Friday night, we got all dressed up for John's company's Christmas party. It was downtown at the Durham Museum (old Union Station), so we took the opportunity to take a picture on the train. I wish they had some landscape pictures outside the window, so it actually looked like I was going somewhere.
I almost wore my new green glitter shoes, but I thought it was a bit much, and I was pretty sure they'd be ruined the second they got snowy. I think I tried on 10 pairs of shoes before I settled on these. It was the wrong decision for sure. Next year, I need to remember that there is a LOT of standing around, so I need to wear more comfortable shoes. By the end of the night, I almost couldn't walk, especially on the ice and snow! As of Monday morning, my toes are still a little numb. That can't be healthy.
Anyway... this dress is from
Ann Taylor, and it was originally $138. The other day, I stumbled across a blogger who had bought it full price, and was explaining that sometimes it is worth it to splurge on such a great basic item. It's on sale online now for $99. I got it for 7. That's right,
SEVEN dollars. That is 95% off the original price. It makes me feel a little ridiculous that my belt cost twice as much as my dress, but I think I'll manage.

$7 Ann Taylor dress!?! Wow, I need to go into that store more often if there are treasures like that to be found! :) Way to go!
ReplyDeleteI know! I totally scored that day, with another dress for $14, and a silk skirt for $7. I don't usually find that good of deals there, but it's always worth checking!
