the final "other" dress

So, I've talked about "other" dress-shopping for all those wedding-y occasions, like my shower, second reception, and honeymoon.

I've been doing ok finding some steals and deals on my very tight clothing budget, but I was browsing ebay's dress selection upon the recommendation of some bloggers, and found this once-worn j.crew dress I just couldn't get enough of.

Even thought $100 was more than my plan to spend on a dress...it retails for $395!

I think it's cute and elegant and totally fun. I'm going to wear it for our rehearsal and for our second reception/outdoor dinner party in California in July. Gotta have dual-usage. :-)

Thanks to BM Riss for convincing me I needed this dress! I can't wait to see it in person.
