I found a dress that I could get married in today. And if I don't end up married, I can wear it to other events!

I finally walked into this store that I'd been noticing for a couple of years - it's at an outlet mall. The dresses in the window have always been beautiful, but I've always been too heavy for them (they actually do carry large size clothing though). I have an event in January so I figured I'd check to see what else they carried.

I noticed this really beautiful dress in the sale area - white on top, black from the waist down. It is a formal dress - but you could shorten it to the knees and it'd be less so. The price tag said $29.95 and it was down from $110.00 - and the sign said 50% off of that! So for a really pretty dress - a $110.00 dress - I paid $15.00. The tax on the original price would have cost half of what I paid!

The dress does not fit me yet - but in another 25 or so pounds, it will. And actually, I'd not need to lose that much (though I obviously want to lose that and a little more). The dress is such where it can be taken out...or in...by a seamstress.

I really love this dress, I can't believe I got it at that price. I probably wouldn't have paid $30.00 - but I couldn't pass up $15! And I did want a dress I could wear to different things, not just a wedding. A nice dinner, or a holiday party, etc.

Anyway - I'm thrilled. And like I said - if we don't get married, the dress was still way worth it!

I had gone out shopping for my sisters wedding gift (something additional to what I have) and I ended up with something for myself. Now I need to get out and see if I can find something for her!
