Dirndls Make You Look Kinda Fat and Other Wisdom

If you follow Late Bloomer Bride on Facebook (and I hope you do!), you may have answerd our poll on when it’s okay to ask a man for his opinion on what to wear. Most respondents voted for “only when I ask him,” though “he can have a say; doesn’t mean you have to take it” [...]
