In an effort to be more fiscally responsible and to actually wear the clothing I already own, I announced to Husband this past weekend that I would be (gasp!) re-wearing a dress to the engagement party we have to attend this upcoming weekend. I think I was high on the doughnuts (see previous post).
I rarely ever wear one of my dresses more than once. I blame it on proximity really... we socialize with the same people all the time, so once a dress is worn, it has basically been "seen" by everyone. As I mature, I realize that not everyone is paying that close attention to me and what I'm wearing, so as I mature I'm realizing that re-wearing a party dress is not that big of a deal. Even Princess Katherine is re-wearing outfits and she, according to Inside Edition, is the most photographed women in the world... and it reasons to stand because she was photographed outside of Englands' idea of a Wal-Mart with a cart full of groceries. When's the last time an entertainment reporter for Inside Edition talked about your affinity for Frosted Flakes????
I'm sticking to my guns about re-wearing too. I've already tried on the outfit of choice for this upcoming weekend and I feel confident that I can pull it off. And to reward myself with re-wearing I've treated myself to a new dress.
I know, I know.... I know what you are thinking... but I have a wedding coming up that is out of town and from what I'm hearing is going to be super dressed-down. No cocktail attire, no black tie optional... just a normal old fashioned wedding and unforunatley I really don't have many dressed-down-dressy-dresses. The one I own will be worn this weekend to the Engagment party for this very October wedding that is coming up. I think I found the winner at Anthropologie. It is a blue floral print silk slip dress and I think it is pretty awesome.
To make sure I can re-wear this dress I also purchased a waist hugging leather belt... I feel certain that I can belt this slip of a dress and throw a cardingan over the top to make it work appropriate. The right heels and sparkly accessories will make it "going-out" ready as well. Also I intend to wear this dress to my sister's rehersal and rehersal dinner. See! At least 3 different places to wear this 1 dress.
And for the record the outfit I'm wearing this weekend has been worn approximately 3 times, if I wear it this weekend, which I most certainly will!
Ha.
