[A followup on Monday's Post] Yesterday, based on many of your comments (thanks, by the way!), I was all ready to pull the trigger and order Dress #1 in ivory.

The two dresses were sitting in my virtual shopping cart just waiting for me to enter in my credit card number. But when the final tally came up to over $120 including shipping, I got a case of cold feet.

I had to pause and instead decided to look up my old friend Amazon one last time. Some more browsing brought me to a dress that I liked, and that was on clearance. *ding ding ding* Music to my ears!! However, since they were on clearance, sizes and colors were limited. I needed sizes 18 months and 4T, preferably in ivory. Unfortunately, they only had the ivory in a 4T, and the 18 month in pink. I mulled it over and decided to order them anway. I figured that I would put a pink sash on the ivory dress, and an ivory sash on the pink dress. My friend K said that little the baby would act as an “accent color,” haha. Here are the dresses with a seriously ghetto illustration of how the sashes may look:

I’ll get rid of that big ole bow somehow. These dresses are poly-silk, which is the same fabric that the more expensive one above is made of, and originally retailed for $70 - $80 each. As for my total bill for BOTH dresses including shipping? Just under $44 (ivory dress was $19.99, pink dress was $14.99)!!! Please don’t call me cheap! I prefer the term,”economical.”

They are from Amazon seller Webb Direct 2U, which also carries a few of the same styles as Flower Girl US. Of course there is the familiar saying, “You get what you pay for…” so let’s hope that this wasn’t just $44 down the drain… *fingers crossed*
