The pefect black dress





Ok Geoff thinks I am CRAZY, but I have been very fixated on getting this dress. I have always wanted the perfect little black dress but have never been able to find one I adore and simply get the cheapo ones to get me by. Well, I have done it, I found this dress and can't stop thinking about how cute it is... here is the catch, its a little on the expensive side, its $90. Now back in my single days, this wouldn't have been such a big deal. I was known to shop at banana republic and buy one dress for $150 and never think twice but you other married folks out there know how that is hard to do when your money is accountable to somoeone else as well... But the thing is, those banana republic dresses/skirts that I bought years ago, I STILL wear. They are classic and probably won't go out of style for a really long time. Geoff told me to really think about it before I decided to get this for Christmas. What do you guys think? Is it worth it to pay more for this dress and wear it for years to come? Or, should I wait it out and hope that something less expensive comes along?

*Bonus- this dress comes with both a red and black sash! And the picture doesn't do it justice!

PS: i am baking my own turkey today because Geoff wants his own Thanksgiving leftovers... wish me luck!!

I would get it! Black dresses hardly go out of style and every girl wants one! Plus - this one is adorable! Very classy and I love it! You will definitely wear this down the road and many years to come. GET IT!

Love it! But if you get it and wear the red sash, you HAVE to get red shoes to wear with it too! I think its gorgeous!

I think you should get it.

I wouldn't just go out and get it on a whim... I would set money aside for a while...

but I would get it.

Try to get Geoff to get it for you for Christmas.

i think if you love it, get it. you should spend money on classic pieces. it's better to get a quality item than to spend less and have to replace it sooner.

I always go by this: If you've left the store after trying it on or seeing it and you are still thinking about it like 2-3 days later, then it's probably a good purchase! Since this is obviously what you're doing... you better get it!
