Who Knew Trying on Dresses Was So Dangerous?

So, as I stated in my previous posts, my mom, sister and I went to David's Bridal in Albany on Saturday. They were so incredible, I really wish we had one around here. I have been to quite a few different bridal stores and this one was by far the most helpful. It was a little overwhelming at first. There were so many dresses, so many people and one salesperson to three brides. You really wouldn't know it, though. My girl moved so quickly, I was never once searching for her for help. She immediately started grabbing dresses off my list and when we had enough to fill a dressing room, she scooted me away from the gowns, asked me my bra size and told me to go grab some heels. I told her 32 double D and made my way off to the wall of shoes. I picked a pair that looked most like ones that I might wear and potentially the same heel height, 7 inch spikes. I met my sister in my dressing room and she informed me of the instructions from the DB girl. I was to first put on my shoes, then the bra and then the thingy that goes under the dress that makes it poof out. This is a little silly, I thought. Why would I put on the shoes before the skirt? But, I did as I was told and as soon as I lifted one foot to put on the skirt, I realized I should have trusted my instincts. I immediately lost my balance, but don't worry, I quickly caught it by stabbing my 7 inch heel into my thigh. I tried not to yelp or make too big of deal, just took some deep breaths, blinked back the tears and told myself beauty is pain or however that stupid saying goes. I walked funny the rest of the morning because I didn't want to get the skirt all bloody since I wasn't about to buy it due to my lack of balance. Although I have developed some bruising, I think my thigh is slowly getting better. I didn't walk as funny today as I had to on Sunday and Saturday and I have been using Neosporin like Danielle suggested. Still, I wanted to share my battle wound with all of you because I'm not sure you would be able to imagine the actual damage otherwise. Please take my advice, don't ever try on clothes wearing heels, it just isn't worth the damage.
