What She Says:
If you have been reading this blog since the beginning, you know that I am all about a deal. That being said, sometimes you just want to splurge on something beautiful. Almost two years ago, I purchased this silk dress from Tucker. It was more money than I have ever spent at once on one item. My heart was beating so fast when my card was swiped and it was beating even faster driving home when I realized I would have to tell Joe what I had done. It was just so beautiful and special and I wanted to be the kind of girl who would confidently wear a dress like this. I wonder now why I waited so long.
What He Says:
Jeez, you'd think I was the Gestapo or something. I can totally understand a splurge every now and then. I purchase guitars instead of dresses, but I get it. My preference, however, is to get a heads-up in advance rather than play a post-purchase game of "Guess How Much it Cost?" I don't know if anyone will get a Made reference (hilarious and quotable movie), but I sometimes feel like Peter Falk: "I could have used a call."
I LOVE the dress and those shoes look great AND comfortable too. Is there a link I could buy them from? You look great in everything Allie!!
ReplyDeleteThe shoes are a couple of years old as well! :( I will look for a similar version for you ;)
DeleteSorry Joe, I'm missing the Made reference...wahh wahhh!
ReplyDeleteI love your splurge! I think it's especially great to spurge when you know you can wear the item for years, which you obviously have. It makes the sting a little less ;)
Go watch Made. Trust me.
DeleteI once bought a $200 leather vest. I've worn it once. Perhaps now you feel better about your splurge. :)
ReplyDeleteGotta see that vest!
