I did it. I ordered a dress fromĀ
. I hope it fits. I hope it’s “The One.” Because I really don’t want to pay to ship it back! Doesn’t Zappos include free shipping labels on returns? I highly admire that in an online only retail store. But I don’t want to take away from the joy of this occasion, because I am really excited about ordering my dress (with the birthday gift card from my parents!) I had it narrowed down to these two…
“Fifth Ave”




“Carousel”
I figure longer sleeves is a good choice for Idaho. Especially with fall starting like…next week. (Have you noticed it’s always freezing cold and drizzly for a couple of days during the Eastern Idaho State Fair ?!) Another tangent, sorry. I was leaning a bit more towards the one with giraffe print. I like that it’s a bit more sophisticated. But they didn’t have my size! After a month of periodically checking in, I decided to go ahead and order the blue one (with the fun Amy Butler fabric) since it was never back in stock. This dress is a party waiting to happen, don’t you think? SO. I did! I can’t wait to get it! I hope it’s long enough for all 6′ of me, broad enough in the shoulders, snug through the chest, and a bit wider through those hips! I will report back with my thoughts when I actually get the dress. Till then…enjoy what’s left of summer!
