Have you ever tried something on, which was in many ways perfect (
last one, on sale, and oh so pretty), but it had it's flaws (
one size too small) and you end up not getting it ... only to come back the next day because you couldn't help thinking about it and now feel that the flaws aren't so bad after all (
"so it'll be a bit short, I could still work it").. and not only are you thrilled to find that it's still there, just when you're about to pay you spot an identical one on another rack (
the store is so unorganised) in
your size (
And after double-checking, it is definitely the last one)? Bliss!
= Story of this little black dress.
The lace doily-like details are what made it so utterly irresistable.
dress: Forever New,necklace: my etsy,the cutest post-it notes in the world: from Diana (I have a sudden urge to cover my walls in post-it notes... )So what about you? Have you ever regretted not buying something only to find a better deal?
35 little notes:
that is really pretty and how lucky of you too! a similar thing happened to me (kind of) near christmas. i was in primark and saw a sale rack full of pretty red dresses! they were all size 8s, just too small for me. then i found one in my size and was so excited! then when i went and tried it on, i realised only the hanger said 10 and it was really an 8. i tried it on anyway, and what a surprise, it was a perfect fit! only £5 too.
Lucky girl, that is a beautiful dress, it suits you so well, obviously meant to be!

xoxo
i love it on you. it is tough to find the perfect lbd, but i love this one. it's feminine and delicate, just like you!
this dress is lovely! it looks as though it was made just for you and the story behind your obtaining it is the proof :)
I've been a bad blogger those days, I missed a lot of your posts, got a lot to read now :) This dress is lovely, I adore the lace details and the pictures you made are beautiful !
you look great in this! love the lacey details.
The dress looks darling on you!
I don't remember anything like this happening to me with clothes, unfortunately. But when I was booking tickets for Coraline 3D a while ago, all the good seats were sold out when I was checking. I only got someone to go with me the day before the show, and I figured, down front and way out the side is alright, cause I get to see the film! But then when I went to book the tickets, someone must have unbooked theirs, cause right there in the middle in the back were two seats ready for me to book! That made me happy :)
I'm a little like Uncle Scrooge, I'm slways looking for something cheaper, and in the end I always loose everything!
ouch! what a beautiful dress, sist!
looks so perfect on you! :D
I hate that feeling and it happens to me often, I tend to over-think things. I do it with online shopping also. I'll see something I like and save it and keep going back and when I finally decide to buy it's often sold out. But I love your dress, necklace and photos... !xo
Ps. Thank you for the 'Trek' review will definitely have to see it now. :)
It's really most adorable, love the lace details.
That dress is love. Your pictures are also so nice.
That dress is beautiful (the lace bits really do make it extra lovely)!
Unfortunately that's never happened to me! If I like something enough that's not a good fit I buy it & think I'll just alter it straightaway but *shock* it never happens. ^_^
the story about the dress is very unexpected! haha! you are one lucky lady! i guess the dress is really meant for you. i LOVE the white details, just perfect on black dress. and those pictures are quite sweet too! :)
The details of the dress is so pretty!
The dress is adorable: very chic and romantic. You look beautiful. Those white parts are fantastic :-)
Lucky Lady! You look beautiful in the dress :-) and I checked out your ESTY shop- LOVE your necklaces and rings.
It's a lovely dress! You're lucky!
That is SO gorgeous. And deadly. I don't need anymore things!!
Oh that dress is DARLING! I LOVE it.
Unfortunately that never happens to me. In my story, I go back the next day to purchase the "I'll make it work" dress, and it's gone. Tears of sadness inevitably fall that day.
That dress is adorable! The perfect mix of simplicity and cuteness. :) I... can't think of anything like that happening to me in a long while - I haven't been bought any new clothes in forever! :( Oh no, you're making me want to shop!! haha.
I LOVE THAT DRESS. and your spread is positively ADORABLE.
I love that dress it fits you perfectly, recently I bought a book and regret buying, I don't know if that's bad because its a book and you shouldn't feel bad for buying a book, but all I can think about is what clothes I could have bought with that money!
Wow, that dress fits you like a glove! It really does look like it was made for you, just beautiful :)
It looks really good on you! I definitely love the doily details.
lucky girl, that girl the dres is so adorable...
for me, it's so hard to get sale goodies in my size..
happy weekend~
