Marny, the next time you go shopping at Joe Fresh at Superstore, may I tag along?

But of course! I have been all over lloking for nice summer dressess. I found more in that one section than in all of the other places. They have such reasonable prices, and pretty good quality stuff too! I got a very sassy black crochet dress (still have to get a black slip in order to wear it), and the navy one I mentioned in the OP.

I got a really nice one at Mark's last week - very light material (not the T shirt material, just cotton I believe) in a light grey, empire waist with a white wide lace band around the high waist, strap sleeves, so I'll have to wear a tiny short-sleeved sweater with it in the office. SO cute.

Love, love, love summer dressess. Surprisingly, Marks was the one place I did not go. Does yours have that nifty built in bra? Last summer, I tried a bunch of those on, but I was not quite there yet, and they were all too tight on my bewbs. I should go back and try on more, since my bewbies are almost gone!

Oh, yes it does, forgot to mention that. I wanted to wear it today, but it's too cold out. :(
Are you able to come to coffee tonight?

Coming! Yay. I feel like I have missed coffee night so many times. I am looking forward to it. I may be a tiny bit late depending on when Mike gets in from work.

Joe clothes are an ego boost :-). They tend to run one size down for me:-) than most stores.

Awesome!

I was in Good Will yesterday, and after trying on a couple of items (after waiting a looooong time to do so, I passed a dress hanging from a rack on my way to check out. It was cute, fit my fashion rules, but was only XL. I didn't want to wait again, and didn't think it would fit, but I snagged it anyway to be a goal dress.

I got it home, put it on and it is adorable on me. I haven't had a summer dress in years, and I don't remember the last time I fit into anything that was just XL.

Also... I'm (mostly) into the teens again! 18 is the newest pair of jeans I am wearing. :)
