A friend of mine, the one who is crazy about shoes, loves to post photos of fabulous dresses as well. And by “fabulous” I mean “in the five figure range”. This morning she showed me this confection:
Me: I like the flow and the ruffles on the top that Valentino is famous for, but that flounce at the bottom hurts my eyes.
Friend: One word: V A L E N T I N O!
Me: Two words: B A D G L E YĀ M I S C H K A !!

It’s one of my grails to own a Badgley Mishka gown. I can only hope one shows up at the Goodwill store in my size someday. The funny thing is, Eldest owns one. And by “funny” I mean “tragic”. She needed it for a runway show, and I found it majorly reduced, in her size, and the Saks’ Off 5th store. Talk about lucky.
Now, if only I needed a gown for an occasion besides housework š

Don’t feel too bad. I own a tux, and how many times do I get to wear that?

Whaddayamean, “5 figure”? Those dresses seem to barely co9ntai one apiece… š

*sheesh* “contain” *sigh* (telco convo while typing’s not a good idea for me… ;-))

Well it’s not corsets, but you are heading in the right direction.

What makes you think you DON’T need a gown for housework? (Any excuse, right??) Women get gowns for all occassions(sp?): Ball, Wedding, Maternity. What do men get?
Paternity Suits!!

The first one looks almost like my high school prom dress, except it was blue.
Speaking of prom dresses, is it just me turning into an old lady (get off my lawn!) or have the dresses gotten a lot less dressy and a lot more slutty?

Nope, it isn’t just you! Eldest needs a gown for the AFJROTC Ball every year, and I have to go to White House/ Black Market to find something modest and suitable. Good thing she likes black š

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Go Oscar de la Renta or go home! Does the O-snap.*
*I have no idea what any of this means.

For christ sakes give that top girl a cheese burger or two or three. Make both of those dresses in bright cone orange and Moochelle would snap them up.

“Need” pshaw. Need has nothing to do with fabu clothes and shoes, woman. š

I’m no expert, but they both look like bridesmaid’s dresses to me.
