Soooo I have this wedding to go next month. 2 friends from college, part of the whole crew, first big wedding of our bunch, you know how it is. And I was looking around for a new dress because they've all seen all the ones I have. And I went to JCrew's sale section, but saw a "little black dress" link, so obviously clicked on it (I also need a dress for the rehersal dinner, cuz I'm now doing a reading, so that's another dress I wasn't expecting on buying, but, whatever).
And I'm in love. It's way more expensive than I would normally spend on just another dress for a wedding. But. I can get it in RED! And I've been trying (rather unsuccessfully) for like 3 years to get a red dress for our big fancy company christmas party. And I can wear it to stuff for OUR wedding next year too (assuming I don't balloon up and gain 50 lbs and if I do I'll probably just cancel the wedding cuz omg). I'm totally in love it. In Vintage burgundy. And I know the style will look fantastic on me. Did I mention I'm in love with it?

that isnt to bad for a dress. I also like to check David's Bridal as they have really awesome dresses there too. Might have a similar style for less there and they have sooo many colors!!

That beautiful Col! I would so get it! $200 isn't really THAT much if you have a chance to wear it often!

That is a gorgeous dress Col! It's WAY more than I would ever pay for a dress for myself, but if you can afford it and think you'll be able to get lots of wear out of it then you should splurge!!
