The Search is Over

Success!

I finally found the perfect gray dress. I have been looking for the perfect gray dress for years. Years, I say! I have the perfect brown dress, the perfect black dress (ahem, several, actually), the perfect red, purple, the list goes on--but, no princesses closet should be without a gray dress. It can be dressed up for evening, worn to work, or the perfect church dress. Why on earth is it so hard to find?

Last week, during a quick Target run (sure) mine eyes stumbled across this lovely gem (LegallyBlondeMel will appreciat the horrors of the Target website pictures).



It's first rate fantastic. The fit is perfect--um, it actually makes me look like I have a chest--who knew! I tried it on and may have done a little dance in the Target dressing room.

I bought it in purple too.

And was considering black. But, the nice UPS is bringing me a new black dress later this week, and I don't think I can convince the husband that I need another black dress (but this one is perfect!). His words to me while I was showing him my online shopping cart last week "Really? You don't need another black skirt. Or black dress." (he's right--shh, I didn't say that).

So, head off to Target and pick yourself up this lovely dress.


In purple, gray, or black.


You'll be glad you did.

PS. Wore the dress yesterday for a fabulous lunch with one fabulous blogger (had so much fun, can't wait to do it again!). I have officially dubbed it my 'lunching dress'--which means you know it'll work even if you eat too much--not that I have any experience with that or anything.

That's awesome! Alas, I am still hunting for the perfect grey dress. If only I lived near a Target...

And I completely agree - their website is horrible!

I have that 80s song in my head..."The search is over, you were with me all the while..."

Hysterical, because there she sat, waiting for you in Target, ready to be discovered. Glad you've found a new dress-friend!

Never underestimate the power of the perfect grey dress. Mine was found at the Holt Renfrew Last Call (like your Saks outlet)... a Giorgio Armani dove grey shift with a slight empire waistline.

Marked down from $4500.00 to 400.00 with another 75% off... I seriously paid just over $100.00 for that dress. I do not lie about these things. And it fit like.a.glove.
