Well, it's been 6 years since I bought a new dress. So after we got our tax refund the philosopher talked me into going shopping. (And those of you who know me well understand what a challenge that was... generally I loathe shopping!)
So we went to the usual suspects: Kohls, Penneys, Belk. Nothing. Then we hit The Avenue, which is an outdoor mall with small shops like Coldwater Creek, Talbots, Ann Taylor Loft and my favorite, White House Black Market. I told the philosopher that I refused to spend big bucks for a dress, and he made me *promise* to try on anything I liked, regardless of price. (Of course I was thinking to myself, "Sure. I'll try it on. That doesn't mean I'll BUY it!")
So after some "meh" attempts, we ended up at the aforementioned WHBM. I tried several dresses on, and absolutely fell in love with one. THIS one, to be precise. And with a cute little white shrug, it will be perfect for Sunday!
Then we drove up to Kennesaw to another fun store. And guess what I found there? SHOES!!! But the philosopher absolutely won't let me wear them with my new dress, and for the life of me I can't understand why.

And that is the tale of my shopping extravaganza.
