THE Dress

THE Dress and I first crossed paths a few months ago in Melbourne. It’s relatively unassuming, classic, subtle, but with a bit of shimmer .  Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not an earth shattering design. It’s the cut,  and the fabric, and knowing I would wear it for many different occasions. I tried it on. It fit like a glove. BUT. The price tag. I couldn’t do it. Even though I really wanted to.

So, I walked away (I KNOW. I am SO strong.)

A few weeks later I was  shopping with my Husband (obviously, a rare occasion) and couldn’t help it. I had to go visit THE Dress. Because, it obviously was only a dress, and had become so much more in my mind. I needed to get over it.

It was still that perfect. It still had that price tag.

I walked away…slowly….

And then today, I went to visit it at DJ’s. And it was reduced. A lot. I decided to head down the mall to it’s “home” store. You know, just to see.

And there it was in my size. HALF PRICE!!!!!!!

And now it is hanging in my wardrobe, and I feel incredibly content.
