For once I dread going shopping for a dress.

I have a wedding to go to on the 25th.  Normally I'd be thrilled for the excuse to go buy a dress that I'll likely only wear once, but now I KNOW I'll only wear it once and I hate the idea of spending that kind of money.   I'm going to go shopping in my closet just in case I might have something left from when I was smaller, but I'm just about positive that I don't.  

I have found one at Penney's that I like, that will be cute with some silver shoes, so I might head over there today to try it on...

You might try ROSS, they have some really nice dresses for about 1/2 to 1/3 of what the dress at penny's cost.

Already did, everything they have is something my grandma would wear.

My daughter is getting married on 8-8 and I am going shopping this weedend for a dress.  I really have been dreading it.  I do not know how to shop now.  If you have any luck finding a dress somewhere let me know.

I bought a really nice "Jones New York" brand black dress for my cruise at TJ Max in the clearance section for $20!!!  It was a regularly priced $150 dress and then had been about $50 and then clearanced.  It was one of those after 5 kind of dresses that probably won't be worn again unless I do have another party or fancy wedding to go to but it was a great deal and I love the dress.  It also had a stretchy cumberbun type shearring at the waist so it could be flexible on size somewhat.  It crossed over the bustline and was quite spiffy if I do say so myself...never in my life have I worn anything like that before!!!  I really loved the $20 price tag.  I also found another one the same day for a friend with 3/4 sleeves and black as well for the same $20.  Great deals are out there if you just have time to dig around.  I don't pay full price for anything...EVER.  It's nice now though because Omar the tent maker doesn't have to do my clothes and I don't have to be at his..."Catherine's, Lane Bryant or Avenue"....beck and call!!!  I HAVE CHOICES!!!

I got a super cute dress for my reunion at Kohl's for $35. It's one of those halter dresses that go to your feet that are ohh so popular right now. They have some cute stuff there and there is ALWAYS a sale...

Hey Lorna...did they recognize you at your reunion??  I'll bet they didn't.  I love those dresses that you are talking about too.
