Yesterday afternoon my psychic shopping sense urged me to try to find that purple silk dress in the store in my neighborhood (TJ Maxx, Max for the Minimum). I found it there. Same size, but it seemed to fit a little better. Only it was $7! Of course I bought it. I know a thing or two about sewing, I'll MAKE it fit. A silk embroidered dress for $7 ?!? I HAVE to buy it. I mean, that's like MAKING me buy it.

Now, if only I can find those $159 black embroidered high heel boots I saw in the Speigel catalog for, say, $12...
