I read Kathi's blog today about "if it looks fabulous on you, get it." Now I'm wondering about my shopping choice today:
I went shopping today at Lord & Taylor for an evening gown. I don't shop and have to drag myself out the door to buy socks. Well there is an event tomorrow honoring my cousin, so, today, I faced the inevitable. I went shopping.
I managed to find three dresses that could work, bcbg, guess, and laundry. The bcbg dress was the most flattering. The other two worked, and the guess one I didn't have to hem.
Two dresses were $195. with the 70% discount, and Laundry was $88. And when I asked if there were coupons or anyway to reduce the price, she used a coupon to bring it down to $70.00. If I had good credit, I could have gotten an additional 15%, bringing it down to $59.50.
I look good in this dress, (and would look better without the extra 10lbs) and I am not having buyer's remorse. But I am wondering if I should have just bit the bullet and buy the $700. dress discounted to $195. because, it did look better on me.
My reasoning for going for the less expensive was, it's just for tomorrow night, and then it's over. It's good enough. And that is what's haunting me now, good enough vs great! Sigh, off to the gym, so the body will make good enough, better!
