Back in July, I went dress shopping to find one for the two upcoming weddings. Now searching for something I like and, most importantly, something that fits is always a depressing nightmare. A trip to Macy's yielded a couple possibilities including a certain BCBG number I nearly went for...but I just couldn't bring myself to pay $250 no matter how many times I end up wearing it.
So my cheap behind dove into my closet and remembered another BCBG dress my aunt had given me five years ago that I'd only worn once to a grad school gala. I also recalled that it was a snug fit (three years ago) and much too long...
So this week I took the dress to get chopped and cleaned. I damn near died when I picked it up yesterday. I mean...it looked so...tiny!! It was practically all gone!
I spent the rest of the work day fretting, hyperventilating and thinking, "OMGOMGOMG! The dress is ruined! I had it cut way too short!! Argh noooo!" I couldn't wait to dash to Mom's house to wish her a happy birthday and try the dress on. I held my breath as I slipped into it...
Turns out I LOVE it!! I pretty much paid $48 for a hot new dress that fits my petite frame a lot better than it used to. Now, one more week til wedding #1 (already?!) and I still need to find a pair of strappy silver heels to wear. Unless...
Hee hee, just kidding! We all know my blue ones would look way better ;)
