Hi guys,
I went shopping with my three year old cousin today after I took her swimming, and I happened upon a dress that looks very similar to one designed by my favourite designer, Herve Leger. I spent about forty five minutes in the store trying to make a decision on whether to buy it or not.
A Herve Leger dress would cost about $1500, this one cost just under $120. It is beautiful beautiful beautiful, but I have NO where to wear it, and it is a little less conservative than I usually wear. I bought it anyway, knowing that I could always get a full refund if I changed my mind.

It is killing me. I KNOW that I have no reason to have it, it was a waste of a lot of money and it's not appropriate for the season, but it's just so pretty, and I feel great in it!
I don't know what I'm looking for with this thread, either a talk down from the ledge of keeping it, or an excuse to keep it??

PLEASE HELP, TRF!

p.s. I must admit, it's hard switching from three words to full length and back again!

scottschoe · 15 October 2008, 03:24 PM

Seek out a time and place to wear it. Why isn't it appropriate for a night out? Not too familiar with the designer.

Ashley · 15 October 2008, 03:30 PM

Well, there's Christmas parties (I don't know of any), New Years (no plans yet), Valentines day (Usually not a big deal anyway) and my birthday, which is in August

It still isn't practical!

This is the dress. It's just so pink and pretty.

Oh, and another reason it isn't practical, I have no shoes to go with it!

So do I! I don't even like Tag's!

Pretty dress Ashley.
Find a reason.
Look for occasion.
Invent something up.
Makes you happy.
Keep the dress.
Wear it often.
Katy Perry Glam?
Retro 40's style?

gg922 · 15 October 2008, 04:20 PM

I have been there. I have felt the way you do. I am telling you go out with that dress on and that attitude you will have plans tomorrow night and every night after that. You are a very pretty girl!!!!!!

Ashley · 15 October 2008, 04:21 PM

Uh oh, seems that family and boyfriend aren't fans of it! (Waste of money is the reason.)
But it's just so preeeetty

gg922 · 15 October 2008, 04:25 PM

Your boyfriend is a very lucky guy and should appreciate you buying that dress!!!!!!!!!

I'm trying to wear them down. It'd just be a shame to abandon something so pretty

gg922 · 15 October 2008, 04:37 PM

You have the power over him trust me. I know next date night he would have no problem if you wear that dress out. He will be the the guy in the room with the hottest girl! A very lucky guy!!!!

Now I just need to find time in my schedule to go out and wear it!

JJ Irani · 15 October 2008, 04:47 PM

I think that dress looks quite stunning on you, Ashley. And I don't think it's too formal......which means you could wear it for any informal occasion.....as long as you're happy with it.

Thanks, JJ! The informality is the best part. It leaves it open to so many events.
But I'm off to bed, have a great night everyone!

gg922 · 15 October 2008, 04:52 PM

Have a great time. I know your boyfriend or who ever you decide to go out with will be very happy. Have fun!!!!

golfball123 · 15 October 2008, 04:54 PM

well, it look nice on you....

abigsecret · 15 October 2008, 05:34 PM

Oh my Ashley, look at that skinny figure!!

You look amazing in that dress!! You should keep it just to reward yourself for the mindblowing transformation your body has gone through!
Don't worry about it being a little more pricey, that's why you work right! It's okay to spoil yourself once and a while, and don't let anybody else talk you into returning something for the price! You deserve it!

swatty · 15 October 2008, 05:40 PM

Ashley, That dress looks sensational , don't take it back, your desrve it

toph · 15 October 2008, 06:25 PM

looking great Ashley.

Thre will be a time and a place that you will wear it

keep it and you will be wearing it sooner than you think

Andad · 15 October 2008, 06:37 PM

Wow, that looks fantastic.

I'll take you out to dinner any time.

Janet will write me a note.

Jimbits76 · 15 October 2008, 06:43 PM

Keep it, treat yourself.

Ain't gonna say you look great cos you know that already.

Jimbo

seantk · 15 October 2008, 08:27 PM

Ashley,

I am still not sure.....

Could you take a few more photos of you in the dress

Seriously - the dress looks awesome!!

Sean

Quicksilver · 15 October 2008, 09:16 PM

Ashley, you look fantastic in that dress. It suits you.

Sounds as if you picked up a bargain so you should feel proud on that score. Find an excuse to wear the dress - if you like it and it makes you happy then theres no need to worry.

unclesallie · 15 October 2008, 09:31 PM

Ashley: take that dress back immediately.

on the other hand, you might just enjoy yourself wearing it.......

best,
dan

2careless · 15 October 2008, 09:51 PM

I think you live in a place too cold for that dress...
Have a holiday down south and wear it.

I'm imagining about the safety pin dress

P.S. These kind of dresses are quite common down under. Lots of girls wear these bright colours, especially in the horse races

redshirt1957 · 15 October 2008, 10:06 PM

I have a dress exactly like yours so my opinion is for you to keep it. Looks great on you.

Widows Son · 15 October 2008, 10:52 PM

What dress????

ronin7 · 15 October 2008, 10:56 PM

life is to short.sometimes you just need to reward yourself.there is so much pain and suffering out there take your pleasure where you can.nice dress
