Unecessarily Long Story Of One Dress

29.7.13




Dress -Evil Twin via Threadsence  //  Boots - Feet First  //  Sunnies - F21

Once upon a time I was perusing the internet fashion shops again and a saw a dress.  It was fascinating.  It wasn't cute, or sexy, or beautiful, or sweet.  It didn't grab me in any of those ways.  It sparked my curiosity and my imagination.  It was unique.  It had strange cut outs and slits, and strange tie dyed patterns.  I didn't know what to make of it except that I stared at it for a long long time.  

I didn't know if I would ever wear it.  But it didn't matter as it was far too expensive for me. *at $126 it's more than this artist can afford to spend on one dress*

Several months later it was in the sale section of the site.  Again, I looked at it for a long long time.  I wasn't sure it would be something I would ever really wear.  Would it just be a waste of money and hang ignored in my closet?  Would this be one of those things I would kick myself for later?  I didn't know.  But even the sale price wasn't enough for me to risk it.  Even for this fascinating dress.

Then.  Then it happened.  A huge semi-annual blow out.  The second I clicked on the blow out and saw this dress in the listings for $15 and in my size I knew that there could be no more hesitation.  It was kismet.  This dress had intrigued me for months.  I was absorbed in the architectural detail of it. And I knew that even if I never wore it, if I thought it a mistake later, my curiosity was worth the $15.  

It was fate.  Now the dress and I have met, and we love each other.  We know we are two peas in a pod.  Two weird, fascinating creatures finally come together.

    1. Yeah, I love that. IT makes the clothes you have already have a story and a history and emotions associated with it. And that's the best part I think.
