When I first saw this dress I was in love. This dress is so romantic and I love the delicate embellishments placed throughout the the bottom and top (especially the top!). Then, when I saw the original price tag, I about fell off my chair. This dress was a good portion of my monthly paycheck. I knew I couldn’t buy it. I am all about splurging from time to time, but I knew I couldn’t wear this year round like a pair of shoes or a handbag (that’s usually were I splurge). Plus, my style philosophy is you don’t need to spend a fortune on clothes to look good- so I decided to wait until it went on sale.

Then the dress went on sale, and the price was still ridiculously high, so again, I didn’t buy it. I waited until this was a final sale item on Piperlime (I could NOT believe this dress did not sell out). By that time the price was so low is was over 75% off and I thought the price was a total steal so I finally got the dress (insert emoji praise hands here!). I bought this dress August of last year and it is finally warm enough outside to wear this dress. So, this blog post has been one I have planned for about a year (goodness!). What do you all think about this final look?! Sorry for the longer post but I wanted to share this dress journey with you all. Do any of you have stories behind some of the items in your closet?! Let me know in the comments below!

Thank you all so much for stopping by!
