So I bought this gown seven months prior to wearing it. How does that work? Here we go...
I originally purchased the dress for a gala I was set to attend in April. A series of events led me to choose a different dress on the night of the event. I was initially a little bummed that I didn't wear the gown that evening (read about that here), but knowing my life and my husband's social calendar (most things come from his end since they're work related) I knew I'd wear the dress sooner or later.
Enter this line: "Honey, we've been invited to a retirement party and it's a formal affair." Well, well, well...whaddya know? I just so happened to have a dress for this auspicious occasion!
The dress held up for the short time we were there (about three hours) and gave me everything I needed to feel beautiful. We didn't bring along our pro camera so my hubby just snapped a few pics with my phone so I could finally showcase this lovely lady (my apologies for not getting a close up of the shoes, but they were cute sparkling pumps from Call It Spring which are currently on clearance...grab'em girl!).
