Girly stuff.

[eurydicebound]

Okay, so I have a work Christmas party coming up, and it's a fancy dress sort of thing. Not altogther formal, per se, though people can do that if they want (it's Seattle. Dress code here is something we take out every so often and poke gentle fun at.) Now, I don't have a dress that will serve. Or rather, I have three dresses--one goes with a suit jacket, one is a cotton summer slip dress (won't work), and one is a short slip dress that's red with black lace over it, that's a size 14 and roughly 5 years old. I haven't worn it in forever. I keep it so that I'll know when I get to that size. It's also, well, short, and thus not altogether work-occasion appropriate. I've also been losing weight and reshaping things a bit, and I'd like to get something that actually fits me.

Well, last night/today I realized I needed to get on the stick if I were going to look for something, and so I went to looking online to get an idea of what's out there. I found this.


I really like it, and I think it would look nice on me. There's a Coldwater Creek store in town, and I think I may go by in the next weekend or so and see if they have it in stock, then try it on to see what it looks like. I'm not entirely confident enough to buy it sight unseen, but I think it would work. Comments?
