"First time I wore a dress in public since my injury!!!" Vonn wrote. "When I tried on the dress I was really self conscious and wasn’t sure if I was ready to be in public showing my scars… but I’m happy I did it. Accepting my new scars has been one of the hardest parts of this injury mentally and it’s still a work in progress but I’ll get there. "
