My lack of practicality

So, I was rummaging a catalog, and I saw a woman wearing a dress which I immediately desired.

Was it red? Not really.
Was it cut flatteringly? No.
Was it inexpensive? No.
Was it winter wear? Goodness gracious, no.

What it was was tie-dyed in purple, blue, and gold. It looked like the woman was wearing a nebula.

And that's why I wanted it.

I am really, truly, excessively a romantic.

Which catalog? Wanna see! :)

The Silhouettes catalog, for when Lane Bryant's stuff is just a little too petroleum-based. :)

Ooh - I have the new catalog, too.... (I'm actually considering ordering that mitered-stripe tunic/minidress on the inside front cover; we're doing an 80's Night at the con I work in May, and, well, it's perfect, no?)

The Silhouettes catalog. It was a caftan/coverup in the beachwear section.

Purple, gold and blue would look great on you. *hug*

no idea what the dress looks like, but I think at the very least the colors would look really good on you.

You and Rysmiel both think so, so maybe I'll get this dress, if they put it on sale. :D

*squeezes you*

There is something to be said for a woman who finds nebulae romantic.

*blush* Well, they are, stars' birthplaces and all that. :)

What a cute baby that is in your icon!

Ah, catalog shopping. I love it as much as I hate regular shopping. :)
