She wore a pale blue dress to the ball
It was long and flowing
Heads turned
She enjoyed the attention
She wore a red dress at a party
It was short and revealing
She knew she looked sensational
She felt empowered
She wore yoga pants at the supermarket
Although she never practiced yoga
Eyes followed her down every aisle
She liked being admired
A few years later
She had gained some weight
Desperately still trying to dress to impress
She felt she was losing
Some years later
She adopted a conservative look
Classy but stylish
She felt in control
Many years later
She wore sweatpants for shopping
And a loose top
She felt comfortable
She looked at her old photos
When she was young and slim
Always wearing the latest fashions
Fond memories made her smile
She helped her daughter pick out her wedding dress
She bought herself an expensive pale blue dress
A few sizes bigger than her first one
She felt elegant and at peace with her figure
