breakup. But I guess everyone's respective personal problems seems the biggest to themselves. I do my best not to think about it or talk about it, but realising I'd have to come face to face with him and his new fiancee in a couple of months was definitely weighing on me. But when I wore that dress, even before I came out of the dressing room, I felt good. I don't really need him, or any man. It's going to suck being dateless at this wedding, but it's not the end of the world. And the compliments don't hurt

I’d say the universe is looking out for you!

Thank you guys! I’ll say it oscillates between better and worse but in a way I feel like he did me a favour. I don’t have a choice but to get over it now because of the way he behaved. And now looking back I can see a lot of small red flags that I had ignored. So some days are harder than others but even in my hardest days I don’t want him back. I mostly just want to throw something at him. So that’s ok

I’m also just posting a picture of my new dress - it’ll take about a month to deliver, so it’s a picture of the model and not me. But it really is a pretty dress.

The designer actually named it after one of my favourite desserts as a kid, cassata ice cream. I just realised that now when I went looking for a picture of it! Funny how a dress that looks like Indian neopolitan ice cream could make me feel so graceful and delicate.

Oh wow, gorgeous! I hope you feel like a million bucks wearing that, its gorgeous!

Thank you so much!! I absolutely do! I’m super excited to wear it and doll myself up nicely and ignore him completely

Go to that wedding dateless, show them you are strong and don't need someone to prop you up. You will look and feel amazing.! Oh, and break out the bling of course.

Thank you so much. I do plan to go dateless because I don’t want to date someone just to get them to the wedding, you know? I’d rather flirt with one of the other singles there if I want to make a point lol.

I will most definitely be breaking out my best bling. He was a tiny bit insecure of how I would just buy myself the jewellery I wanted and not let him get it for me so I feel doubly motivated to bling out

I wish my dog could talk! He's always giving me "looks". I'd love to know what he is thinking (if anything!).
