Three down!

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

Whee!

See kylaroma’s challenge here:

Buying dresses is rough, but here are numbers two and three! The second was bought recently enough before I started this challenge, so I added it in here, and the second one was another Winners purchase. Ka-ching! Money saving is what I love to do!

There’s a part of me that worries - What exactly am I going to do with all of these sundresses when winter comes flying back in here again and haunts us for another 9 months? These thoughts are then quickly suppressed by some version of carpe diem… and I wear them everywhere. To the grocery store, to the farm, to fancy events and while doing laundry (ok kidding about that last one).

Might as well get as much use out of them as possible, oui?

Dress one…

… of six?

Oh man. When I first read about this challenge, I thought that six dresses wouldn’t be such a huge commitment. But then I started going around the stores… and realized how much I absolutely hate shopping. See that awkward, pained look on my face? That’s what the thought of buying 5 more dresses looks like (just kidding!). But this is definitely a challenge for me!

I snagged this Element dress at Winners for 24.99. I might hate shopping but I love a good deal. The colours are super bright and I feel a bit self conscious in it, but it was cute to wear around on Sunday while getting some ice-cream down the street from where we live.

I’m planning on hemming it to knee-length. So that could probably count as dress #2… right??
