A really, really great dress:

This was just one of those magic finds. You know the kind; you enter the boutique and there on the left, just behind the trapeze blouses that are so unfortunately (for shapely women) dominating the Trends, is the dress. Then there is the moment of fear in the dressing room; Will it fit? I never seem to fit right in tailored dresses: if it fits my hips it'll be way too big around the waist, if it fits the waist it'll be way too small around the hips. But this? This. It was just perfect!

Still haven't figured out how I'm going to accessorize it though.

It really is a wonderful fit.

Considering the pics you've posted, I've come to the conclusion that you must have the most magical wardrobe since C.S. Lewis first put pen to paper.

See my shoe suggestion in the Pic thread.

I can't wait to take it for a spin!

And this is me making an effort to avoid being too costumey! They had the same dress in black with brightly colored polka dots too!
I thought about getting the oversize floppy hat and kid gloves and going the whole Pretty Woman route (though, for the record, I hate that movie! It's just the clothes I like!), but that might be a bit much, no?
Honestly, I just like to dress up. And after a childhood of hand-me-downs and trying to mix and match Salvation Army rags for the wildest look possible, having the ability to just go out and get what I want has brought out the Little Girl in a Huge Feather Boa and Her Mother's Red Lipstick in me.

I think I speak for the guys here when I say we'd like to see you take a spin in it too.

Floozy.

Preaching to the choir, here.

I was lucky financially growing up, but being considerably wider in my younger years, I never really enjoyed clothes shopping much back then. My choices were limited and I could never express myself the way I wanted to. When I lost the weight I wanted to, the effect on me was like a kid finding a new aisle in Toys R Us. So I can empathise with being able to play with new toys.

I know this is not a purchase, but I netflixed the series Vandread and have received the first two DVDs from the series. In case some of you don't know, Vandread is an anime series about men and women who live on different planets. Women are considered monsters and both of them live in seperate places. In this series, a group of women pilots join forces with three men and go off to battle in space. It's sort of like Transformers meets Star Trek. It's a really interesting series.

I recently bought and received STV Season 5 on DVD yesterday and also bought Odd Girl Out and should receive that tomorrow or the next day.
