We’ve decided to attend Joe’s company’s Christmas party, which is in January. One problem – it’s semi-formal dress. Ugh. I own absolutely nothing that falls into this category, well, until today. Thankfully, I severely overestimated how long it would take me to find a suitable dress for this event. The first dress I tried on at Marshall Field’s was great. We had them hold it so I could look around some more … and I found another nice dress at JC Penny’s for only $20; the original price was $100! How sweet is that? So we bought that one and went back to Field’s, but I couldn’t bear to put the other dress back so I got that one too – $47 marked down from $100. So now I have two dresses and only one event to attend. I found out I can return the Field’s dress within 90 days even though it was on clearance, so I’m going to be doing a little modeling for Joe tonight to figure out if I should. I’m keeping the $20 dress no matter what … but I’m not sure if I should keep the $50 one. They both look good on me, so it’s really just a matter of whether I need two formal dresses. Maybe if you invite me to your swanky Christmas\/Holiday party I won’t have to choose. ;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
