That's right- I fell in love. I feel like singing the hercules song
"If there's a prize for wrotten judgment- I guess I've already won that..."
(which by the way- totally my absolute favorite disney song)
I broke my number one rule. Dont try it on- if you can't buy it.
Tonight I ran over to Barnes and Nobles, and somehow stumbled into Banana Republic. I found the most perfect dress of all time. If it werent for the sales lady- who was amazing at talking me into trying it on....I wouldnt have even thought about it.
I seriously NEVER try something on if I can't buy it. I dont remember the last time I've ever done this. And this is why.

We have a $150 dress- on sale for $85. Which is an extra 40% off. And an additional 10% because the little tacked piece had broken from the front (a one stitch fix to close that right up) AND I had a $20 off reward from my gap credit card.
That made it about $25.

And I couldn't do it. I couldn't break my resolution to not purchase clothes. This picture does not do it justice. But it was the most gorgeous dress ever- a pale pink, with woven straps (that were thick and hid your undergarmet straps) fit PERFECT- not to mention it was a size smaller than I normally wear (so it makes you feel extra pretty!) .
I did put it on hold- I just couldn't walk away. A second thing I NEVER do. I never put anything on hold. If I can't bring myself to buy it then- I know I shouldn't buy it.
I just had to share my forbidden love with you all.

Wow good for you for sticking to your guns!! I know I couldn't have left the store without buying it!
The dress does look lovely on you though! :) I can see why it's tormenting you.
You know I get a discount there...
But it! Which will you regret more later? not buying a 150$ dress for $25 or keeping a resolution (they are made to be broken anyway). DO IT.
Oh my, what a lovely dress... but good job sticking to your plan! I went from January to April without buying ANY clothes, and it felt pretty good. I went on one shopping trip, mostly for work clothes/EXTREME sale clothes (ex. I got a plaid wool skirt for $.45 brand new from Old Navy, which is insane) and now I'm back on the bandwagon.

Do it!
Rules are made to be broken! Its $25! Its perfect and gorgeous! Just don't buy clothes for longer, and miss something you normally treat your self on. :)
Kitty Do it, you deserve it! Getting through a year in law school, doing so well with your blog...I say you deserve it.
One thing I hate is when I regret not buying something that I loved, if it makes you happy you deserve it!
(I think you should get it. It looks like a dream & it's SUCH a good deal!!)
Sorry. I'm a terrible influence!
LOL @ the peer pressure! ;) It is a beautiful dress, I certainly wouldn't have had the self control to leave it behind!
Maybe you could get someone else to buy it for you. ;) That is so hard....glad your sticking to your goal though. :)
