Okay, I know you're probably sick to death of hearing about my little summer dresses, but I haven't quite got my fix yet.
Anyways, this tale will be short and sweet. Well...not so sweet.
I was invited to celebrate a friend's birthday with her and her parents this Sunday. This entails going to a fancy steakhouse and namely having to "dress up" a bit. Now, my friend, who is not entirely a fashionista herself, posed a minor skepticism that I would be able to find attire to wear. I consider my wardrobe to be pretty set, having a little number to wear for everything (except maybe a walk down the red carpet). However, I did not want to disappoint my friend or offend her parents, so I went in search of a dress that would satisfy the occasion. These are some of the dresses I would like to have purchased: Anna Sui or Navy dress. However, they were both totally out of my price range. I decided on a brown and blue version of this dress: Oneill dreamy dress. The good news? This dress was on sale at surfride.com for a mere $22.98 + $4.95 shipping! Fantastic! But there's always a catch, right? Well, the dress took the full 6 business days to arrive and when it did arrive (there's always the moment where I fear I will not fit into anything) it still had a security tag on it! I informed customer service and their brilliant plan to remove the security tag involved needlenose pliers and a flathead screwdriver. How does an urban princess compromise? By making a small tear around the security tag (it was on the hem of the slip) and sewing up the mistake. The only satisfaction I have now is that I have a "conservative" dress to wear to dinner and I think I can get away with it at work too. :)
