reunion dress

i finally found a dress to wear to mike's 20-year high school reunion in august. and when i say finally, i mean i had to actually leave the house (the heat! the smoke!) and venture over to arden fair mall (ugh!) to visit nordstrom, my favorite store.

i almost had a panic attack when i beelined straight for the dress section and instead found myself surrounded by blouses. i walked all around, went upstairs, back down, and finally asked. turns out the dress section was moved (and downsized QUITE a bit).

last summer when i went shopping in search of a dress to wear to an outdoor, sweltering wedding, i went to nordy's and tried on about 50 (no kidding) dresses and found many that were viable options.

this time, not so much. maybe 20 to try on, and, of course, the last one is the one i walked out with. i figure it will go a long way (with strappy sandals at the reunion, with black tights and boots this winter, with tights and sandals come spring).

now if only i could get my hair to do that...
