My dresses from the Modcloth Sale came!
Okay so technically I'm supposed to be on some kindof a shopping ban. And I really have been buying less... maybe I should adopt a lifelong shopping ban mindset, because I have been thinking about my purchases much harder, and I don't regret a single one of them from this month!
Anyway, I definitely would've been kicking myself if I hadn't bought this dress. It's Dear Creatures, a brand we all have a crush on (amirite?) and it was marked down to $40. I've had my eye on this one for awhile, and I even tried it on in a boutique over spring break! This color is modcloth exclusive or something, and I probably would have picked the white tbh. But I love it I love it I love it, and I'm so happy it's mine!
The other dress I got was a lot cheaper, and Travis bought it for me as a little gifty! I have to take it in some before I wear it, but it's super pretty too. I bought him a video game as a thankyou.
I actually went out and bought an iron for this dress. That's right, I didn't own an iron until now, and I almost killed an old dude trying to get to it at the store! He was walking really slowly through the isle with his wife who was in a wheelchair, and he sat down right in front of the ironing boards. I was all "Excuse me, can I just. grab. thissss" and then as he shifted out my way, a bunch of boards fell on him! That sounds a lot gnarlier than it was, it was more like they were stacked up behind him and just sort of thunked against his back. But they kept doing that every time I tried to angle them back towards the shelf and eventually he just told me to leave and I just kindof ran away like "Aaack I'm sorry!"
I mean, maybe I could have handled it better...
Here was Trav's outfit.
Shoes: Kimchi Blue from UO
Bag: Fred Flare
Brooch: Handmade, Available in my Shop!

This dress is perfect on you. Love the netting on top and I am so glad you bought it! That sale is really hard to resist. I too fell victim -- a 90$ (I already own in black) on sale for $20...how is a girl to say no?
ReplyDeleteYour boyfriend's shirt is a really great color and I like his shoes. Y'all look wonderful!
I still don't own an iron. I use a blow dryer if it's really bad, but otherwise, whatever, wrinkles!
Looks so lovely- that lattice detail is adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome in that dress! I totally missed buying anything in the sale because I didn't have any money. I definitely tab-shopped though!
ReplyDeleteI'm more of a steamer gal myself, my husband likes irons.
Also, holy adorable brooch, batman!
OMG!! I have not checked out your blog in way too long and I feel like such a bad person for doing that :| Blame university! I haven't had time to read anyone's blogs. Anyway, FREAKING HECK you look so gorgeous with your red hair!! It suits you so, so well.
ReplyDeleteAnd I laughed a lot at your story. Aww man.
Love the dress (hell yes to all the Dear Creatures dresses), and I lifted my shopping ban for the ModCloth sale, as well. How could you not?! You look adorable in that close-up shot!

Hahaha, just because of that title I knew I had to pore over your entire post! Ah, I can totally relate. But it's on... sale! Is it weird that I tend to do that with art supplies, too? Man, art sales totally get me. You can always use a new Sharpie or set of charcoal... yum.
ReplyDeleteAnywho, this dress is adorable. Thats some freakin' amazing lattice detail going up around the shoulders and I adore your quirky little glasses. What a cute lady you are!!
Gah - your whole outfit - <3!!! Could this dress be anymore perfect?!!! I'm guilty of breaking my ban for the same thing...haha, and it's a good thing I didn't see this little Dear Creatures number because I would have wanted snag it too!
ReplyDeleteAw that story about the iron...eeks, I would have been so awkward and mortified - though I can totally see that happening to me as I've been guilty of accidentally knocking over displays before!
This is a gorgeous dress!
ReplyDeleteEhehe, your blog never ceases to fail at making me laugh (it's secretly my favorite blog) and that dress is super cute! :)
